Changes for the 08-09 season?

As most dedicated hockey fans saw last season, the officiating throughout the NHL was very inconsistent. Even more importantly, it was inconsistent during the play-offs. Goaltender interference could arguably be one of the most inconsistent calls made. Will this problem be solved during the 08-09 season? Let's hope so. What is more frustrating that an obvious call that was not made? Not only is frustrating to fans but it is obviously frustrating to players and coaches as well. As we all know one missed call or bad call can change the dynamic of the game. This season is the 91st season of the NHL...and where would us hockey nuts be without this amazing sport? Not yelling at the refs...telling them exactly what we think of that ridiculous call through our television set, even though they can't hear us, nor would they care if they could...thats for sure. This season will also be the fist season since the lockout that every team will play each other at least once. So for all you fans who want a rematch, you'll get it. For all you players who have something to prove, now would be the time. It should be an intense and interesting season to say the least, eh?
