So, then why did Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher get a penalty for "abuse of officials" last night when he made a face—a face!—at a referee after the Lightning got called for two consecutive penalties on the ice? Really, guys? A guy got penalized for making a face? A FACE?!?!? SMH. This is further proof of why we're not really checking for the NHL right now.
