Fans Are Calling For Punishment to be Handed out to Goaltender Who Lost His Cool

The battle of goaltender and player for space in the crease, can at the best of times be chippy and profanity filled.

Once in a while, however, the goalie or player loses their cool, resulting in penalties being dished out. Such is the exact case with Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson.

Gibson lost his cool during a sequence against the Detroit Red Wings, resulting in him cross checking Adam Erne in the back of the head.

The pair jawed back-and-forth, before Gibson cross checked Erne just before the referee blew his whistle.

Gibson received a two-minute minor for elbowing and an additional two-minute minor for roughing, while Erne was assessed a two-minute minor for slashing. The ensuing power play resulted in Red Wings forward David Perron potting a tally on the pp to pull ahead 2-1.
