Tippett calls out Mo, Morrison

Dave Tippett was talking about power plays and the lack of execution in the second period when he turned his attention to his centers, namely Mike Modano and Brendan Morrison. Tippett was unhappy with the performance, or lack thereof from both of them on Sunday, and he made his feelings known:
    "If we don’t get something out of Modano and Morrison soon, there’s trouble for us. These two guys, they need to lead a line to get some goals. There’s nothing there right now."
    He added more later:
    "There are some people really giving effort, but it’s what you do after effort. We talk about it all the time. When you have the ability to make plays and make people around you better, you better do that, because it makes our team better. it makes our team better."
    We all saw the game... do you agree with Tippett's assessment?

i agree and I say that nobody played well tonight, I should ask for a refund

Wouldn't hurt to crash the net either. I'm fed up with watching slow, deliberate passing on the perimeter. Shot the puck, get rebounds and score ugly goals.

I disagree with Oliver, I think Steve Ott played his heart out and a few others had some work ethic, but I was expecting more out of Modano. Earlier this season during our first round of devestating injuries Mo stepped up and scored some pretty important goals at key moments and that's not happening for him now. I also agree with cowtown that we need more pucks at the net and get the ugly goals...too much trying to make the perfect pass/play.
