That's too bad - he's a great competitor.

Stars didn't need that.

What a swift kick to the balls especially given their slow start.

what's up with all these injuries to key players?

[akustyk 84]

I really hoped to see the Stars in WCF this year but this is getting even worse

for them. first they get the Avery pest, then suck big time 20 games into the

season and then lose Morrow who is a huge player when it comes to serious

play...

I hope they'll manage to fight some playoff spot ang get in good shape in April

Stars will miss the playoffs and Turco will be traded.

Injuries happen, and I'm sure they'll pick up the slack with someone. They have a pretty deep roster. Maybe they'll be players at the deadline for a rental.

With the way their season has gone so far, they could be sellers.

Edit: looked at the standings, Damn! I knew they were off to a bad start, but 2nd worst record behind the blues? ouch

damn, that's gonna smart.... Morrow is a hell of a player and given their slow start this may not bode well for a playoff spot.

This has been one crazy season so far. Dallas sucking, Boston ahead of Montreal, Detroit weak at defense, the Southeast division with two teams in the hunt, and as someone mentioned a lot of serious injuries to top-flight players.

Ouch. Given their poor start this doesn't help, and having torn my ACL and MCL personally about 4 years ago, rehab is not fun, and is not quick. I still feel the difference in knee I junked up compared to the one that is fully healthy when I work out or, and I'm no professional athlete.

Hopefully Morrow gets back as soon as he can in a healthy manner.

Still a bit too early in the season. Dallas is only 10 points out of the rank they were last year, with 64 games to go. I don't think they'll keep up this slump, but if they do and it comes around 2-3 months from now with a similar spot in the standings, no doubt they'll do a deadline firesale.

oh, poor Stars... I am sorry. I really like Morrow and admired his energy in the playoffs last season. Here's to a speedy and complete recovery for their Captain.

Season wont be half as much fun without getting to see Morrow play. That really sucks, espicially for Dallas. I dont think they can turn it around now, he's everything to them. Modano has been much better this year, but still doesnt match what Morrow brings. The Stars better watch themselves now though, Avery, Ott and Ribeiro and no Morrow to protect them.

Brendan Morrow is a hell of a player. Dallas just missed the playoffs.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

That's exactly what they did not need. Dallas's board is calling for the swift firing of Tippet and the trade of Turco, who has been horribly mediocre to start this year.
