Quenneville Fined $10,000

[XxGoWingsxX 0]

Even if you didn't like the call, I think the ref was trying to let the Hawks know that any more retaliation for the Kronwall hit will be called before things get out of hand. Any respect I had for Q (hometown guy) is out the window.

lol your name is pricelsss!!!!

[sixer 37]

Should have been suspended for game 5.

[dicksmack 33]

Yes well my friends and I used to call each other and other people "dicksmack" when we were growing up when we meant to call someone a goof or whatever--as you've demonstrated, it gets laughs even now... ps You want to be the smacker, not the smackee...

He probably would have been, had it happened in the 1st round.

No a game misconduct would been sufficient in the 1st round too... Besides, you're just scared Malkin will come down the ice dipsy doodling around somebody and Kronwall or Stuart will f#$@ing bury him!

hahahhahahaha way to rub salt in the cut!!! thats just awsome.

hey "Q" stop ur bitchn

[RockyMountainWingGal 108]

That would help the Hawks more than hurt them.

When you hear most coaches take shots at the officiating, they are very careful not to overstep their bounds "I don't agree with the call" "From our point of view it was not a penalty" "I don't make the calls but I thought it wasn't the right one", etc.

This idiot just comes right out and blurts out "worst call in sports ever" lmao

Just priceless he gets fined too. I can't wait to bounce this joker to the golf course - think he cheats on his strokes? lol Let's go Wings dispatch of this fool please.

Joel Quenneville fined $10,000 for ripping officials

The NHL on Monday fined Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville $10,000 for making public comments critical of the officiating in Sunday's game.

Quenneville called the roughing penalty on Matt Walker at the end of the first period "the worst call in the history of sports.''

"They ruined a good hockey game and absolutely destroyed what was going on, on the ice,'' Quenneville said after the game.

His postgame press conference would make for a funny beer commercial.

hehehe

It's about time! I thought it would have happened in the Ducks series!

[puckloo39 5,686]

Maybe he will have the officials measure Ozzie's goalie stick next game.

God, I hope so!!

[TeeMan 52]

I guess he didn't see Kronwalls Hit in game 3.

[Jwo 7]

The Refs had this too say

Second best Canadian commercial ever

Whats the first best?

[dragonballgtz 273]

About time someone called out the officals. This playoff year they have been really bad in almost every series played.

EDIT: I think its funny that calling out a ref is worth 10k but causing an injury is only 2.5k

I'd like to see a ref get slapped with that kind of fine from time to time. Not really defending Q, but come on. Watson can pull a disphit move like his Hossa non-call and get off scotch free, but if someone says something negative about officiating that someone has to cough up $10,000? Hurray for double standards.

[Lovin Jiri Fischer 147]

Icing on the cake

[theman19 47]

seriously, after game four he comes out and says this

How'd that go after game three?

I pretty much agree.

I guess it's the manner in which he said it. He said "worst call in sports" in a post game interview and that it ruined the game. That probably scares owners and s*** about anarchy and seceding from the NHL or something. Opens up a can of worms I guess. Comcast makes $34.3 billion a year so like, that scares Comcast. But they should make the reasons why they fined him public. They just say he was fined for what he said but don't give reasons why what he said was wrong. I mean, It's not immediately obvious. Which kind of indicates that yeah, the reffing does suck and they don't want many people to know about it.

This isn't his first time where he's crossed the path (as well as the ire) of the officials. This time, though, it cost him big bucks. I can remember when he was with the Blues, and the game got pretty well out of hand when the Blues players went after us (that's the game when Joe Kocur got tossed for throwing the chair - remember that gem?). So this isn't the first time he's tried to bully people around and then been called on the carpet for some pretty shabby behavior. And I'm sure it won't be the last. At least when Mike Babcock doesn't like the calls, he's either subtle about it, or he keeps his mouth shut as well as his wallet.

Sweet. I think I remember that now. That was awesome.

watson didnt make it to the conference finals or the stanley cup finals, which means less games reffed which means less money made. id say thats really close to getting slapped with a fine.

[The Winged Wheel 0]

Didn't hear him say anything after game 3... oh wait.

[Dabura 12,232]

I look at that more as sweeping a problem under the rug. "Nothing to see here," that kind of thing.

Do I think a fine is warranted against any of the refs the Wings have had to deal with in this run? Eh, not really. But there's absolutely a double standard at work, and it frustrates me to no end. I understand that sticking by the officials is "good business," but...at what point does it become bad business?

Again, though: not defending Q.
