NHL has shity refs

Ok why does the NHL have referees? I mean they don't use them at all, i mean the refs in the NBA prevent players from getting into fight. If the players in the NHL get into fights the refs don't give a shit. Is the NHL trying to be like boxing on ice cause thats what every game looks like, every time i watch a game there is a fight. Does the NHL want to lose all their players. Hey if your gonna at least let the players kill themselves then you shout suspend them for a game or two not put them in a little penalty box. The officials act all surprised when a players breaks another players neck but guess what its your fault because the refs in the NHL don't do shit.
