Brenden Morrow Wipes Out Anze Kopitar

The Stars and Kings played a hard-fought game last night. Even if there wasn't a fight, you'd still say the game had a lot of fight to it. With hard checking and back & forth scoring, it was an entertaining finale on a night with many NHL games.

A play being reviewed again and again is Brenden Morrow's hit on Anze Kopitar. It was a clean, hard hit, but Kopitar hit the boards awkwardly and remained down for a while. Mike Richards flew in to challenge Morrow for the hit. The fight didn't amount to much other than Richards being given the gate.

Greg Wyshynski posted a tweet from Richards that no longer seems to be available:

It's not the first time we've seen this complaint. Jarome Iginla's made it before (something I've mentioned before but cannot find the original source), and so have other higher profile players who are encouraged to wear visors more than their third and fourth-line teammates.
