I want to criticize him for both, and more. Because he's put on an absolutely putrid display this series.

I'd expect better from a bottom-pair guy making league minimum, nevermind a 5 mil per "cerebral defensive player".

I've defended him a lot this year, but he's been pretty terrible in the playoffs. I want him, Orpik, and Lovejoy gone.

This is the one positive that I'm hoping come from our early exit. Martin gone at any cost. It's sickening watching him get bullied around. He can't lay a hit, he can't take a hit, he can't shoot, he can't keep up with any of the Flyer's forwards when skating is supposed to be an asset. He's a joke and Shero Sh** the bed when he made that move. I understand GM's make mistakes and I'm not saying his head should role but he needs to fix this mistake by making sure Martin never plays another game as a Penguin. Truly soft and I'm not sure how the organization couldn't have known that in advance.

they have got t get Martin OFF the roster.

Even it costs them 2 million per year. HE can be replaced and improved for the 3 million difference.

I think we can safely assert Martin is not going to be benched at this point. They'll ride it out. Closing thread. There is a new off-season thread discussing Martin and others.
