It was a bad call. I'll agree with that. Rasmus Ristolainen had his stick knocked out of his hands, and he never wrapped his arm around Brad Marchand. However, it was the culmination of a horrid shift for Ristolainen, who gave the puck away twice on the three-on-three. It's not what we've become used to from the Sabres' top defenseman.
None-the-less, the ref decided to call the penalty shot, and Marchand beat Robin Lehner easily on the breakaway as the Bruins defeated the Sabres 2-1 in the shootout. Lehner understandably gave the ref his trademark crazy eyes, and even threw his mask onto the ice.
