“That’s certainly a moment that I’ll never forget.” -Matt Martin on GWG in Game 4 of 2021 ECF
New York Islanders forward Matt Martin reminisced on NHL Now’s Players Only about his Game 4 GWG in the 2021 Eastern Conference Final and looked forward to playing the Hurricanes in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
I watched that playoff run while manning a kitchen with just a dishwasher during the Covid times. I remember how electric it was watching them play. Matt Martin is one of the players I always loved watching succeed and lay it all out on the ice. He is pure hockey to the bone. He may not be a Gretzky but he is an even better representation of what pure hockey is than Gretzky. He represents what so many of us are just at a higher skill level. He’s the man.

Should they retire his #17?
