NHL fines Blackhawks’ Quenneville
The NHL has fined Chicago Blackhawks Coach Joel Quenneville $10,000 for harsh criticism of officiating in his team’s loss to Detroit in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.
Quenneville fumed over a roughing call against defenseman Matt Walker as the first period ended Sunday.
“I think we witnessed probably the worst call in the history of sports there,” Quenneville said after the game. “Nothing play.
” . . . They ruined a good hockey game and absolutely destroyed what was going on the ice. . . . Never seen anything like it.”
The Blackhawks will try to avoid elimination Wednesday in Detroit.
In the Eastern Conference, Pittsburgh will try to complete a sweep of Carolina tonight.
