The 2004 Hart Trophy winner had 52 points in 74 games last season. #TSN" "@frank_seravalli: St. Louis interested in playing nxt season but wanted to be close to family in Connecticut. Few options. He's earned approx. $70M since '98." From undrafted to an outstanding career, congrats Marty!

WingsAlways 486 Report post Posted July 2, 2015 I would call him a class act and say that I've enjoyed his career, but my nose would grow. It's difficult to respect a career when you can't respect the person behind it. 1 marcaractac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's difficult to respect a career when you can't respect the person behind it. If it wasn't for the hissy fit he threw after yzwrman kept him off team Canada, I'd like him more...But he was still a hell of a player.

HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878 Report post Posted July 2, 2015 The biggest thing I loved about him was how small he was. He didn't look scared to go into the corners with someone. 3 Gordie Howe hat trick, jimmyemeryhunter and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingsAlways 486 Report post Posted July 2, 2015 He played with heart and a size much bigger than his frame, I'll give him that, I just think he could have handled the Team Canada deal better. He turned his back on his team and ironically it was Tampa that ended his last game. 3 kickazz, haroldsnepsts and jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kliq 3,755 Report post Posted July 3, 2015 I used to really like St.Louis, but the way his stint on Tampa ended leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) I wonder if he would have continued to produce well had he not left Tampa. Seems liek as soon as he came to Rangers, things went downhill. Perhaps he would still be playing as a 40 year old. Edited July 3, 2015 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
