Nhl fines quinn 10,000 for inappropriate comments
Quote:
Edmonton Oilers head coach Pat Quinn's comments about Jarome Iginla's hit on Sheldon Souray on Thursday night has cost him.

The NHL announced on Friday that Quinn was fined $10,000 for inappropriate public comments.

"We have been made aware of the league's decision, accept it and have no further comment," said Oilers' general manager Steve Tambellini.

Souray was helped off the ice early in the second period after being tripped into the boards by Iginla. Souray suffered a mild concussion on the play, while Iginla only served a tripping minor.

After the game, Quinn lashed out at the play and the league.

"I don't understand the players of today," Quinn said on Thursday. "If that had happened in the old days he would have got hit over the head with a stick right after. It was a pretty dirty play in my opinion. He poked his feet out and then piled on top of him. Somehow they never deal with that crap and they won't let the vigilante stuff happen to deal with it. It's disappointing."

The NHL's senior executive vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell did not agree with Quinn's assertions.

"Mr. Quinn's comments were inappropriate and without justification," Campbell said in a release.

I wonder what the fine would be if it was Burke making it in Toronto?

Look what happens when you say something bad about good ol' Iggy, who would never do anything dirty or bad! Quinn was really put in his place here - hope you learned a lesson Pat - never say anything bad about Iggy!

Probably just frustrated his team lost to the Flames twice in one week in their own barn.

You can expect my donation to the Pat Quinn opened his mouth fund...

I guess that's what you get for calling it like it is...

Quinn is the man. Quinn should be brought back to Toronto. Imagine Quinn and Burkie running the show.

**** the new NHL.

Pat Quinn comes from the old school that existed long before they rebuilt the new old school from back in the day. Good thing Quinn was a Irishman in Boston. That's the only thing that saved his hide after he elbowed and KOed Bobby Orr!

Any reference to "the old days" is an automatic fine in Bettmans eyes!

Good for Quinn. It's nice for the tools in the NHL office to get a reminder of what hockey should be.

Although I disagree that it was intentional I agree with everything else Quinn had to say. It's pretty stupid he gets fined for saying something so logical. I'm with Quinn on this one.
