Stolen Stick

Trevor Zegras tried to fib his way out of a penalty for stealing another player’s stick: ‘Nobody was buying’ it

The Anaheim Ducks have quite a history of on-ice thievery when it comes to opposition sticks.

In 2010, Bobby Ryan once famously scored a goal using Mikko Koivu’s stick that he picked up off the ice after Koivu had stolen his. Then in 2013, Corey Perry skated by the Carolina Hurricanes’ bench and yoinked former Capitals winger Alex Semin’s stick straight out of his hands.

Instead, he plucked a twig out of Semin’s hands as the ex-Cap sat on the boards waiting for a shift change.

Semin threw his hands up in Sashalian disbelief.
