Great Moments In Playoff Hockey

Near the tail end of last night's Canucks-Stars Game Six, Dallas captain Brenden Morrow injured his knee when he got tangled up in front of the Vancouver net. It was difficult to tell what happened from the replay, but apparently Morrow thought he had been done wrong.

He hopped on one leg over to the Canucks bench and appeared ready to go into it if necessary to achieve justice. Meanwhile, one of the Canucks on the bench was yapping at him the entire time, no doubt him with names which called his manhood into question. Morrow took a jab at the bench, before deciding that discretion was the better part of valor. From the Hockey News:

Morrow hopped and skated off--putting no pressure on his left foot--with 2:20 left in the game. Before getting off the ice, Morrow stopped in front of the Vancouver bench and threw a punch at Alexandre Burrows, who appeared to slash the Stars captain's left leg only seconds earlier.

"It took every part of me to hold back," said Morrow, who plans to play in Game 7. "I went over there for a reason and talked myself out of it."

Morrow, who was done in the game anyway, was given a 10-minute misconduct penalty. So was Jeff Cowan after the Vancouver left wing got involved in the fracas with Burrows.

Game Seven is tomorrrow night in Vancouver and it should be a fiesty affair. Will the Canucks choke away another 3-1 series lead? I certainly hope so.
