Marty Turco Appreciation Thread

[supraman]

After the shit eating grin he's got I'm actually excited to see what Turco can do. My initial worry was we were getting a goalie that was past his prime and didn't have it anymore and was going to ride the coattails of the kids to win his cup.



The shit eating grin just tells me a different story so now I'm hopeful.

Welcome to the Chicago Blackhawks Hockey Team, Inc. and its seemingly unrelenting feel-good PR obligations and photo-ops machine that goes along with being a Hawk! :lol:

I haven't looked at your links yet, but it's nice to see a goalie out promoting the Indian Head. Nothing against Niemi, but besides getting a top notch netminder for 1.3 M, Turco's intangibles - experience, mental toughness, do whatever it takes to win 'tude - are going to go a long way at making this a stronger uber-cohesive team.



According to Don Cherry:



Marty Turco is the smartest goalie in the NHL*

* If I could just get the video in the link to play.



Canadian hockey personality Don Cherry named Turco as "the smartest goalie in the NHL."

Time for Ton to once again break off this thread into a foreign food discussion. I wonder if Ovechkin likes frijoles negros.

Turco becomes top fantasy goaltending option

Monday, 09.13.2010 / 4:35 PM / Features

NHL.com



Similar to fantasy defensemen, it's always hard to decide when to select your first goalie in drafts. Do you take the risk and grab one in the first round, giving away the chance to nab an elite scorer? Do you wait around for the middle rounds to take your first goalkeeper and hope to get lucky the way people did with Phoenix's Ilya Bryzgalov or Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick last season? These are just a couple questions that surround fantasy goaltenders, and while it's never an easy decision, goalies usually end up being the centerpiece to a championship squad.



A few key goalies changed teams this offseason, specifically Jaroslav Halak, Marty Turco and Antti Niemi, but the No. 1 keeper remains the same: the Devils' Martin Brodeur. Despite being 38, Marty continues to put up outstanding numbers year after year. Ryan Miller follows closely behind Brodeur and Henrik Lundqvist comes in as the surprising third-ranked goalie.
