NHL fines Sharks head coach David Quinn for 'conduct demeaning the officials'

The National Hockey League announced on Wednesday evening that they've fined San Jose Sharks head coach David Quinn $25,000 for demeaning conduct towards the officials.

Quinn was not happy during the third period of San Jose's game on Saturday against the Washington Capitals after a penalty was called on Sharks forward Kevin Labanc. He was ejected from the game, but before leaving the bench, he called the official a 'fucking asshole' and a 'fucking joke'.

With his ejection, Quinn became the first NHL head coach tossed from a game in nearly a year after Jon Cooper was given a game misconduct in April 2022.
