Oh he got fined royally, but the next game, all the calls went to the Islanders favor, and they won the game. I don't remember if they won the series but I remember distinctively about that press conference.

Treliving is not the type to bring the media into this, but I imagine he'd be setting up a very long conference call with Don Van Massenhoven (IIRC the referee manager for the ANA-CGY series) over the quality of officiating and 'game managing' that is going on in the first two games.
If Glen is furious enough to mouth off on the officiating during the postgame presser and Treliving is rage-smashing chairs, something will be done to address the situation, but as much of it will be behind the scenes as the Flames can manage.
