The Career of Marty Turco

[@dmac26official]

When I was in high school, Marty's brother Joey Turco was one of my teachers. He was fantastic. 🙂

[@ekaj13_]

The Turco/Luongo battle was definitely one of the best goalie duels ever.

[@tho0505]

One of my favorite goalies growing up. A true Michigan legend, winning two national titles there. Probably is one of the all-time greats to ever play college hockey. Nice video Shannon!

[@ryanhoeksema2191]

I have always been a wings fan, but watching Turco as a kid at U of M and then in Kalamazoo a couple years, you couldn't help but root for him and the stars. Really fun to watch.

[@BrendanP]

I liked Marty Turco's puck handling abilities. I also liked his gear; he had solid green pads and didn't he have gold Rebook pads? Lovely stuff.

[@Ukrainadian]

One of Turco’s most memorable moments was when he pranked Roman Polak with the bench door. What a guy.

[@Papi4l2]

What bout when Datsyuk stuck him on a poster? Lol

[@lukewilhelm5829]

Roman would later become a Dallas star

[@kidman2505]

I have to say this first, HE CHANGED THE PUCKHANDLING GAME, AND IS A LEGEND FOR SUCH. A remarkable person to watch play, and you gotta know I was analyzing that skill every time he touched the puck. Because of him I welted up my garage door all over, and earned the anger of my father lol. As a young dude living in the Detroit area, it was hard to miss the big college goalies in the area. Guys like this are huge inspirations to young kids in the area as everyone knows. Between him, Miller, Steve Shields, etc back when, you had these great young role models to look up to.

[@geebster.]

SUPER underrated. People dont talk about him enough. He was one of those guys that was so talented, both in making reflex saves but also playing the puck that when he was on his game there wasnt really anyone better.

[@seanlonergan1202]

Grew up with him in the Soo. He took my goalie spot on my hockey team. He was my elementary school friend and classmate. An amazing human and competitive person. He was small as a player when he was young. No one in the ohl would take him in the draft. He had great grades as he was always very studious. He had a growth before going to university and was amazing in Michigan. Since his retirement he is a great ambassador for hockey in Dallas and a helper in his hometown the Soo. Thanks for highlighting his career. That Vancouver vs Dallas series was an amazing battle between two great goalies.

[@FrankieHresko]

Good stuff!

[@mikejednorog3383]

I’ll never forget him hopping up and down in his “ready “ stance and then racing out at the breakaway or the pen shot :). I had green Dallas pads as a kid

[@ericmoran92]

As a lifelong Stars watcher, it always seemed like Dallas took stellar goalies like Turco, Bishop, and Khudobin and wasted their careers by never providing anything above sub-par with their offense to support their efforts between the pipes

[@NLSNcs]

If they ruin otter I'm gonna riot

[@lukewilhelm5829]

@Angry JayByrd he brought the team in 2014

[@AK_Wargamer]

He was a great puck handler too.

[@GvirusUser]

I remember Turco being a beast when I used to play NHL 04. That was around the time I really started getting into hockey and Turco was my favorite goalie for awhile

[@WoefulPie]

Marty also played a huge part in getting Jack White and Ian Kinsler as investors for Warstic

[@thebigmarbowski84]

I always loved his puckhandling skills.

[@The_BlackDragon]

67 GAMES in a season was too much. Probably too tired to have a good playoff run and have the adrenaline at the top like oettinger did this year. He was a good puck handler behind the net with good transition passes and zone clearance on the pk. He had one of the most impressive shoot in the league to clear the puck out. nice vids

[@kcjc]

Solid goalie, definitely a case of a goalie carrying some subpar lineups. I remember thinking him being on the cover of 2k6 was really cool as a kid.

[@TylerEL]

Late on this video but...Eddie Belfour was my favorite player as a kid, when he got traded to Dallas I became a Dallas Stars fan as kids will do, and when he retired I became a Marty Turco fan lol. So for me it's really cool that you did a Marty Turco career video, wasn't expecting it.

[@christmasallyearlong7299]

HES very good and great job shyannon happy long weekend

[@billnyethesciencesguy]

He had an alltime great save for boston. Legend

[@richardjohndrow3365]

He and Broduer revolutionized the way goaltenders play the puck. He really is a pioneer of how the position is played in the modern era.

[@mikejednorog3383]

Most likely learning a lot from Eddy in Dallas :) both elite puck handlers

[@gustavquicksand3402]

A great goalie and great personality. I remember during that series against Vancouver where he posted 3 shut outs and somehow still lost, a game went to overtime and the puck rolled behind his net. Even though one of the Canucks was right there, he decided to leave the net and engaged in a puck battle for a few seconds.

