Liam, you gotta know that you set that up too much with your "neutral ref". Of course that is the way it should be. But refs apply reputation to players. It's in the rules that way. If someone makes the same gloving foul they can eventually be kicked out for it. The only way that can happen is if the ref is keeping tabs on a player.

When righties and lefties get tangled up, mostly due to body configuration with their stick arms together, the leftie is going to be seen more by the ref as he has more righties to tangle with. Even if it is just reset as an equal puck. But, by the way reffing is done, it follows that the leftie will have the reputation now applied as the one who was involved in these and is more likely to get the boot for the next one.
