Pat Quinn, head coach of the Edmonton Oilers, has been fined $10,000 for inappropriate public comments made following Thursday night’s game against the Calgary Flames, the NHL announced Friday.
“Mr. Quinn’s comments were inappropriate and without justification,” said NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell.
The money goes to the NHL Foundation.
Quinn’s comments concerned an incident between the Oilers’ Sheldon Souray and the Flames’ Jarome Iginla that took place 18 seconds into the second period when Souray crashed into the boards after being tripped by Iginla, who spilled on top of the Oiler defenseman.

These are the kinds of things that keep hockey people boring. Let them say what’s really on their mind. Maybe a general kid friendly ‘please don’t swear’ policy and be done with it. Too many freaking cliches running around.
Babbles, for instance, used the phrase “skate to the throat” a couple of seasons ago. We never hear anything like that anymore, and he certainly won’t be able to say anything interesting with Team Canada.

So, you can tamper with another teams players and get fined 25k, but if you complain about a dirty hit you get fined 10?
The NHL continues to be run by idiots.
