Tyler Bertuzzi sends defender's stick flying before brilliant goal

It was probably slashing, but, whatever.

Tyler Bertuzzi put a new spin on playing the man and not the puck at Detroit Red Wings development camp, abusing his defender by knocking the stick out of his hands - literally - before scoring on his backhand.

The prospect was even polite enough to send the discarded stick back into the slot, so it could be more easily retrieved. Never forget your manners, kids.
