NHL punishes Sharks coach David Quinn for abuse of officials

San Jose Sharks head coach David Quinn is considerably lighter in the wallet this evening.

The National Hockey League has fined him a total of $25,000 for verbal abuse of an official thanks to his outburst on Sunday during his team's 8-3 loss to the Washington Capitals that led to his being ejected from the game.

Take a look at the incident for yourself. While I'm certainly no expert lip reader, it doesn't take a genius to figure out some of the choice words that Quinn had: 

Quinn would later take the high road, expressing remorse for his behavior. 

“I’m embarrassed. You shouldn’t act like that as a coach. I apologized to our team. It’s certainly not how I want to act,” he said. “It’s an emotional game. These refs work hard, they do a good job, and it’s something that should never happen.”
