EDMONTON, Alberta — David Quinn didn’t really want to get into it, but he already let his displeasure be known.
The Rangers coach was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct after he lambasted the woeful officiating crew of Chris Schlenker and Ian Walsh during the Blueshirts’ dramatic 7-5 loss to the Oilers on Tuesday night. It started when Ryan Lindgren got into a tussle with Jujhar Khaira, and Lindgren was called for an extra slash after the whistle.
The Rangers were trying to come back from a 3-0 deficit, and when Leon Draisaitl scored his 23rd of the season on the ensuing power play, Quinn had it.
