NHL investigating Quinn

TORONTO (CP) -- Maple Leafs coach/general manager Pat Quinn is in hot water with the NHL, the Toronto Sun reports.

The league is investigating reports that Quinn went overboard when he berated linesman Scott Driscoll at the end of Saturday's Toronto-Calgary game at the Air Canada Centre.

Quinn was upset that the Flames jumped offside during a neutral-zone faceoff with 4.3 seconds remaining and the Calgary net empty.

The Flames, who were trailing 2-1, busted into the Leafs zone but could not muster a scoring chance before time expired.

The NHL is reviewing video tape from the game which showed Quinn screaming at Driscoll from the Leafs bench after the game.

While Quinn's tirade earned him a gross misconduct and automatic $200 fine, he could face further fines if the NHL rules he verbally abused the official.
