NHL Cracking Down On Coaches Yelling At Referees

The NHL has been much more harsh with their treatment of coaches this year. In the past, episodes like this would maybe get a small fine at most. Clearly though, the league is trying to crack down on these instances as they handed Tortorella a hefty 50000 dollar fine as well as a two-game suspension for the tirade.


This is not the first time a coach has been punished like this this season. Tortorella joins a growing list of coaches that have been fined and or suspended this year.



This is not the kind of direction the NHL should be going. If anything, the referees need to be more accountable for their role in these incidents. If that would happen, perhaps coaches wouldn't be as mad all the time. We will just have to wait and see if the league addresses this issue. So far they seem to be moving in the wrong direction.
