So you give Turco credit for 02/03 (1.88 GAA, .919 S% in 12 games) but label him unable to get the job done based on a handful of poor performances in a set of 10 other games. If next season Dallas got to the Finals would he would suddenly earn the label of being able to cut it in the playoffs? Heck, maybe if Arnott hits net instead of post and Morrow does not take a penalty, then Turco is right now proving he can get the job done in the playoffs.
Ugh, I loathe the proclamations based on relatively quite few performances determining that players are different based on the calendar - apparently guys cannot just play poorly in the postseason, they must be unable to cut it when it matters. This is especially grating when my team has been knocked out.
