Bet on Turco

From Mike Brophy at The Hockey News,

Anyway, Turco wins and he immediately becomes the answer to our next trivia question: Can he lead the Stars past the Wings? Given his play through two rounds, the answer is a resounding yes!  Until the games start, naturally.

Looking ahead, the Red Wings will be huge favorites in the Western Conference final. The Stars looked dead in the water through most of overtime Sunday, so how can anybody expect them to beat the best team in the league?

The answer is Turco. Muddle through poor play, long stretches of non-scoring chances and questionable defensive protection. Turco will save the day.

“The Stars looked dead in the water through most of overtime Sunday . . .”

There should be a requirement that you must actually watch a game before writing a column that mentions it.  That is, unless, by “dead in the water” Brophy meant to imply that both teams were pretty much in the same depth.

Did he watch any of the overtimes?

San Jose and Anaheim were the two worst offensive teams in the West playoff bracket. So kindly spare us about how battle-tested Turco is. And his three shutouts last year against a popgun Vancouver attack are not the stuff of legend, no matter how much people bring it up.

Didn’t we also hear about what a difference-maker Theodore was going to be?

The Stars have been the Red Wings’ prison wife since Belfour left town. That’s not changing anytime soon.
