"The Chicago Blackhawks' fourth goal of the night was the perfect encapsulation of the New York Islanders' calamitous 4-3 loss on Tuesday night at UBS Arena."
"They said it hit Cal Ritchie. I don't know what that was about, Ritchie said when asked by amNewYork. I wasn't even near the play."
"It was bad timing for us, Roy said. It's unfortunate, but it's part of the game, I guess."
"The officiating squad... claimed that Ritchie, who was nowhere near the puck, touched it to nullify the icing."
The New York Islanders suffered a 4-3 defeat against the Chicago Blackhawks, marked by a controversial non-icing call.

The officials claimed Cal Ritchie touched the puck, nullifying the icing, which frustrated the Islanders. Head coach Patrick Roy confirmed the officials acknowledged their mistake, while captain Anders Lee struggled to contain his frustration over the call.
