Turco To Work Less, Happy With It:

After posting a career worst 2.81 goals against average and matching a personal low with a .898 save percentage last season, Marty Turco is going to have his workload lightened by new Dallas Stars’ coach Marc Crawford.  New backup Alex Auld could see 20-30 games depending on how much rest Crawford intends to give the 34-year old Turco.  According to the sportingnews.com, Turco and Auld helped the coaching staff make the decision.

Hype!:

The great white hope, John Tavares, made his NHL pre-season debut.  His Islanders fell 3-2 to my Edmonton Oilers, who are unbeaten in two pre-school games.  Johnny-T has been battling flu-like symptoms, which obviously prevented him from scoring four goals last night.

Brendan Morrison Is Surviving:

So there’s a new season of Survivor about to start.  Who gives a shit?  Capitals’ centre Brendan Morrison spent part of his offseason in survival training with Survivorman Les Stroud.  Morrison, along with former NHL knuckle-head Kris King, NHL linesman Steve Miller, and a sponsor were dropped into “the middle of nowhere” via floatplane to fend for themselves.  [D.C.
