Arthur and Robby discuss Bobby Ryan's skate stomp.
ARTHUR:Two early Predators penalties put the Ducks on top by a pair, two third period penalties to the Ducks almost put the game back into Nashville's hands, but ultimately, Anaheim skated off...
We said the most important factor for the Nashville Predators in this series was to keep the play 5-on-5 and avoid penalties, and not following that advice is what cost them the victory tonight in Anaheim.
Bobby Ryan stomped on Jon Blum's foot with the blade of his skate. Chris Pronger got suspended for the same thing in 2008.
With the Nashville Predators down 2-0 in the first period tonight in Anaheim, one of the critical turning points came when an apparent power play goal for the Preds was not only waved off by the officials, but David Legwand went into the box for goaltender interference
