I watched every second of that game. The stars should have won it twice in the overtime. They hit the post and then in the last minute of the 2nd overtime robidas ripped one right past luongo and hit the crossbar.

Just bad luck. Two of the canucks goals were freak plays, off a stars skate and in and off the glass bouncing directly back to sedin to poke it in.

We will see tonight, Dallas was so much better than them wed, they just got unlucky.

Still, another playoff game in which Turco gives up 4+ and another OT loss. I thought the Naslund goal was pathetically weak, and he should have been following the puck off the board on the Smolinsky. He assumed it would go around, but you know what they say about people who assume. He is like the anti-Belfour for the Stars. If Turco ever manages to pull his head out, the Stars are contenders.

The Stars played well, but Luongo had a freakish save percentage and this time of year all it takes is a hot goalie to sit down a supposedly better team.

want to change your tune tonight?

This should be a 2-0 stars lead in the series.

Turco was fantastic tonight. The canucks look outmatched and outcoached.

I agree that the Stars were championship quality tonight, but I am still terrified of Marty.

I find it odd that you blame turco, but never mention this teams inability to generate offense.

Mike Modano is invisible every year in the playoffs, yet he is treated like royalty? Seriously was he on the ice tonight, cause I dont see him making any difference at all.

This team has no offense to speak of. Its too bad.

Blaming turco tonight is again crazy, the stars were outshot I think 17-4 in the third period, of a home a playoff game. Again where are modano and morrow?

No decent goalie has any excuse for giving up that overtime goal. (EDIT: I just watched that goal again, and it just gets worse. Its the kind of thing that makes you put your head in your hands and wonder why. Shortside, slap shot, from behind the faceoff dot. Wow. Just wow) I just cant believe he lost in OT...again. He has to step up, Luongo bailed his team out in time and time again in game 1, and Turco is letting in garbage like that? Is he a good player or isnt he? I blame Ed Belfour, he showed hockey fans in Dallas what a true championship quality goaltender can look like.

Its hard to score against a world class goalie like Luongo. Thats playoff hockey.

So the 4OT loss was Turco's fault? genius... Nevermind that the Stars offense couldn't generate a goal in a 60 extra minutes of play. I don't care what goalie it is, you don't blame them for giving up a goal in the 4th OT.

When has Turco ever stood up and been counted in the playoffs? Getting beat shortside by some pathetic slapshot is definetly the goalies fault, and that was after what 3 minutes in one OT? The Stars couldnt score in those 4 OT's becuase they are playing a world class goalie, thats what happens. Luongo has stood up and been counted, he faced 20 more shots in that 4 OT game and no one is making excuses for him. I just fear that Turco has played well enough to convince the morons that gave him rediculous money to keep him around for another year of more playoff excuses.

Bring back Belfour.http://www.***BANNED-URL***/img/photo/08-02/Cupkiss.JPG

Yet again our hero makes one fewer save than needed as he got beat while lying on his *** after having lost sight of the puck and on a goal where he kicked the rebound directly out into the slot.

Series over.

THat first goal was bad, that was on turco. And you cant give up that second one.

Where are the goal scorers for this team? Modano is a no show every year. He barely touches the puck.

I don think the series is over yet, but the bus is warming up.

So quick to place blame on the most obvious guy. I'd venture it'd be much different if pucks were flying at your head.

How about the great Stars offense that scored 2 goals at home this series?
