Blues forward Ryan Reaves was already in the penalty box for delay of game and another penalty would have given Chicago a 5-on-3 power play.
The incident was caught on camera and now the Blackhawks coach is apologizing for his bad behavior.
Quenneville said on Friday:
“I was definitely excited, disappointed [in] the call, but I’ll apologize for my behavior.”
“It wasn’t appropriate at all. It was a bush-league move on my part.”
