Derek Lalonde EJECTED after FREAKING OUT on the officials
Last night, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Detroit Red Wings are engaged in a thrilling Eastern Conference matchup. With the Penguins fighting to retain their wildcard spot and the Red Wings' season practically over, both teams are pushing themselves to the limit. However, despite the Red Wings' disappointing season, their head coach remained committed to handling the situation with professionalism and integrity.
During the first period, the Red Wings took an impressive 3-0 lead, showcasing their skill and determination on the ice. However, the second period proved to be a turning point in the game. After the Penguins managed to push a puck across the goal line, the Red Wings challenged the call, believing there was goalie interference on the play. After a thorough review, the officials determined that there was no interference and the goal was counted.
In response to this decision, the Red Wings' head coach, Lalonde, became visibly upset, losing his temper and confronting the officials. Despite warnings from the referees, Lalonde continued to argue, ultimately resulting in his ejection from the game. With their head coach out of the game, the Red Wings faced an uphill battle in the third period.
