What's up with the referees?

Are the San Jose referees always like this?

I'm happy with the Canucks winning but there are a crap load of calls right now, just let them playing even strength.

    The first two were discretionary calls, and correct ones. The next two = Too Many Men and Delay of Game (puck over glass) are non discretionary, meaning the referee can't just "let it go".

    Beyond that, all referees are NHL referees. No team has "home officials". The NHL will usually assign Linesmen to "home regions" to cut down on travel, and to keep them closer to home - but Referees are spread league-wide.

    What do you mean by "San Jose referees"?

    They are NHL referees and not one team claims them.

    I understand there have been a lot of calls but to be crying about them after your team had 3 consecutive 5 on 3's all which have collectively resulted in a 3-0 lead in the game is a bit crazy if you ask me.
