Instead, he decided to move the faceoff OUTSIDE OF THE OFFENSIVE ZONE TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE SLASH!!!!

Sounds to me like you got a break. A faceoff outside the zone is much better than a man down and the faceoff outside the zone, which is what you should have gotten.

I guess you're one of the many that feels that a ref should always see the penalties against you, just never the ones you commit.
I play in a men's league and ref there also. Men's league games have the worst babies and the least skill and ***** the most. Letting a few marginal calls go for the sake of keeping the game moving is not uncommon, but neither is missing an occasional slash or high stick, the refs don't see everything. If you don't like the reffing, write to the local ref-in-chief, get over the calls, or quit. It's part of the game, like it or not.
