Mike Keenan loves him some controversy. Yesterday morning, in preparation for the Canucks match-up with the Calgary Flames, Keenan suggested that Vancouver defenseman Willie Mitchell was using an illegally long stick, which according to the NHL rulebook, can only be 63 inches long…
Fast forward to pre-game warm-ups, and Mitchell decided to have a little fun at the expense of Keenan’s comments: stepping out on to the ice with two shafts taped together for a super-stick that looked about 80 inches long. Or maybe he just borrowed one from Zdeno Chara.
Tangentally related: Ryan Kesler is now on pace for 25 goals and 28 assists.
