Lining up on a faceoff at center ice RIGHT after your team got scored on to go down one and crosschecking the guy you're lined up against not once but twice before the puck is dropped is hardnosed or playing with pace?
I'd call it playing stupid and selfish.
There is no doubt Ward is kicking himself for putting that line out after the goal. This is exactly why every coach that Sam Bennett has had doesn't trust him with more minutes.
