The league punished Roy for his outburst with a $10,000 fine on Thursday and a reminder that this sort of behaviour won't be tolerated.
"Roy's actions at the conclusion of the game were irresponsible," said Colin Campbell, NHL senior executive vice-president of hockey operations. "One of the responsibilities of an NHL coach is to help diffuse volatile situations on the bench."
What set the Hall of Fame goalie off was a knee-to-knee hit between rookie Nathan MacKinnon and Ducks defenceman Ben Lovejoy late in the game. Roy thought Lovejoy's hit was unnecessary and could've been avoided.
"I guess I have to change a few things. I got the $10,000 fine by the league for that," Roy said after practice. "I understand it now. At the same time, I will always defend my players."
And that's appreciated.
