Ducks coach Cronin fined $25K for unprofessional conduct toward officials

Anaheim Ducks head coach Greg Cronin has been fined $25,000 for unprofessional conduct toward the officials during Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Cronin received a game misconduct for arguing with the referees about a disallowed goal.

Anaheim still came out with a 4-3 victory after Mason McTavish potted the winner in the waning seconds of the third period.

Cronin is an early contender for the Jack Adams Award, as the youthful Ducks are off to a surprising 6-4-0 start to the campaign despite finishing last in the NHL a year ago. Cronin was hired in June after spending the last five seasons as the head coach of the AHL's Colorado Eagles.
