Not even close.
3 seconds to leave your zone and your 3 other skaters, from the top of the faceoff circle, to past the redline?L and then back, while the other team collapses down?
That's easily 10 seconds and the dynamics of the opponents PP changes significantly.
If you watched, Ryans presence forced passes around him, as he stayed in shooting lanes.
Ryan abandoning his teammates in the long change on the PK would've increased the chances of the goal significantly.
