For that year??

[edit] The 2008 World Championships

First of all, I don't see any encyclopedic reason why the hit on Alexey Morozov even needs to be mentioned. If the World Championships should be mentioned at all, it should be because it was Murray's first international tournament. The hit on Morozov could be mentioned as an anectode, but like I said, I don't think there's an encyclopedic reason to mention it.

Second of all, Morozov did not get a concussion. He was said to have concussion like symptoms, but if he had gotten a concussion, he wouldn't have played against Switzerland two days later. See lineup-link.[1]

Maybe the section should be more focused on him, as in:

Murray made his first international start for Sweden during the 2008 IIHF World Championships against Denmark on May 8th 2008. In his second game of the tournament, against Russia, he was ejected from the game and assessed a one-game suspension after hitting Russia's Alexey Morozov.

..or something similar.

I agree, your suggested text is ok by me, although I'm not sure "ejected" is the correct word. And I didn't write the info on Murray's body check against the Russian, I just copy edited it a bit. LarRan (talk) 18:22, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
