"Kuhlman gets hit from behind and our guy [Ritchie] goes to attend to the situation and we know what happens next..." Bruce Cassidy.

More from Cassidy: "The discipline was nothing then it turned into a 5-minute major...I didn& #39;t agree with the call. Kuhlman got hit on a very, very, very similar play in the first."

Cassidy also said Yanni Gourde was "clever" to put Tampa on the power play. Also noted he "finished the game with no problem."

"He& #39;s playing through a check, shoulder to shoulder, and it happens all the time. He finished through the shoulder."

Also thought Ritchie was physical and not reckless.
