Agree with all of that rant, and while we are chastising referees, allow me to vent also..

I get pulled up all the time for gloving, when actually I am playing the stick with a vertical stick, usually moving it to my left (I am right handed). This is almost always by the ref behind me and to my right... simply because my glove is between his eyes and the puck, even though I am playing the puck with my stick.
