Frsutrations boiled over for Detroit Red Wings bench boss Derek Lalonde on Tuesday night against the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins, and thanks to whatever it was that he said against the on-ice referee, he was removed from the game and assessed his first career ejection.
The game misconduct game not long after Penguins forward Jeff Carter was ruled to have legally scored a goal, and it withstood a challenge from Detroit for goaltender interference:
Red Wings assistant coach Bob Boughner would take over as acting head coach for the remainder of the game, an eventual 7-4 Red Wings victory.
Lalonde becomes the 2nd NHL bench boss to get the gate during a game this season, following San Jose Sharks head coach David Quinn earlier in the year.
