BREAKING: Gary Bettman Fines Head Coach $25,000
Gary Bettman and the NHL have fined a head coach thousands for berating officials.
Cronin Fined $25,000
In a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, there was a questionable decision that erased a goal for the Anaheim Ducks. Head coach Greg Cronin was irate and he let the officials have it.
The NHL has now announced that Cronin is getting fined $25,000 for these actions.
Anaheim Ducks head coach Greg Cronin fined $25,000.
It is clear that they want to protect their referees so Cronin's fine was decently heavy. While it will not deter future coaches from berating officials, it establishes grounds that this type of punishment will be handed out.
While the call was clearly atrocious from the referees, Cronin or any other head coach cannot have an outburst like this.
