Morrow on Ott suspension

Stars captain Brenden Morrow was NHL Live earlier today, and he was asked about the Steve Ott suspension. Here’s what he had to say:

I actually haven’t seen the hit. I am going to defend my teammate just because I am loyal to him. From what I saw, in my opinion, this last week that didn’t get suspensions, I was surprised that Steve was the one. I know there are issues with repeat offenders and I haven’t seen what their reasoning for it was, if was a low hit. A few of us were talking and we thought the hit on [B.J.] Crombeen may have been the worse of the two. Seeing the [Rob] Scuderi hit and replays of the [Mike] Richards hit and all those things that kind of got passed by, to see Steve get the worst of it is disappointing for me as a teammate. ... We feel for Steve. He shows up and plays hard for us. He’s ended up on the worse side of a few of these calls in the past.
