Zegras gets an illegal stick penalty for stealing an opponent’s stick

[jonu]

Ah yes, toxically masculine when I'm indirectly defending the guy known for pulling Michigans and alley oop passes in the NHL (which I have no problem with). Toxically masculine would've been suggesting Zegras relive the Beagle situation over again, which was also bullshit from the Coyotes. Kiviranta got the better outcome of the situation with the penalty drawn, good on him, but you shouldn't be letting someone take your stick from you.

Zegras being the one doing michigans is beyond the point.

The fact that someone tries to steal your stick is so uncommon that I'm sure the one being stolen from is so baffled by the absurdity of a beer league thing happening in the NHL that he just lets it happen.

He looked like he felt dumb just trying to explain it. Moments like this are a reminder that these guys are barely older than teenagers.

Yeah it reminds me of my lil bro trying to BS his way out of trouble lol

It was dumb, but a harmless penalty. There's literally no chance if injury, which you can't say about most other penalties. It's better he does this type of stuff when the team is bad and use it as teaching moments so he out grows it by the time they're good. Dumb penalties don't hurt a bottom 3 team.

The absurdity of it is for sure a good point. I’d almost expect it to happen in some of the beer leagues I’ve been in haha.

The interview is pretty funny. I admit, his fun personality is quite refreshing. Just hope he continues to improve as he matures.

Peter Stastny likely feels slightly vindicated. I can't find the video at the moment, but it reminds me of the time his stick got stolen and he went into the opponents bench to try and retrieve it. He got a penalty for his efforts lol.

Not Even Some My-Sticking Helps Kings

At least give the Kings points for inventiveness.

It was Brian Benning that stole it! You can see it at the 16 minute mark in this

So there have been a handful of these in the past, but this looks by far and away the most blatantly intentional. Dunno how he expected to get away with this.

Hoping the ref didn’t see with everything going on I guess lol

I knew it was on a Rock em Sock em. Thanks for finding it lol.

It's one thing to take another guy's stick that's loosely gripping it or took yours so you score with his - but to rip a stick out of a guy's hands like that ridiculous, should've been a major.

comedy

Hilarious.

Dallas player shoulda just laid him out though.

I mean yeah. For the most part Trevor has the demeanor and attitude of a kid in a candy store...or playing Call of Duty. but being able to admit his faults and poke fun at himself with the same breath is a solid quality that many don't have.

 

[Nuusku]

That's an issue I'm currently dealing with my toddler. I think he's starting to get it. Not sure if it's too late for Trevor though.

 

[GreatSaveLuongo]

Why is this illegal?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

TBH this interview saves a lot of face for him, at least in my eyes. Sure he did a dumb thing and told a very dumb lie, but he also has the self awareness to laugh at his own stupidity.

Definitely a stoner lol
