100% that was a straight red. I didn't want to complain about the ref, because I do think that Ottawa was the better team and they deserved the win. That said, that was a clear red. I also thought that there was a second yellow on Salter at one point, and that was also clear (basically a cynical foul, and that sucks that it would be a second yellow, but such is life).
I also thought that there was a run where the ref just called everything against the Cavs, and it just seemed ridiculous. Like foul after foul against Cavalry for things that he was largely letting go earlier in the match.
None of those things directly led to Ottawa's goals or win, and I hesitate even to bring them up because the brain-dead defending on the extra-time goal is what it is. You can't let that happen to you when just a minute before, they effectively tried the same thing!
