The Blackhawks were on a power-play when a puck went over the glass. Quenneville believed the Blues should have been given a delay-of-game penalty which would have given his team a 2-man advantage.

After gesturing several times that the puck went over the glass, Quenneville then reached down and grabbed his groin while still yelling at the referees.
