hatedkid666 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Weird, he wanted to stay in the NHL surely someone would have given him a contract eventually. Anyways, congrats on a great career marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Great career. Played for a good long while. Was very fortunate to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 That trade is even as it gets. @ Sather. Probably why he stepped down as GM and kept his presidents spot. Such a mess and team practically has no prospect pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jovocop55 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Still unimpressed with how he handled being cut from Team Canada i agree... he lost alot of respect for that.. what a trade by tampa.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 He played like he's 6-foot-2 throughout his whole career. Put up some solid numbers and was very consistent. Too bad he didn't win his second Cup with the Rangers last year. Best of luck to him, enjoy your retirement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Still unimpressed with how he handled being cut from Team Canada i agree... he lost alot of respect for that.. what a trade by tampa.... my thoughts exactly...i thought he felt too entitled to the position on being on Team Canada...forcing Yzerman's hand after Stamkos got injured.

Harvey Specter Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Still unimpressed with how he handled being cut from Team Canada Definitely a bad moment in his career, but it is what it is. Tampa Bay took full advantage of his disgruntled manner and that's part of the hockey business. However, thanks to MSL for the awesome memories throughout his 16 year NHL career. Was an inspiration for a lot of fans for making his mark in the league from being an undrafted long-shot to Cup champion and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 As an undrafted free agent, he worked his way to a potential Hall of Fame career. His talent, heart and courage more than made up for his lack of size. Congrats on the great career Marty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Still unimpressed with how he handled being cut from Team Canada I know right there were better candidates than him that should have been on team canada and then for him to bascailly bail on tampa even after yzerman picked him for an injury replacement it was just a really cry baby move.

Fanuck Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Got his autograph 2 summers ago in the Mtl airport. Haven't worn that ball cap since; ). Thanks for the memories Marty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Marty was an amazing player and Stamkos and himself weres nubbed from the olympic team in 2010. In 2010 him and Stamkos played all 82 games and finished 5th and 6th in scoring with Marty as the lady byng winner and stamkos sharing the richard with crosby. You do not know what else happened behind the scenes between Marty and Yzerman, they guy played like a champ, anyone who loses respect for him because he voiced his opinion after a long build up should just get over it. One of the greatest hockey stories is his succesfull career. Undersized undrafted and came into the league in the old nhl.. Guys a legend in my books. #dontbadtalkmarty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swflyers28 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Classy guy. Little guy not drafted goes on to be a key piece of a team's first Cup. Wish nothing but the best for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys a legend in my books. #dontbadtalkmarty Undrafted 5'7'' guy goes on to win a Stanley Cup, league MVP's, scoring titles including one where he was past 35, Olympic gold... He is an amazing story. He is also the story of a guy ''who did it my way'' when everyone wanted to turn him into a checker to break in to the league. Spat with Stevie? I'll get over it. How many top athletes have moments where they push their personality into what they want? Its part of what makes some great performers successful. First ballot HHOF?
