from Mike Heika of the Dallas Stars Blog,
“Turco pushed the net,” Lemaire said. “It’s the third time that Turco does that, just against us. He goes like he’s going to stumble, and he just lays on the post, that’s what he does. It’s a trick, but now they’ll know. Next time, they’ll watch."…
When told that Lemaire said that historically speaking, Turco had a history of doing that, Turco replied:
“When he played, they had steel pegs in there, and the net wasn’t coming off, And I don’t know how many times he was in front of the net, anyway...historically speaking.”

Turco needs to just shut up and walk away from these situations until he’s back on his feet again. Lemaire had >500 NHL goals, regular season and playoffs combined. I don’t have the data, but I’d bet a decent number of those came from somewhere near the front of the net. Turco trying to imply that an 8-time Stanley Cup winner is somehow soft is a serious mistake in tactics.
