Sheldon Keefe has earned a bit of a reputation as a verbal coach, as he was thrown out of the game on Tuesday night against the Vegas Golden Knights for yelling at officials after a questionable call in the final few minutes. What he said not only got him tossed but now the NHL is fining him $25 thousand for misconduct.
The NHL continues to take steps to shelter its officials, as they have some of the strictest enforcements for fines if officials are called out after games. Now, it looks like they are even willing to fine coaches for what they say during games as well.
