Wasn't Turek/Kiprusoff a thing basically non-stop from January to June?

Sorry, I meant Turek only started 6 games as Kipper's backup. I don't see that as being a tandem at that point, it was essentially just Kipper's net from that point on.
That season was certainly defined by Turek getting seriously injured requiring the Kipper trade, where he and Noodles manned the net before Kipper was then hurt. McLennan held the fort while both were injured and Noodles himself had a broken sternum.
My point being that Turek basically lost his net permanently once Kipper came to town. Whereas Kipper and McLennan were more of a tandem that year.
