During their game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Anaheim Ducks coach Greg Cronin blew up on the officials, and it appears it's going to cost him dearly.
A massive fine
As we all know at this point, any act like this directed towards NHL officials from players, front office staff or coaches won't be tolerated, and the NHL have proven that now.
The NHL has fined #NHLDucks coach Greg Cronin $25,000 for "unprofessional conduct directed at the officials."
He was ejected from Monday's game in Pittsburgh after the Ducks had a goal overturned for goalie interference.

Whether or not Cronin was right in his argument becomes irrelavent when he acts the way he did towards officials, and the NHL appear to be coming down hard on this type of conduct, so if it happens again, the NHL have set a very steep precedent for dealing with it.
