Marty Turco Silences Doubters

If Marty Turco didn't silence his doubters last year with his 1.30GAA, .950 save percentage and 3 shutouts in the Stars first round exit, then I can't see how they could still be talking after last night's performance.

Marty Turco is absolutely the only reason the Dallas Stars are headed to the conference semi-finals to face the Detroit Red Wings. He faced 62 shots in the Stars marathon win - 8th longest in playoff history - over the San Jose Sharks and did it with style. Turco's amazing save on Patrick Marleau was the defining moment of last night's game and the entire series.

The Sharks owned the vast majority of this game including the first three overtime periods and needed their goaltender to steal them this one. I have to wonder though, just how much magic Turco will be able to pull out against the Red Wings.
