Pierre Turgeon was a very good Little League baseball pitcher and player, maybe the best in the world in 1982! I think he was better than Cody Webster (1982 World series heroe). His team Canada (Rouyn) came so close for winning against Taiwan (Far East) in semi final!!! He's the only Canadian inducted in Hall of fame of Little League in Williamsport Pennsylvania USA.
Pierre Turgeon great hockey player but There's this dog Turgeon, just sitting there, with his head down. He wouldn't get his ass off the bench ... just sitting there when everyone's off the Soviet bench and at least one of our guys is in real trouble getting double-teamed."
Pierre Turgeon is a Hall of Famer and ironically enough his brother Sylvain Turgeon was selected number two in 1983 in front of ironically enough Pat Lafontaine. What a small world :)
Pierre deserves to make the HHOF. #28 All time Points (1,327 points in 1,294 games), Averaged 1.03 PPG, 97 playoff points in 109 playoff games. He has 8 points less than Mike Gartner playing 138 fewer games. (and it took Pierre 90 fewer games to reach 1,000 points). Because he is first eligible in 2010instead of 2009, he has a decent shot at making it as a first time ballot.
I disagree. I think if Turgeon didn't get his shoulder messed up by Dale Hunter he would have stayed on the Isles and would have benn just as good if not better than LaFontaine when he played for the us.
Boston could have scooped Joe Sakic? but went with Glen Wesley!!! hahaha, way she goes boy

14 picks later, an 18 year-old from Burnaby, BC was picked by Quebec. The rest is history.

@corbycanada I guess you forgot he won a Lady Byng trophy... he didn't fight. He didn't even cause fights and run away like real "dogs" do.

"Sneaky Pete"
I still say that Turgeon being the centerpeice of the Lafontaine trade was not as good as Patty.
Oh yeah.........Dale Hunter sucks.

Turgeon = Underrated
chrisuncleahmad 3 years ago 14
@chrisuncleahmad I don't think he was underrated per se. He was more like "under the radar", hence the nickname Sneaky Pete.
But with all due respect, it's because he never won a Stanley Cup that maybe caused him to not be mentioned in the same breath as some of the greats.
I'm an Islander fan, and I still hate Dale Hunter for what he did to this guy's career. He would have gone places if he wasn't injured.

Great, great player, loved him when he played for us on Long Island.
BUT........
He is nowhere as valuable as Pat Lafontaine who we gave up to get him.

He wouldn't have stayed on the Islander because Don Maloney was an asshole.

"If"
That if no one will ever know.
Lafontaine was more valuable.
CCampLI 3 years ago
Turgeon's career was forever tainted by Dale Hunter's cheap shot. But Turgeon at his best was just as good as Lafontaine and possibly better.
mardgn81 3 years ago
You are fucking high.
Lafontaine was 10X the player Turgeon was. Even with the concussions he STILL made the Hall of Fame.
Is Turgeon going to? Probably not.
