Sebastian 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 I don't know what model blocker you are using, but it shouldn't hurt to hold your stick for an entire game. Try one with a stronger support system. I use the Eagle Infinity series and I absolutely love it. Much better than my previous set of Bauer Supremes. ive tried plenty of blockers i just hate holding my stick lol, i always drop it cuz like its so annoying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-Dub 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Without knowing what the two said to each other, what's the point of analyzing their handshake? Obviously, Turco being the losing goaltender, he was not too keen to hang out too long to talk to Ozzie. You guys are analyzing this thing to death for no apparent reason...

hillbillywingsfan 794 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 That's what I thought. Like OMG, did you read Turco's lips? Like, he said like, 'not bad for a backup'. I swear. What a rat bastard. There, that's more in line with stuff you like to read. Childish junk IMO. Like I posted in another thread, win with class, lose with dignity. Pathetic. with this kind of posting and you are calling me childish? hahahahahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 He probably wasn't in the best of spirits, considering the situation. That's what I got too. Turco was depressed, nothing more. I think it was a corjul conversation. If it wasn't, Turco wouldn't have spent so much time chatting with him. He would have kept on skating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 even if he did say, "not bad for a backup" I don't see what the big deal is. I would think he was being sarcastic and trying to make a joke about it, not insult Osgood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MississippiWing 14 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Actually Ozzie was probably saying something to the lines of "ha ha that playoff beard didn't work for you did it you gutless bastard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think he was being sarcastic and trying to make a joke about it, not insult Osgood. Bingo! If that was said, it was meant as a sarcastic remark only to exemplify the fact that Ozzie is no backup. Man, some people just want to make stuff out of thin air. Turco's a great goalie with a lot of class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 308 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 THATS WHAT THE THREAD IS ABOUT DID TURCO LOSE WITH DIGNITY DID OSGOOD WIN WITH CLASS You have no idea what was said or what wasn't said, you are guessing at what Turco may/could have said and then you are taking that guess and calling him classless. How in the hell do you know whether or not Turco lost with Dignity or did Osgood win with Class. This thread is not about dignity and class it is about fans finding a way to dog on a guy! People looking for a reason to hate on the guy. Turco was disrespectful because after losing his chance to go to the SCF he didn't run up and hug Ozzie with a big smile on his face? What did you expect from the man, odds are his career goal is to win a Stanley cup, he just lost his best chance at it, and you want him to be all over Ozzie's nuts!!

BlueMonk 102 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 People are just looking for a reason to bash Turco. We have no idea what was said, or in what context it was said. Marty shook hands with Osgood, and that's all I care about. I wish Chelios could say the same thing about last season's handshake line after the Ducks eliminated the Wings.

PaVel DaTsYuK fan13 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Turco is a flat out poor sport. I have to say I wasn't to say I was surprised in the slightest by his actions. Morrow and Modano were both classy and lost with dignity, but Turco is an example of one player making a team look like a-holes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morrow and Modano were both classy and lost with dignity, but Turco is an example of one player making a team look like a-holes What actions? Do you mean not shaking hands with a smile on his face? Or Are you talking about his words that he used in Press Conferences? You said actions and I don't see what he did that was so horrible, did he slash guys in front of his net, yes, what goalie doesn't? Did he get his gloves in a couple of guys faces, yes, but didn't the wings beloved Ozzie butt end a guy? What did he do that makes him so classless? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyukgrl_in_ATL 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Turco doesn't owe Ozzie anything. He was a gentleman and shook his hand. I prob wouldn't be very chipper after losing in the WCF. p.s. he did give him a lil love tap to his tummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Okay so maybe some of us like myself went a little overboard with it, but it's because I am bitter with Turco. He and Brodeur were pretty much my faves after Ozzie and well I don't feel that way anymore due to the classless/gutless comment..SO I guess I was looking for anything to further fuel my dislike of him. BUT he did say backup. That is a fact. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must have caught the edited version this morning 'cause Turco looked at Osgood during their exchange. Leave it to LGW'ers to blow things out of proportion.

Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Get on it!! Let us know what you decode out of it. You all should see the uproar Dallas fans are in because Zetterberg started skating around near the end of the national anthem. They're on the Dallas board calling him classless and just beating him up for "disrespecting" the National Anthem. Like Z is the first player who hasn't started moving his feet before the final note was sung. What's funnier is another Dallas poster kindly reminded his brethren that Turco almost always skates back into his net prior to the end of the Anthem. I guess they think that's ok. But Z is classless? LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallas27 7 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Having played hockey (goalie) for 18 years and gone through many-a handshakes, I can say that even if Turco said "not bad for a back-up" he meant it as a compliment. And in all fairness, Turco is absolutely right, Osgood was the back-up from game 1 of the regular season up until game 4 of the Nashville series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
