Marty Turco

Forget all the extraneous points and strategies in terms of the Dallas Stars' game 5 in Detroit Saturday.

Saturday is about Marty Turco. He needs to be perfect. We're talking shutout. Every ounce of weight and burden should be on Turco's shoulders because he's going to be the only Star that can arguably single-handedly take this series to a game 6.

Game 6 would be gigantic. Momentous. Out of this world.

Turco not only can carry this series one game further, but he can turn the tide. Coupled with game 4's emotional win, a huge Turco-drenched game 5 win would put the Wings on their heels and force them to win, again, in Dallas when the team will be at a fever pitch and the fans ... well, forget about that. A game 6 would turn this city upside down.

Marty Turco. It's about Marty Turco. It was about Tony Romo in January. It was about Dirk Nowitzki two weeks ago. This weekend, it's Marty Turco. The eyes of Dallas are upon you.
