Well, just to jump in here with my pet peeve:
 
If an action is a penalty in the first minute of the game, then By God its
still a penalty in the last minute.  The rules do NOT change with the
periods.  I can live with an active referee or a passive one.
Philosophically I like the former better, but the latter typically makes for
a more exciting game.  But what I cannot abide is the ref that calls
everything in the first half of the game, then swallows his whistle at the
end.  And that, my friends, is a valid description of Noeth.  I was not
impressed.
