BREAKING NEWS: Gary Bettman Punishes NHL Organization With $25,000 Fine Over Serious Actions
Anaheim Ducks' head coach, Greg Cronin, faces a massive fine following his ejection during a recent game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The ejection stemmed from unsportsmanlike behavior linked to a disallowed goal due to goaltender interference.
As the week progressed, the NHL imposed a $25,000 fine on Cronin for
"unprofessional conduct directed at the officials."
The fine will be directed to the NHL Foundation in line with league regulations.
NHL issues a statement on coaches punishment
''Anaheim Ducks coach Greg Cronin has been fined $25,000 for unprofessional conduct directed at the officials that resulted in a game misconduct at 19:25 of the second period of NHL Game No. 132 on Monday, October 30, the National Hockey League announced today.
The fine money goes to the NHL Foundation.''
The chain of events leading to Cronin's ejection began with a disallowed goal due to goalie interference. Despite a challenge, video review upheld the decision, triggering Cronin's emotional response and his ejection. The Ducks were already serving a two-minute minor penalty for a delay of game after an unsuccessful coaches' challenge.
The Ducks secured a 4-3 comeback win during regulation play. However, the Ducks ultimately took the loss as the incident led to a $25,000 fine for Cronin due to his conduct during the game.
