Marty is so calm before games. His demeanor is second to none, which translates to his on-ice calmness. When the puck comes firing in, he can slow everything down, handle the puck and make a play.

He will make splits and catch the puck. When there is a quick shot in the slot, he will make an unbelievable glove save and electrify the whole bench. He makes momentum-stopping saves.
-- Darren Pang
He has great balance and is an exceptional skater. That helps in moving post to post. On breakaways, he can come out and challenge the shooter, and then back up quickly as the shooter is coming at him.
-- Darren Pang
Over the last few years, he has worked at getting the pads square to the shooter. Less leaning. Less cheating. Now, shooters are looking right at his pads, covering up a lot more net and taking less effort.
-- Darren Pang
Since he won the Cup in '95, he has been up top in regular-season stats. After last year's early exit, this is gutcheck time. He was shunned again in the Vezina voting. Inside, he wants to get back his elite status.
