Morrow Calls Out Referee

from the Dallas Stars Blog at the Dallas Morning News,
Stars captain Brenden Morrow was interviewed Thursday by Bob and Dan of BaD Radio on 1310-AM The Ticket and had a lot to say.
One of the first points Morrow made was to revisit a questionable roughing penalty called on Stars defenseman Mark Fistric in the first period of a 4-1 loss in Game 1 against the Red Wings. Referee Bill McCreary whistled Fistric for the 2-minute minor for roughing Tomas Holmstrom, giving the Red Wings a 5-on-3 power play that they converted into a Brian Rafalski goal nine seconds after getting the two-man advantage to take a quick 1-0 lead.
“That was a very phantom call,” Morrow said.
Morrow accused McCreary of a retaliation penalty call on Fistric.

Morrow is a punk and should keep his ignorant mouth shut. After the blatant BS call on Datsyuk’s goal (Homers ASS was in the crease???) Morrow really should STFU and take the whipping that they’ll get in Game 5.

McCreary was setting the tone. He was not in the mood to give a cheap shotting, gutless, Dallas team any breaks. He has been around for a long time and could already see what the Stars intent was. That being said, he also wasn’t going to put up with any crap from either side. I can hardly wait for good old McCreary to work another Wings game and call unfair penalties on the whiner, cry baby, Morrow.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Maybe if Morrow was deflecting pucks as effectively on the ice in this series as he’s deflecting attention away from their illegitimate win off it, they wouldn’t be down 3-0 in the series (that wasn’t a typo).

Anyone want to guess who one of the refs will be for game 5?

If Stars fans (and the club, for that matter) are going to start complaining about game 1, they owe it to integrity to admit the massive mistake that occurred in game 4. Just sayin’. Game 1 was a slaughter any way you look at it, so give me a break.

Hmmmm. What a strange time to bring that up. It’s almost like Morrow is begging for a “make-up” call in Detroit on Saturday. But, no, the Stars captain would never do anything like that. Noramll, he’d leave that to his whinny coach.
But, hey, these are extraordinary times so I guess everyone has to step up and be the whiner. Bwaaaa. Bwaaaa.
