Josh Morrissey To Have Hearing With Department Of Player Safety

April 18, 2018 at 10:51 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 7 Comments

Many people were wondering whether Josh Morrissey would face any supplementary discipline for his cross-check on Minnesota’s Eric Staal last night, and the league has now announced that he’ll have a phone hearing later today. That means the Winnipeg Jets could be without another hugely important defender for Game 5, while already dealing with injuries on the back end.

Morrissey appeared to cross-check Staal right in the face during a penalty kill in the first period. Staal immediately went to the bench, and no penalty was called on the play. After the game, Minnesota head coach Bruce Boudreau claimed the non-call cost the Wild the game. Not only would it have been a 5-on-3 powerplay, but Boudreau believes Morrissey should have been thrown out of the game.

With Tyler Myers nursing an injury, and Toby Enstrom not ready to return, the Jets could be scrambling for a replacement on the blue line should Morrissey be given a suspension. Sami Niku, who was recalled as an insurance policy for Game 4, was returned today to the Manitoba Moose. He likely would be the first option if Morrissey can’t go, which puts a lot of pressure on the rookie.

    A dirty play and refs not seeing it…aside… As a head coach saying that you lost the game from 1 play out of a whole 60 minutes?? When you were unable to score at any moment in that game? Really reaching, and masking the true reasoning behind the loss. Nice deflection and putting blame somewhere coach!! Haha

      The Jets scored about a minute later when they should have been on the PK. Morrissey assisted on the goal and also had a few huge plays later in the game. Jets would have had 5 defenseman for the remainder of the game. It very likely cost the wild the game.

    I know what you’re saying…and I get the gist of it lol. But for a coach to give his team an out like that?? We lost because a guy in stripes missed a call? It’s not your fault, it’s his…so don’t worry about it lol. My hockey sense says…he didn’t have an excuse for the other games they lost…but I guess this one he did lol. (Shaking head)

    After the series…he’s gonna use the point of losing Suter, and needing to over play Dumba. That’s fine and dandy. Good coaches always know how to deflect the point that they just got beaten by a better team lol.

    Well yeah!! My Hockeysense was way off on the fact that it was the refs fault that Minnesota couldn’t score for over 7 periods? My deepest apologies there Boudreau…
