"Can you go celebrate some place else?"

Brilliant decision by Versus to mike Marty Turco for the NHL All-Star Game tonight. Marty's humor shined as the Dallas Stars goalie traded one-liners with Doc Emrick and Eddie Olczyk (who has to be one of the worst color men in hockey broadcasting, but then we're pretty spoiled here in Dallas with our top-notch crew). And Turco did it while he played, shrugging off shots microseconds after talking with the announcers upstairs, and continuing to chat as face-offs occurred right in front of him. His best line came after the Eastern Conference scored the first of three goals against Turco, when Marty, waving them toward their bench, said with a wink to the Eastern players congregating in front of the net: "Hey guys, can you go celebrate some place else?" It made for great insight in to the game from a goalie's perspective, and it was really great of Turco to make the effort. Best of all, he got the win!
