Turco
|
If Turco didn't silence his critics during the conference
quarterfinals, he is sure to have done so now. In a series where
five of six games were decided by one goal and four in overtime,
Turco gave Dallas the edge, outdueling Vezina candidate Evgeni
Nabokov in the process. The Stars netminder held the Sharks to
two goals or less in all but one contest. He capped the series
with his most impressive performance thus far, stopping a
career-high and franchise-record 61 shots in Game 6.
