apuszczalowski Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Let me be the first to say it, THANK YOU Marty Biron for your service here in a Buffalo Sabres uniform It would have been nice to have kept you for the playoffs and allowed you to get your chance to hoist the cup with the rest of the boys, but buisness is buisness and its the only reason you are moving on. Hopefully you will be going somewhere where you will be used more and allow you to become a full time starter. Maybe one day we will see you in the Finals, but I'm afraid to say at that time I will have to root against you Thanks again and Good luck!
BuffalOhio Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks Marty. Your humor and talent will be missed. You're a class act.

I am going to miss Marty as a member of this team if it's true.
inkman Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Bon Voyage, Martin. Perhaps in the future he can come back to Buffalo.
apuszczalowski Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Posted February 27, 2007 By the way, Marty If you want to come back in the offseason as a backup again in the offseason, I'm sure your spot on the bench will be kept open for you.
TM8-PL16 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I hope someone, some company, the players or the organization take out a full page ad in the Buffalo News saying THANK YOU to Marty Biron for being the exact definition of a TEAM player and a professional athlete with the most class possible. I love Marty Biron and wish him nothing but the absolute best where ever he goes and for the rest of his life. If every athlete had his attitude, the world of sports would be a better place. I also thank his parents for raising such a great person. He is a Buffalo guy and will be back, if for nothing else to just live in the off season and after retiring... Thank you Marty! You will always be a part of us!!!
Peter Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Marty, you will be missed. You are a class act. It would be great to see you finish your career in Buffalo.
shrader Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I said it in the other thread, if it is indeed Philly, I'll still buy that jersey. I feel dirty.
cdexchange Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 If every athlete had his attitude, the world of sports would be a better place. Abso-freakin-lutely. Thanks for everything Marty, we will miss you buddy! :beer:
eball Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Marty, you rock. Thanks for your time between the pipes for the Swordsmen.

You will always be a part of us!!! Anyone know what that would cost? As fans I think it would be a cool gesture to do something like that, maybe we take some donations to do this?
Taro T Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Marty, Thanks for being a team player all these years. I really wish you weren't a Phlyer. Good luck.
Samson's Flow Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 yes. thank you marty - only you could have played the way you did, be a team player, and be a fan favorite. i still love all your quotes from the playoffs to the carolina players and much more. good luck
Braedon Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Marty, you are TRULY a class act and we will miss you. But hopefully you are not with the Flyers next year, as I feel like you've just been dealt to the dark side. Love you anyway.
Orange Seats Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks Marty. I'll never forget you taunting Stall during the ECF's. What's amatter? Can't stay on your feet? Can't stay on your feet Stall? Priceless. Throwing down against Emery was pretty ballsy too.
LoveAndWarrener Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks, Marty; even if you're a Flyer we'll still love ya.
slugspirit Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Marty is still the man. Represented the city so proudly, and was the only Sabre to wear original B&G, Goathead, and the slug. I will still wear my #43 jersey proudly.
sabregoats Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 thanks for all the memories marty

wjag Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I for one think Marty got a raw deal. He lands on a team with 3 other goalies and in last place. He very well might have gotten a ring in Buffalo and played the open market later in the summer. There is no upside to what happened to him.

If they extend his contract, Esche is an UFA after the season and Nittymaki is a RFA. Things can very easily change there.
Claude Balls Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 The best part of Marty being traded...........we won't have to face him in the playoffs. Philly may have just become our toughest opponent for the next few years. If the Sabres win the Cup, I hope they invite Marty in to celebrate with team afterwards, not on the ice, but you know what I mean. He was a very big part of this teams success and helping them get to where they are now.

He very well might have gotten a ring in Buffalo and played the open market later in the summer. There is no upside to what happened to him. No upside? He now gets to work out a contract, with the threat to test FA now, and is pretty much handed the starting job
LoveAndWarrener Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Philly is absolutely being managed very well right now. They will be tough in the future. As for Marty, can't he get a ring if the Sabres do win it all? I thought if you were active for 46 games that was the case. Rule geeks?
Taro T Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I for one think Marty got a raw deal. He lands on a team with 3 other goalies and in last place. He very well might have gotten a ring in Buffalo and played the open market later in the summer. There is no upside to what happened to him. Leighton has been waived, so he is an AHLer at best. Esche is horrible, and Nittimaki has been nearly as bad this year. Marty's been traded into a Todd Collins - AVP swirl, not a Joe Montana - Steve Young deal. He hasn't even ended up in a Mika Vancouver deal. Marty is better than what they had. (Could Antero play better than Marty if he gets his head screwed on straight? Probably, but considering he was a Clarke guy and Clarke wouldn't know a good goalie and how to handle him if the guy bit him on the butt, I wouldn't expect Nittimaki to beat Marty out.)
