Turco - Will He Pull a Kipper?

[ross10019]

I am a new Turco owner, and had to give up some assets to get him. I did it because I think he\'s a definite buy low with his awful start. I think his situation is remarkably similar to Kipper\'s in Calgary. A good, balanced team with a decent to good D, which starts out terribly due in part to his bad goaltending, but without a true backup to spell him.

The Flames are now hot, as is Kipper, and his owners are smiling now after putting up with a bad first few weeks.

I think Turco is in the same league as Kipper. He may not have put up as stellar numbers over the years, but all around he has been almost as valuable to his team (excluding playoffs, until the last 2 years).

I think it\'s just a matter of time before Dallas starts to roll again, and when they do things will start to click, both for the team and for Turco. The team is just too good to continue with this terribly inconsistent play, same for Turco, and they won\'t be looking to Tobias Stephen to help them out except for the spot start.

So count me among those who thinks that Turco will soon \"pull a Kipper\". That\'s not because I just acquired him (although of course it was THE reason why I did), just an objective assessment based on the goalie and the team.

Would be interested in hearing your thoughts!

Turco will begin to roll by the end of this week. Morrow won\'t accept to loose and Zubov will be in the lineup(that D has a lot of talent).

Dallas will bounce back.

I too am a new Turco owner. Obviously I believe he will turn it around. I think berni67 is right when he suggests that Zubov coming back will help. Zubov is more important than a lot of people give him credit for.

There is definitely something wrong with Turco\'s game though, some of those goals I\'ve seen go in were just brutal (Gerberesque!). So Turco has a lot of work to do on his own.

Dallas is too good a team and I\'m confident Turco will turn his game around.
