Joel Quenneville had some choice words about the officiating in Game 4 between his Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings. Unfortunately, the NHL didn’t see eye-to-eye with the coach and his actions ended up costing him $10,000USD. 
His offence? After a roughing call against defenceman Matt Walker as the first period ended, Detroit scored and extended their lead to 3-0 (they ended up winning the game with a final score of 6-1 and have taken a 3-1 series lead).
After the game, coach Quenneville said: "I think we witnessed probably the worst call in the history of sports there. Nothing play. You know, they scored, it’s 3-0. They ruined a good hockey game and absolutely destroyed what was going on the ice. … Never seen anything like it."
I have to agree with him. I did not agree with that call and I think it really changed the dynamics of the game. It’s too bad. The Blackhawks will try to stave off elimination in Game 5 on Wednesday in Detroit.
