Blackhawks Coach Appeared To Make An Obscene Gesture Towards Referee

Before giving up the game-winning goal in triple-overtime of their opening-round playoff series against the St. Louis Blues, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville was arguing a call when he appeared to make an obscene gesture towards the officials.
