Perhaps where you'd hide a tree... in a forest. Although most players I
know have their numbers on their sticks, so tracking down the errant twig
among the others behind the bench probably wouldn't have posed too much of
a problem.
 
I think it's probably more likely that Degerman was attempting to swap his
illegally curved stick for one with a legal curve on the bench (I think if
I were playing with an illegal stick, I'd keep a "legal" one around for the
last few minutes of the third period in a close game in case a check was
made).
 
Either that, or Degerman simply hadn't thought ahead as far as what he
would do with the stick after he reached the bench. :)
