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.

I did watch thanks, and his lack of a stick allowed the Pens to push down into a 5 on 3 press, and eventually a goal.
That play was multiple times longer than it would have taken him to get a stick.
The one thing you were right about is that it wasn't even close.
