Islanders News: Matt Martin, ruthless sniper

If I were in charge of federal research grants or MacArthur genius grants or whatever the hell you people with access to discretionary funding to better understand our world want to call it, I would absolutely authorize a deep study into what Matt Martin was thinking last night.

I’m still overcome with curiosity about how the Islanders “fourth-line” forward, arguably the least talented of that trio (although Cal, he’s clearly coming for you), decided to shoot from the corner, behind the goal line, at the back of a hapless Sabres goalie’s head, to pick up his first of two goals last night.
