Osgood/Turco exchange

[C-Dub 0]

This thread is proof that LGW has a higher ratio of the word "class" (or derivations) to other words than any other piece of assembled writing in the world.

That is such a damn classy way to say that!

Not to rain on the parade but it was obvious to me that Turco said something along the lines of "you are nobodies backup" and even managed a wry grin in defeat. He had to feel crappy getting past the Ducks and Sharks and then getting his arse handed to him on home ice. I give him credit for doing the sporting thing and going through the line with some honor. Knocking down the team you just beat doesn't elevate the Wings, it cheapens their achievment. The Wings don't do it and nor should we.

People, seriously...it's a handshake. A HANDSHAKE. A handshake isn't something exciting in life.

SWF, why do you insist on adding your negativity in threads you don't like? Why not be "classy" and not read or comment in them? Is that possible for you?

How about you Gordie Howe? If you think its such a childish thread then you must be just as childish to add your unwanted comments to it?

Why don't the 2 of you not read or comment in threads that don't suit you... keep your BS to yourselves and do the rest of us a favour who want to discuss what kind of stupid "backup" remark Turco may have uttered?

Because people are making a big deal over just a handshake, which is less exciting than a lava lamp or lighted tennis shoes. And lava lamps and lighted tennis shoes are pretty boring.

If you don't like me saying that I think 7+ pages of debating a handshake is just absolutely stupid, then that's your tough luck then.

Devastated or not, you still look your opponent in the eye and have some decency. That is if you are a good sport.

So you haven't seen the handshake then because that is exactly what he did. He even put on a fake smile.

[TeeMan 52]

Ozzie should have done then some

Good Lord..... mote than 100 posts about what Marty Turco might have said to Ozzie, all because we hard to word backup.. and the fact Marty Turco wasn't all laughs and smiles after he lost the WCF... go figure..

Ozzie: " Hey Marty, well played buddy... why the long face ?"

Turco: " Yeah... well... Johan Holmqvist lost my Desperate Housewives DVD season 2.. "

Ozzie: " Holmqvist ? Who's he ? "

Turco: " He's my backup ".

See how easy it is the misinterpret an innocent conversation...

I can do it too!!!!

Osgood: "Your momma's so fat when her beeper's going off, people think she's backing up!"

Turco: "Yeah well your momma's so fat when she sits on the bus, she sits next to everyone!"

Osgood: "Your momma's so fat she uses the ocean as a bath tub!"

Turco: "Well your momma's so fat she got into a monster truck and turned it into a lowrider!"

Osgood: "Your momma's so old when she was in school they didn't have history!"

Turco: "Your momma's so old when I told her to act her own age, she died!"

Osgood: "Man, what a bunch of classless goofs we are, right Marty?"

Turco: "Yep."

Osgood: "So we're set for lunch on that 3rd weekend of July?"

Turco: "Yep."

Osgood: "Okay, see you then!"

Not bad.. not bad..

But you should end with the word BACKUP, otherwise it makes little sense why Marty said it..

Turco's bitter he got pwned.

[RockyMountainWingGal 108]

It didn't seem strange to me. Turdco had just been eliminated from the playoffs. I wouldn't expect him to be jumping for joy. I'm sure if he made a "backup" comment he was joking.

Ditto. He went through the line and shook hands as he should - saw nothing odd about the Oz shake. Of course he just got his a$$ kicked so what do people want - for him to be all smiles or something? Either way he's golfing now - maybe Oz should send him some clubs.

I doubt anyone genuinely believes terrible things were said. What caught people's attention (including mine) was merely the awkwardness of the exchange -- specially, an exact moment towards the very end of it.

It's fun to speculate.

Before I continue with this post I'd like to state that I'm not trying to start a huge fight.

Was the broadcast for Dallas and the broadcast for Detroit different? I ask this because I saw Osgood and Turco stand there, smile, exchange brief words, then Turco patted Osgood on the chest and they continued on. Considering Turco was on the losing team I don't think he would've made a smart *** remark like "How's your chest?" He's a way better guy than that and I really don't see how anyone gets the idea that he's a bad guy. I think the picture in the original post was just taken at a bad time. Oh well, there's my 2 cents. I hope someone agrees with me

Yeah, I along with many others agree.

[Guest LivingtheDream]

I have this game DVR'ed and I watched this and there is absolutely nothing to all this whiny ***** gossip. They stopped and spoke to each other during which Turco had plenty of eye contact and even gave Ozzie a pat on the chest. I swear some of you would give back stabbing junior high school girls a run for their money with all this hoopla over NOTHING. The ragging on SWF above was classic teenage girl *****.
