Josh Morrissey To Face Displiniary Hearing Wednesday
7 years agoWinnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey is set to have a disciplinary hearing over the phone with the NHL Player Safety for the high stick to the head of Eric Staal in Game 4. Morrissey insists he didn't mean to do that and even commented, "Complete accident. .... I'm not a dirty player." Morrissey had an assist on the game-winning goal and four hits in Game 4, which would not have occurred if the call was made and Morrissey was ejected. Unfortunately, the call was missed during the game and many Minnesota fans and even head coach Bruce Boudreau were furious, saying, "that had a definite, definite impact on the whole game." With the Player Safety department cracking down on hits to the head, a suspension could be handed out to Morrissey.
