I will never forget seeing Marty walking around the locker room with those huge tree trunks. He’s obviously not the tallest guy, but he has the biggest legs I’ve ever seen on a human.

So we get out onto the ice, and the speed is incredible. I go up against Marty in a drill, and of course my first thought is, I’m a big guy. I have the size advantage. I’ll just body him and bump him off the puck.

Yeah. No.

It was a great article and I'm sure it wasn't easy to write, I mean it's one thing to speak English but it's harder to write it. I really enjoyed it because I could relate to some of it like that feeling during 3rd period of the Olympic finals.

Great read. Still crazy how many players come from his town.

What does "nutmegging" mean?

Playing the puck between the defenders legs. I think it's normally a soccer term.

Great article. Hedman is a likable guy. He appears to have the potential to be a real captain and team leader unlike what we have now

It's a shame that this Marty incident scarred him for life, and was thus unable to body anyone else off of pucks.
