Super Star Tuesday: Martin Biron

Since I featured Dwayne Roloson I thought I would feature his co-netminder from last season, Marty Biron, in Super Star Tuesday. I've always loved Marty, okay most of it is because of his amazing eyes. The other part is because he's a chatty goalie.


It was starting to look like I'd never get to take pictures of Marty actually playing. In the 2008-09 season, he was with the Philadelphia Flyers, his back up was Antero Niittymaki. If there is one thing that is certain, if Niitty is with a team against the Thrashers, he's gonna play. He has a career 16-0 record against the Thrashers. When the Islanders came to town, I was hoping I'd get to see Marty play, but alas Roli was in net. When they came through again, Roli started. UGH! Well we chased Roli from the net pretty early and in came Biron! FINALLY! So I went over board with pictures on this post.

A nice shot of his gorgeous eyes.





An even better shot.

Seeing some shots.





Seeing some rubber.

More net time.

Finally! Marty in the net.





Even from a distance you can see his eyes.





More action.

Thank the post later Marty, that didn't go in.
