Exerpts from an ESPN interview with Marty Turco

[rediReulB rokaN]

Quote:DP: The difference between Griese and Tom Brady?<
>MT: Brady gets all the girls.<
>DP: Does he wear the eye black off the field too to impress the ladies? <
>MT: I think he uses an excuse like, "Oh, I just forgot." Yeah, right. <
><
>Quote:DP: Why is it goaltenders don't have roommates?<
>MT: I don't know. My first years I had a roommate and everything was fine. Brendan Morrow was my roomie and I ran the show. I walked in and he'd do everything. Check the thermostat, close the blinds, pull down my bed, everything short of
ushing my teeth. And then I got my own room and I was lost. Mr. Buff couldn't sleep, the sun was coming through my window at 5 a.m. and I had bad teeth after awhile. But I don't know why goaltenders don't have roommates. Maybe it's the naked stretching, I'm not sure.<
>DP: Do you actually do naked stretching.<
>MT: Yes.<
>DP: Explain. <
>MT: It's just the way I sleep and before I go to bed...<
>DP: There's naked stretching?<
>MT: Only this year, since I haven't had a roommate. <
>DP: So if you had a roommate there's no naked stretching?<
>MT: Correct.<
><
>Quote:DP: Who hit you with a slap shot that made you want to cry? <
>MT: Brett Hull was good enough that he never hit me, but he put one by my ears one time. He said, "Hey kid, I missed you on purpose." <
>DP: So he would buzz the tower just to let you know?<
>MT: Oh yeah, I spilled my coffee a few times with his shot. And if Jason Arnott hit me I would lose my
eath for sure. His shot is heavy. It's not any harder in miles per hour, but there's something makes it drive right through me rather than bounce off. <
>DP: I notice you're not mentioning opponents.<
>MT: Al MacInnis hit me in the toe once. <
>DP: And?<
>MT: And I don't stick my toe out anymore. <
><
>Quote:DP: What's the wildest thing you've thought about putting on your mask?<
>MT: I can't tell you.<
>DP: Why?<
>MT: Because my wife would kill me. <
>DP: Pamela Anderson? <
>MT: Ron Jeremy. <
><
>Quote:DP: How many times during a game would you say you actually feel pain?<
>MT: Zero.<
>DP: So you're just going on adrenaline during a game?<
>MT: Yeah.<
>DP: After the game, when does pain set in?<
>MT: When the alarm goes off. First it's my head and then it's the rest of the body.<
>DP: Why does your head hurt?<
>MT: Because the alarm's going off.<
>DP: I thought it was because you were actually thinking during the game. <
>MT: Oh, no.<
><
>Quote:DP: If you didn't play on the same team with Mike Modano, would you hate him because he's like the Kevin Costner of the NHL?<
>MT: Yeah, I would spite him. <
>DP: He's a pretty boy?<
>MT: Yeah. American pretty boy playing in our league. <
>DP: Stealing all the women?<
>MT: Something like that.<
><
>Quote:DP: How is Canada better than the United States?<
>MT: Better winters for hockey. <
>DP: Do they have better manners in Canada?<
>MT: Definitely.<
>DP: They're more polite in Canada?<
>MT: Not compared to Texas, but in general Canadians are more polite than Americans.<
>DP: Cleaner cities?<
>MT: Yeah, cleaner cities.<
>DP: I love Toronto, but I don't like Montreal at all.<
>MT: You don't like Montreal?<
>DP: No. <
>MT: The Frenchmen. Don't worry, we don't like them either. <
>DP: Do you speak French?<
>MT: No need for it because they all know English. <
><
><
><
>That's some goalie you've got down there in Dallas, Wario. O.o DP by the way stands for "Dan Patrick," the interviewer's name. <i></i>

HAH!!!<

>My good Wario, your team possesses quite possibly the funniest goalie in the history of goalies. That guy would make a great NHL Tonight analyst one day. And as for the "Canada iz better than the U.S." bit, I'll ignore that on account of his poking fun at the French.<

Maybe someday there'll be a Turco Trophy, awarded to the funniest NHL player as chosen by the players' association. Or maybe it'll be called the Hull Trophy. Hull's a crazy old hockey man, but he'z pretty damn funny, too. <
