POV[edit]

I've tagged this article with a POV tag. In reading it, the whole thing seems full of glowing (and unsourced) praise of Morrow. I'm aware that he is, in fact, considered to be a great hockey player, but the lines:

Morrow could be one of the most underrated defencemen in hockey history. Morrow's defensive positioning was technically perfect, his physicality was under-appreciated, and his overall hockey intelligence was astounding. Morrow was also extremely tough.

seem to me to be a little much.

I'd go to the trouble of editing this page, but don't know enough about Morrow to do so. I figure there have to be a number of editors who are more familiar with the subject than I am. Tstreet (talk) 20:57, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the wording to

Morrow could be one of the most underrated defencemen of his era. Morrow's defensive positioning was outstanding, his physicality was under-appreciated, and his overall hockey intelligence was exceptional.

I feel comfortable that this is a much more accurate wording. I do not know how to take off the header saying the article is being disputed though.

As a giant hockey fan ( and a Rangers fan in particular ) I feel the change from "of all time" to "of his era" as well as the slight change loss of the word "astounding" to "exceptional" is fair.
