Timeline
Pierre Julien Turgeon (TUHR-zhawn, ; born August 28, 1969) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach and former player.
Selected first overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft, Turgeon played in the NHL for the Sabres, New York Islanders, Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche.
He is one of 46 players to have scored 500 goals.
Turgeon was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on November 13, 2023.
Turgeon was a member of Canada's team that was involved in the "Punch-up in Piestany", a bench-clearing brawl between Canada and the Soviet Union during the final game of the 1987 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Piešťany, Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia) on January 4, 1987.
He was the only Canadian who did not initially leave the bench until Canadian head coach Bert Templeton convinced him to go on the ice.
Many of his teammates never forgave Turgeon for failing to defend his teammates.
In the words of Everett Sanipass: "I'm looking for someone to help (Stéphane) Roy out and I look over at the bench. 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."
Turgeon was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres as the first overall pick in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft.
Rick Jeanneret, play-by-play announcer for the Sabres, coined the phrase "Ooh-la-la Pierre" for Turgeon.
Turgeon would quickly make an impact with the Sabres once he arrived.
In his rookie season, he contributed a respectable 42 points (14 goals, 28 assists) during the 1987–88 season, helping the Sabres reach the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in three years.
His production increased to 88 points (34 goals and 54 assists) for the 1988–89 season as he quickly became a fan favourite.
In the 1989–90 season, he became a star by scoring 106 points (40 goals and 66 assists) and playing in the 1990 NHL All-Star Game.
Turgeon's production dipped a little bit in the 1990–91 season to 79 points (32 goals and 47 assists), but he was still a solid performer.
Turgeon's best season as an Islander was in 1992–93, where he scored 58 goals and 132 points and helped lead the Islanders to the Wales Conference Finals, where they would lose to eventual Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens in five games.
En route, the Islanders defeated the Washington Capitals and upset the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions Pittsburgh Penguins.
The first round series, which the Islanders won in six games, is infamous for an on-ice incident.
After scoring a goal to put the Islanders up 5-1 during game six at Nassau Coliseum, Turgeon was checked from behind by Dale Hunter of the Capitals as he celebrated his goal.
Turgeon suffered a separated shoulder and missed the first six games of the ensuing series against the Penguins.
Hunter received a then-record 21-game suspension for the hit.
In the semifinals against the Montreal Canadiens, Turgeon tallied five points in four games.
The Islanders bowed out of the playoffs after a hard-fought five-game series, two of which went to overtime.
After defeating the Islanders, the Canadiens went on to win the Stanley Cup.
As an Islander, Turgeon was awarded the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in the 1992–93 season.
Turgeon would be named captain of the Canadiens for the 1995–96 season after the departure of Mike Keane to the Colorado Avalanche in December 1995.
During the 1995–96 season, Turgeon would nearly record a 100-point season with 38 goals and 58 assists for 96 points; he would also play in the 1996 NHL All-Star Game.
He averaged more than 70 points per season and scored several key post-season goals during his tenure in St. Louis.
On July 1, 2001, Turgeon joined the Dallas Stars as a free agent, followed by the Colorado Avalanche as a free agent on August 3, 2005.
Turgeon took a year off during the 2004–05 NHL lockout.
Upon signing with the Avalanche, Turgeon switched his jersey number to #87 from his customary #77, as the number was retired by Colorado for Ray Bourque.
On November 8, 2005, Turgeon became the 34th player in NHL history to score 500 goals, doing so against the San Jose Sharks.
On September 5, 2007, Turgeon announced his retirement from the NHL.
Regarding not leaving the bench, Turgeon stated in 2017: "that wasn't my job. I didn't have to fight."
On July 10, 2017, Turgeon was named as the offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Kings.
