For as long as I've been following hockey the refs have been complained about and called everything but good. When does it sink in that this is the way they've always done it and they ain't gonna change! Consistent inconsistencies are to be expected so why do we insist on complaining?

I just have an inquiring mind!

 I'm with you oldhead,

You rarely see me complaining about the ref's.I've been following the Pens for soooo long I don't want to even think about it.Thats probably why we both never complain.It just doesn't do any good and the end result isn't going to change.So if your an adult,just try to comprehend a loss.It's not the end of the world and nobody died or lost their job.It's the way of the NHL.People that complain will realize this eventually (maybe years down the road).If their lucky?

GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree completely, complaining about the refs and what calls they made or didn't make, isn't gonna chnage the out come of the game, so just suck it and accept that the refs are just the worst people on the ice... LOL.  LETS GO PENS... OH HE BEAT HIM LIKE RENTED MULE

I have done my share of complaining about the refs. And I know they are inconsistent. What I complain about is that the are not consistently inconsistent for both teams. There are games where the calls just seem to go against one team, where the other team can do no wrong. Even though they are slashing, holding and interfering same as the other team that is getting the calls against. But like it has been said...  complaining isn't going to change a thing. oh well....

The officials do the best they can keeping up in a fast paced sport.  They make calls, teams simply have to live with them and go out and keep playing.  Teams who waste too much time complaining about calls are doomed to lose.  Shut up and play.

i think they do thier best most of the time, but that the rest of the time you get the human error which is part of the game and until they find a better way thats how its going to be . both teams have to play  with the same refs.

I have to admit, I do complain about referees' calls, though I full well know I cannot change the outcome. This is what, in my opinion, makes the came exciting and fun to watch, though it is more fun when you see a bad call made while watching a game in which you have no interest.

All I can say is, these guys aren't making bad calls on purpose (except for NCAA Basketball "Referee" Tim Higgins), and as somebody mentioned, it is a fast-paced game, and it is difficult to gauge what's going on at times.

People complain only after they've seen the EXTRA-SUPER-SLOW-MOTION replay on TV 12,000 times, while the referee has to make the call at full speed. That's all.

The one glaring call that should have been made was the Dump on Malkin.The puck went in the Goal should have counted.It should not have been a penalty shot period.Did the puck cross the line before the whistle??The NHL blew that one!

If they do the best they can, WHY don't they make the same call twice in the same game??? I know it is a fast sport, BUT, if you call it once, it has to be called all the time. Also, calling penalties that are not called except when against certain players is not good as well! Since refs have been bad for years when is the NHL going to make changes that actually make thing better??????????????????????????
