Immediately after the game Sheldon Keefe was asked about his ejection. He decided to give an answer while not saying much at all.
"Not going there, not going there," he answered when pressed.
He would go on to talk about the powerplay differential and things that led up to the incident where he was ejected.
"Power plays are four to one in the game — that's a factor," Keefe continued. "That's not on the officials. That's part of the way the game goes."

Tyler Bertuzzi is not so convinced the referees weren't at fault.