[@evilmotorsports5076]

He skated with our team during a beer league tournament a few years back. Great passer.

[@swedreamhack5308]

Solid goalie, sometimes incredible. I agree completely and it's unfortunate for him that Dallas didn't have a great team in front of him.

[@zubiecup]

If Giguere hadn't been a god through the first 3 rounds of the 03 playoffs, I think Turco would've gotten his Cup that year.

[@vale1w]

Actually turco played in europe for RB Salzburg in austria before retiring

[@tommywd40]

His career wasn't stellar, but he will go into the HOF for how he completely changed goalies played the puck and the stick technique behind it

[@tdfmtig]

You know you’re good when you are a goalie and they put you on the cover of NHL 2K

[@jonathanmills7994]

I didn't realize he played at Michigan, won 77% of the 165 games he played.

[@dax138]

I Loved screaming for Turco to get back into the net!!!! My wife wore a Turco jersey when we got married

[@v4v819]

What's with this decade of goaltenders that were so brief yet brilliant however even if amounting they simply not sustaining or fall short... Most frustrating era for goalies ever!

[@lankancheetah]

I'll be honest I was (and still am actually) a critic of Turco's. That 2006 Stars team was pretty offensively gifted and score about 3goals / game in the playoffs; yet Turco choked. Yes he did well vs Vancouver in 07, but Vancouver had trouble scoring all playoffs (see their Anaheim series in round 2). 08 was his best yet he ran into his psychological barrier of Joe Louis Arena (no wins, many losses over his career). 03 vs the Ducks and 04, he was very ordinary.

[@philipcoggins9512]

You don't realize how relatively short a guy's career is until you see a video like this...

[@muss1429]

One of my favourites

[@MooseTheMau]

I was a fan of Turco. Sort of came out of nowhere if I remember correctly.

[@stevehunt9051]

Always Iiked Turco - very underrated

[@shanielcabral]

His yellow pads in Boston were awesome

[@secondfloorpie9064]

Awesome goalie! And he was fiery, does anybody remember him slashing Ryan Smyth's face, I think he was suspended a few games for that haha

[@christhornycroft3686]

I'm actually surprised his career wasn't that long. Goalies and D men usually take longer to develop, but if it was just a matter of playing behind established NHL goalies in Dallas, I'm surprised Turco didn't ask for a trade to a team that had a spot for him to play in the late 90s. If you're 5 years out from your draft year, even if you're a goalie, you'd better be an established NHL player or you're probably a career minor leaguer.

[@oceanshrugs9235]

My brain has erased the Turco on Chicago and Boston files evidently?

[@Mark-xl1ze]

Wish he had won a Stanley Cup with the Stars.

[@atpyro7920]

It always felt criminal that Dallas was never good enough to get Turco a cup. He quite literally joined the team just a year too late.

[@Sexton_blake93]

A career of Ed Belfour video would be really cool 😎

[@rockybalboa1847]

Have Iron Mike Keenan host it... that would be interesting.... lol

[@robins5798]

@@rockybalboa1847 Why? Keenan liked Belfour and Eddie called him when the got inducted to the Hall of Fame to thank him.

[@rockybalboa1847]

@@robins5798 .. I just remember that with the BlackHawks .. he yanked Eddie and they had quite the discussion on the bench

[@ScarecrOmega]

One of my favorite goalies, and even better he had terrible stats against my Red Wings, I believe he only won 1 career game in Detroit.

[@matthewmoosetail9109]

Hockey guy could you do one on Tommy Salo I would love to hear about his career.

Similar to the Marty in NJ.

Ah yes, the goalie who made a kid in Houston be a fan of the Stars for over 15 years. He also sparked my genuine hatred for the Avalanche and Red Wings.

[@theawayfan6052]

He battled against the Wings in '08, but Osgood was not to be denied. Always liked his helmet design. The feeling is mutual for the Avalanche

[@manzac112]

[@brandonmiller8659]

How do you not mention that all 3 of his wins against Vancouver were shutouts.

[@scottlarsh3119]

I think Jon Casey was actually the best goalie Dallas ever had.

[@Rmunkay]

Always liked Turco. The cant win with him in the playoffs talk never really made sense. Getting vezina votes with that sub .900 save percentage meant he was the reason thet were even in the playoffs in the first place.
