I was disappointed in that penalty. ... He made a mistake. He threw a rabbit punch in the pile. He was frustrated and he lost poise, and you can't do that.

The ref said I threw a punch, but I didn't throw a punch,

The referee said (Fisher) threw a punch. It's a bonehead move if he did it. I didn't see it.

Zach sort of threw out his hand and didn't fully shake. I have never seen a penalty like that in my 25 years of coaching. We take a lot of pride in our sportsmanship, and Zach felt bad afterwards. I always tell my players that you get 50 percent of the calls and you lose 50 percent of the calls. It is just up to us to make sure the match is not decided by the referees.

He threw a punch at the everyman, at the typical Russell Crowe fan -- he really crossed the line.

It's amazing we didn't have a 10- to 30-car pile-up. ... It could have been a catastrophic occurrence.
