NHL head coach gets ejected after heated exchange with refs
Tensions ran high in Anaheim as head coach Greg Cronin was unceremoniously ejected from the game after an intense no-goal call due to goaltender interference.
The Ducks were locked in a tight matchup, and a potential game-changer was denied, leading to a fiery outburst from Coach Cronin.
The controversial call occurred when the Ducks were pushing for a crucial goal in the final minutes of the second period.
However, the joy turned to dismay as the officials huddled and determined that a Ducks player Sam Carrick had interfered with the opposing goaltender before the goal.
Coach Cronin vehemently disagreed with the call, expressing his frustration with the referees. The ensuing argument escalated, and Cronin found himself ejected from the game, leaving his team without their leader.
The no-goal decision remained intact, and the Ducks were left with a bitter taste of what might have been in a contentious contest.
