Trent Yawney has been the head coach of the rebuilding Chicago Blackhawks for only six games and already he has a bone to pick with National Hockey League referees. "The [penalties] that are justified, I have no problem with," Yawney said before last night's game against the Vancouver Canucks. "The ones that are putting teams down by two men that are not justified, with the two-referee system, I do have a problem with. It does affect the end result." "I refer to baseball because now we've got the World Series [coming up]," he said. "If one umpire's strike zone is this big and the other one's is that big, it's pretty hard for the guys to adjust in mid-stream. "That's where the consistency factor comes in. There has to be more [communication] from the referees to the players and the coaches."
