Pierre Turgeon's 1000th NHL Point

Pierre Turgeon scores a goofy goal for his 1000th NHL point. Early in the 1999-2000 season in Edmonton, tricky Pete rung a blueline wrist shot off both posts before dumping the rebound in the net.

Turgeon, who has averaged more than 1 point per game over the span of his brilliant career, became the 55th player in NHL history to reach the mark.

I agree man. I am a Blues fan and he quickly became my favorite player of all time during his tenure with the Blues. He had so much skill and was so humble. His career numbers are Hall worthy and he belongs.

in a perfect world buffalo would have found another way to get lafontaine instead of trading turgeon

If this was a perfect world, both Turgeon and Salo would still have been playing for the New York Islanders at the time of this video.

So "Sneaky" Pete is your uncle, eh? Pretty cool. Pierre is my favorite NHL'er of all time and my favorite NY Islander of all time.

It's a shame that Turgeon's career will always be marred by the Dale Hunter mugging. Pete stayed on the perimeter for the rest of his career and essentially was a sniper for hire. I'd love to see him in the Hall, as he will always be my favorite player, but he shunned the spotlight and never won the hardware.

Nice shot, he needed a quick one to beat the goalie.
