Marty Turco broke the franchise record for consecutive appearances last night with No. 24 in a row, passing Cesare Maniago's mark set through the 1968-69 season. I know he's taken on a huge workload, but he's looking good right now. He got beat on a pretty good shot, following an even better move, last night. He doesn't look tired, doesn't look like he's feeling any wear and tear.
Now the Stars have another quick run of games coming up, three in four nights beginning tomorrow with the Vancouver Canucks. Turco loves to play, and he's playing well. Do the Stars need to rest him or just let him keep going right now?

I say let him play. Mentally he seems to be feeding off playing.

IMO they NEED to sneak in a game or two of rest for Turco at this point. Theyve climbed out of the cellar and are in good enough position that they can afford to give him some rest. At this point if you dont rest him you run the risk of his body/mind running out of juice at playoff time.

Yes they should rest Turco.
The Canucks should do the same with Luongo, but they probably won't. I think Luongo calls the shots, whether it's for his own good or not.
