The more I watch that play(tying goal), the more I think it was worth the risk of a challenge.

The guy gets pushed into rittich but he also gives him a little forearm shiver and rittich never really gets set afterwards to face the final shot. I think it’s 50-50 from a review.

But to me, 50:50 chance of winning in regulation and being four points up on Nashville is good enough odds. The challenge falls and they still have a chance to kill off a 4on3 PP.

Easy to say from my couch, but I can’t help shake that feeling after watching that forearm over and over.
