I think they should call the game closer. The trend is more physical. You hear the coaches exhorting their team to play with more intensity etc. I have seen tons of crosses to the head or extended cross checks to the back that really need to be called. I would say the refs should call super tight games in the regular season and loosen up in the playoffs a bit. Direct check to the head should be red. Players would adjust to the quicker whistle and quick cards for extended cross checks. The balance between skill/ speed and "toughness" has skewed to much to favor the tough, physical, and borderline dirty play in my opinion. We do not want to become long island style lacrosse.
