The real winner in that case is the Department of Player Safety.
Well, I think in Roy's first game as a coach he almost broke shook the glass out of the boards he was so incensed at the opposing coach and yet he still won. I'm not sure who votes on this but I don't think Player Safety would have much pull in it. Plus, if this was voted on before the playoffs it would have been before his most recent fine.
