Editing Roman Turek (section)

===St. Louis Blues===
The Stars, fearing they would lose Turek to the [[Atlanta Thrashers]] in the upcoming expansion draft, traded him to the [[St. Louis Blues]] in the 1999 off-season, and Turek finally got his chance to shine as he topped the league with seven shutouts and won the [[William M. Jennings Trophy]] in his first season. He helped the Blues to the [[Presidents' Trophy]] that year and the Blues entered the [[2000 Stanley Cup playoffs|playoffs]] with high expectations. However, St. Louis was eliminated in seven games by the eighth-seeded [[San Jose Sharks]], with some aggravated Blues fans pinning responsibility on Turek because of some soft goals he allowed, including one in game 7 that was fired from centre ice by Sharks captain [[Owen Nolan]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-c10i6bw48 |title=Owen Nolans Red Line Goal on Turek - YouTube |website=[[YouTube]] |access-date=2016-11-26 |archive-date=2016-04-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160411031735/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-c10i6bw48 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S10PdOL3A1Y Owen Nolan’s Center Ice Goal – Shark City Hockey on YouTube].

He put up good numbers again, this time helping the Blues reach the playoffs as the fourth seed, where they again faced the Sharks in the first round. This time, Turek helped the Blues eliminate the Sharks in six games and then helped them sweep the Dallas Stars, his former team, in the second round. However, in the third round against the [[Colorado Avalanche]], soft goals plagued him again (including one scored after an attempt to scoop the puck into his glove with his stick) and again in some fan circles bore the brunt of the blame for the Blues' third round 4–1 ouster.
