I would agree with that.... All I'm saying is, I trust Howard as much as I would trust Leighton if we had him... I think Turco would be a good solid backstop for us that would put us into a great position.

That's why I said "until the end" But all the way through until then he was fantastic! I just see Howard doing the same thing he did.

Streaks aside... I would love to see this happen... I feel that Turco is a solid and proven goalie... Howard isn't going to cut it. He made some good saves and all of that, but when you have other goalies playing like Fleury did in his first playoff run and Leighton (up until the end), Raask and Niemi... What Varlamov and Hiller did a few years back. I feel like Howard was greatly shadowed. I would like to see us pick up someone I truly have faith in. However, I don't see this happening. Managment is on Howard's nob and aren't going to get off until he really blows it. Sophomore slump style.

In past All-Star games where #9 was taken, he has worn #27 (7+2=9) I could also see him taking Abdelkadder's 8. 27 is most likely. It will be strange to see... Modano should always be 9! Just like Howe could never be anything but 9 or Yzerman 19!

Maybe this helps.... http://detnews.com/article/20100706/SPORTS0103/7060424/1128/rss16
