When Kostopolous committed to the hit Van Ryn's back was not turned.
Also, if you watch it, it almost looked like Van Ryn was going to continue skating through behind his net. But then, Van Ryn stopped and Kostopolous was too far into his check, and had too much momentum to stop.
As far as suspensions go though, it's a real tough call. I think 3 games was fitting.
You make some really good points but the Leafs still suck :) The hit was dirty and I feel bad for Van Ryn and I think that the 3 game suspension was to lenient.
