Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYI] F Matt Martin signs with the Islanders (1 year, $775k AAV)

[miscs75]

Just as soon as you read a headline that the sabres or islanders won a cup lol. I like mysteries but im gonna spoil this one for you. Nelson will be long retired before either happen....cheers

You might have people pregame at a Bills game without jumping through tables before the Sabres or Islanders win a cup.

Isle fans: Mna we need to do something about our offense
Lou completely senile and thinks it's 1974: Signs who he believes is Pit Martin

Pit Martin. Nice blast from the past. Poor guy died when the ice cracked under his snowmobile and he drowned after plunging into lake. I think it took a day or so for divers to find his body. Loved watching him play

Yeah, that really was a tragic ending to a pretty good player. Played for my team but obviously is most known for being a Hawk.

Only watched him on tape.

 

[Breakers]

What was that guy that was flat out terrible

and he kept getting contracts becuase he was a good "locker room guy"
he had the greatest agent in the world

I think his was Nate or Owen
montreal gave him a contract, then philly, then winnipeg, then LA and he was like 35+ at that point

 

[Leafs87]

I was actually just wondering what his status this year would be a few days ago. Good for him. Always liked him

I'm in my mid 60s. Starting following league in '67-68 season. Most know him as Hawk. Many forget he got there from Boston in the Espo trade

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Only thing surprising is how long this took

How long ago?

 

[Breakers]

How long ago?

Pretty recently
Maybe retired like 2 seasons ago
Just can’t think of his name.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Lou lived through world war II

And Bruins got him because my team for some reason wanted Parker MacDonald back in the fold.

Nate Thompson?

 

[Tampa22]

Old school hockey player, great to see him again in a NHL team. Must be mandatory all NHL teams have at least 3 players with the heart and passion of Matt Martin.

Nate Thompson?

Yeah that’s it. Couldn’t track down that name.

Classic Lou

Kurtis Gabriel got a few of those contracts for his short stint as the leagues punching bag.

Awful way to die.

 

[Mike C]

Awful way to die.

He was young too. About to turn 65 if memory serves.

I just found out a guy who runs karate tournaments in my area that my son has competed in passed away shortly after being diagnosed with cancer

Told my wife the bell tolls for all of us. Let's make every day worth something!!

 

[Fist of Fury]

Now sign Clutter to a same contract and the band is together. On the road again.

 

[luiginb]

Completely irrelevant deal but hockey haters will use this as an excuse to dunk on a legend.

Yeah Matt Martin doesn't deserve this vitriol ...

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Calvin can still lay hits and cause turnovers. I'm surprised he isn't playing somewhere. Martin is a step slow, prone to turnovers and not the physical presence he used to be

His name is Pascal lol

 

[miscs75]

His name is Pascal lol

It’s actually Calbert. Calbert Calvin Pascal Khaos Clutterbuck IV.
