Re: NHL Rules Question (Sabres-Flyers)
[ QUOTE ]
A skater can certainly retrieve the goalie stick, but he can not use the goalie stick. It would be a minor penalty. (using an illegal stick?)

Of course; the NHL rules explicitly set out limits for the size of player sticks, and separate rules for the size of goalie sticks.
Therefore, a player playing with a goalie stick would still be judged relative to the player stick standard and would obviously be called for using an illegal stick.
