TAMPA, Fla. -- Police said two Montreal Canadiens players have been arrested outside a Tampa nightclub.




Defenseman Ryan O'Byrne, 23, has been accused of stealing a woman's purse, and 29-year-old right wing Tom Kostopoulos has been charged with resisting an officer, a Tampa police report says.



O'Byrne has been charged with felony grand theft. He was released Monday after posting $2,000 bail. Kostopoulos faces a misdemeanor count of resisting an officer without violence and was freed after posting $500 bail.


What was O'Bryne thinking? Stealing someones purse?

yeah I was wondering about this. Seems a little fishy they'd do that... probably just drunk and being stupid.

Apparently they were hammered, and O'byrne claimed the purse was his girlfriends, but wouldn't tell the cop her name (the cop had her ID).


Seems pretty stupid, and I don't care too much. He's young, and is doing stupid stuff, no different then all of us.

**I have never stole a girls purse**

Here is what I think hapenned

O byrne hammered wanting to get layed
met this chick
she told him to hold her purse while she had to take a pee
O byrn went outside to wait for her
When the cop asked her name,he cracked up under pressure
The dude probably never asked her name
Playa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
