TGDT: 12/15 Avalanche @ Blackhawks 7:30PM CSN+

I wouldn't start Turco for the remainder of his contract.

That would be dumb. I would have gone with Turco. At some point he is going to need a few games in a row. Like it or not Crawford can not play 49 more games.

It was a bit of a hyperbole, but I'd only start turks against the weakest of opponents... like deadmonton, or cowgary, or the laffs.

He was slaughtered against the Flames. You have to at some point get him on a roll. Defensive efforts like the other night can NOT be pinned on Turco.



Being a Canuck fan you should know this.

I can pin whatever I want on turco, as he is my Modano; though, it's not like my statements are without bias (quite the opposite).



Bring back huet! or something.

My Modano is that entire shitty fucking team in Vancouver that will never win fucking shit. haha

to each their own. can I borrow your crystal ball?

 

[the canadian dream]

lmao I love that that people have a "modano". Soooo fucking classic.



"My Modano are the entire Canucks team"!! RK that is brilliant lmao.





anyways....is that true about Kane returning Friday? That seems like earlier than thought isn't it?



As for the game tonight. i think you start Turco too. As a coach you have to show confidence in your goalie. And lets be honest most NHL goalies rebound after a tough game. And I am not saying Monday was Turcos fault I am just saying it was a tough game all around for everybody. Even though it seems the team plays better with Craw in net (that could be coincidence more than anything) I do think you go back with Turco. I am 100% sure the defense will tighten up tonight and Turco did make some great save on Monday before the team hung him out to dry. Monday wasn't a goalie pull because he goalie was playing bad..it was a pull to try and wake up the rest of the team. It worked for about 5 minutes.

Nope. I just go by past experience. HA!

Spot on TCD, same reasons I woulda gone back to Marty, but alas we are not Q.



And Modano is my Modano, there can be no other.

 

[Tater]

Yeah, that's one word for it! It'd be much spiffier if Hoss were back, dadgummit.

Your darn tootin' !

 

[supraman]

Your darn tootin' !

fucking hicks

 

[Kerfuffle]

I'm waiting for Koci vs. Scott round #2 tonight. Neither guy can play hockey so might as well fight.

 

[Pez68]

I've sent the Hawks their Christmas gifts a little early this year. They should be arriving at the UC tonight.

Hopefully they'll stop shitting the bed now.

 

[R K]

Maybe they'll give you a tryout Pez.

 

[Pez68]

Maybe they'll give you a tryout Pez.

Only if you put in a good word for me.

Scott is a way better hockey player than Koci... that's how bad Koci is. Oh and Koci can't fight either.

 

[Kerfuffle]

What do you think makes one a better fighter though? Knowing how to take the punch, better size, longer arm reach? Koci is a huge guy - what makes him a bad fighter?

He leads with his face.

 

[Pez68]

He leads with his face.

Haha, exactly. I still remember when Chara bloodied him.

 

[Ton]

I don't think I've ever seen Koci win a fight. Although, hes not the type of guy I'd like to fight on the street, on the ice is a different story. Its probably a combination of his poor balance that allows opponents to take advantage and beat his face in.



I do admire him though, and feel bad for the guy. Hes an awful hockey player, no doubt, but his willingness to go out there and embarrass himself every night... probably not easy on the soul. It takes some guts to be the end of many, many, many jokes.
