Koivu just stole Ryan's stick from his hands as he was skating by.
(I still wonder how did Koivu's one hand overpower Ryan's two hand grip)
Penalty probably should have been called there...
If Ryan didn't let go of his stick so easily, easily a holding call.
Perhaps not really about picking up opponent's sticks, but using them in anyway...
even if it's stripped from their hands.
I also believe moving the stick that's been dropped on the ice is a penalty on it's own.
(Someone doublecheck with me on that one). You can pick it up and pass it to your
teammate, but not slide it on along the ice. But there might even be a funny rule about
holding two sticks simutaneously, so I'm not sure.
