While I do agree that a lot of calls are missed and there are even more that are called and shouldn't be, you have to give the refs a break. There are ten players and two goalies on the ice at all times and there are only two referees. They can't see everything at once and they do their best job to try to call what they do see. Also, there is a whole fleet of refs out there, not just one. Each one of them is going to percieve the game differently and call different things. A younger ref might think that obstruction is ruining the game while and older more classic ref might want to call only the most blatant of penalties and keep the game going. Considering the crap some of the players do out there, the refs are doing not so bad of a job.
