“When the intensity rises, we like our chances in that regard, too,” Turco said. “We don’t think much of them on a personal, character level. We think that’s to our advantage.”

Is it just me, or does Turco seem to enjoy providing bulletin board material for the Wings?
Can’t quite tell if he’s asking to get his bell rung, or embarassed by an offensive display.

Seriously. And how exactly would you back a statement like that up if you go on to lose, tonight?

By which I mean Turco’s statement. Not yours, mudshark.

No worries. I’m just sad I won’t get to watch Turkey Neck come unglued tonight. Stupid final exams.

“When the intensity rises, we like our chances in that regard, too,” Turco said.
Too? Too?!? You mean you like your chances even without a rise in the “intensity” level, Marty? Hmmmm. Down 2-0. Outshot 65-39. Outhit 70-56. Beat on faceoffs 70% of the time. Yah, I can see where you’d like your chances…if you were an idiot. Oh, right. Never mind.
“We don’t think much of them on a personal, character level. We think that’s to our advantage.”
Okay, you hang on to that thought, Poopco. That and four wins in the next six games will get you into the Finals. My guess? A week from now, you’ll be left with nothing more than your superiority complex. Well, that and a tee time.

Wow. I just saw this now—the morning after Game 3.
Although he obviously plays for the wrong team, I’ve always liked Turco. He’s a U of M guy, and he’s been nice to my kids when we’ve seen him at the Michigan alumni game a few times.
That being said, this quote has to be among the all-time dumbest “bulletin board” items I’ve ever seen.
