Doggy

I third that. He's so confident with the puck. You can tell he wants it too.

Yeah, he'll be saying that a lot this series.

Turco has played great after looking shaky in the first. Props to him.

Nice stuff by Hank there to draw the PP.

God I love to see kids like Helm out there reassuring the future for us. He's gonna be great.

We're already in Turco's head. He's missed 3 long range shots so far, one was tipped wide, one hit the post and one went in. We will win this series.

Tuuuuuurrrrrrco.... Tuuuuuurrrrrrco.... Tuuuuuurrrrrrco.... Tuuuuuurrrrrrco.... Tuuuuuurrrrrrco.... Tuuuuuurrrrrrco....

I didn't realise Karen Newman was... uh... so well endowed.

If this guy is so good then why is ice time such an issue? Can't he just earn his way to more minutes like all other players in the league? Either way, if this dude wants individual success more than team success then I definitely don't want him in D-Town.

Yeah, I also don't think it's unfair to say we were manhandled in that series. It doesn't mean we were dominated. It doesn't mean we deserved to lose. It means we were manhandled. By a bigger, stronger, tougher, more gritty team. They manhandled pretty much every team they played. That plus guys like Selanne, Needapenis, McDonald, Getzlaf and so on = Cup.

They should only let him go if they have a good replacement but that's just common sense. Q isn't the world's worst coach. Wings fans just don't respect him because Detroit has owned him his whole career.

I've always been under the impression the Victoria Cougars and the Detroit Cougars were seperate entities. If that's the case no.

Look this is annoying me. There should be no ambiguity here. The Toronto Maple Leafs have 13 Cups not 11. End of story. The fact that they've changed their name a few times does not nullify the Cups the organization won as the Arenas and the St. Pats.

Well, it is true. Dave Nonis is still an employee of the Canucks organisation as he is still under contract therefore permission is required. I do agree with your statement on Bob Clarke however. He's too old, the game has passed him by. Wasn't he with Philly for like 40 years or something?

I hate Kara Yorio the most. I've never seen an article written by her that was worth reading. At least everyone else has some semblance of an idea of what hockey is about.

Good. I haven't liked Maurice since the 2002 Cup finals. The guy isn't a good coach. It was a total fluke and he'll never do anything like that ever again.

I also enjoyed this post. Lol. Thanks, awesome stuff.

Brother, if we all just went on games against Detroit, we'd all say Turco is the world's worst goalie. I wasn't intending to be negative, I was just saying Turco is a better goalie than Osgood. Then people had a go at me for saying it so I defended my opinion. It seems that it's blasphemy to suggest that any goalie is better than Osgood. I couldn't give a s***. Ozzie's an awesome guy, plenty of love for him, but gees he's not the greatest goalie ever okay? He's good. Relax now.

So, these guys were big Ryan Barnes fans? I liked him too. Shame he never was able to step to NHL level.

Dude, I am NOT an Osgood hater. I've said many times I love the guy. The win stat means FA (like many of them) because obviously you'd be stupid to suggest Osgood was a better goalie over his career than Hasek, Roy or Plante. I'm not even going to consider that you think that. You're not that biased are you?

Haha. Thanks for that. You actually proved my point that the stats are more or less pointless. Hey Loo. I love you too. Ozzie is great and I love him but I'm not gonna sit here and say he's something that he isn't. Even if 90% of this board hangs me for it.

Lol. Relax man. I never said any of those things. Why quotation marks around experts? I've never mentioned experts. Nor have I mentioned Liv or your sister. Osgood is getting his just DESSERTS. One, maybe two Stanley Cups as a starter and two Jennings trophies ain't bad for a solid yet unremarkable goalie. And look I never said that Turco and the Stars would win. In fact, I said the opposite. For some reason, Turo can't handle Motown and I don't think anything will change in this series. But that doesn't mean he sucks. Ozzie has a great team in front of him and that is why he is 6-0 and all the other inflated stats. There's a reason he struggled to keep a SV% above .900 in St. Louis and New York. Ozzie is NOT the best goalie ever okay? Get over it. I have, and I'm still happy with him.

Did you see some of Turco's saves in those OT periods? That is exactly why Turco is a great goalie. It was clutch stuff. Ozzie has had to make one clutch save in the playoffs (game 3 dying secs). He's had to beat a depleted Avs team and the Preds (with a turned around Wings team). He's also let in more than a few soft goals. Luckily, the superior team in front of him bailed him out for the 6-0 record. Don't get me wrong Ozzie has been great for us and I love the guy. But some people think his s*** don't stink. We can win the Cup with him but come on, he's no Roy, Plante or Hasek.

I really don't care what the stats are. I've watched Turco play and you clearly haven't. There's a reason so many say Turco has been better. It's because they're unbiased.

I disagree. You're only as good as your best goalie and right now Turco is without a doubt better than Ozzie or Hasek. With a bit of luck, that'll change after facing DAS MULE!!!
