This was a game where they trailed 3-0, for openers. They were perfectly capable of losing it for themselves.

The play itself, Ryan has stick and he gives kind of an awkward shot there. Could it have been elbowing? Yes. Did he clock him with it? No, it wasn't a big enough to deal even phase anyone. The retaliation gets seen and when you throw a punch, it definitely gets seen.

Obviously they could have killed the penalty, too. They make a bad change there and give two skilled players a lot of room and time to do their thing.

Ottawa was the better team yesterday. Game 4 is big for Boston; I still think this goes the distance.
