Bobby Ryan Scores With Mikko Koivu's Stick

by BReynolds on Dec 12, 2010 10:37 PM CST

This is, by far, the most bizarre thing I have seen in a hockey game in my life. Mikko Koivu loses his stick, skates over and steals Bobby Ryan's stick. As the battle continues, Ryan picks up Koivu's stick, takes a pass, and pots a goal using Koivu's stick, which just so happens to be the wrong hand on top of it all.

The best part? Bobby Ryan then shows Koivu his own stick. Well done, Mr. Ryan. Well done.

You want to be pissed at Ryan, you really do, but that was just plain awesome. In an intermission interview with FSN, Ryan had this to say:

We got in a battle, and somehow Mikko got my stick. I saw his there so I thought I'd pick it up and entertain myself. Somehow the puck found me.

Well, Bobby, you certainly entertained us, if not yourself. The question still remains, however. Did Ryan give Koivu his stick back?

UPDATE 11:55PM - Bobby Ryan on Twitter:

Wish that was a missed quote. Ouch. Wasn't a taunt btw. Was enjoying my goal and showing perry I can score left handed!

I don't get why Koivu grabbed Ryan's stick instead of his own...

You’d have to ask him. Though, you may want to wait a week or so.

That is insane. How the hell was that not a penalty though?

Honestly, it should have been. Holding the stick should have been called, for sure.

Pretty funny stuff.

At least y’all will be entertained by weirdness like this! LOL I’m not sure who gets called first, Koivu for taking Ryan’s stick? If you allow that, then might as well allow that goal if the stick isn’t broken. This was some major officiating failure though.

I thought it was funny

I’m sad that we lost, but what Mikko did was bizarre and not cool, I liked Ryans reaction, he had the right to. I hope we win next one.

According to my friends: I talk about hockey way too much.

What’s up with Mikko? Grabbing another players stick right out of his hands? Serves him right Ryan got a goal, I would gloat too. Bad Play Mikko, bad play.
