Overtime Podcast: Season 2 - Ep 20 - Marty Biron
We are joined by Marty Biron who was a first round draft choice of the Buffalo Sabres, 16th overall in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft. Marty went on to play over 17 seasons – all but 3 in the state of New York, with the Sabres, Islanders and Rangers. He one of only 6 NHL players ever to play for all three NHL franchises. Biron spent the other 3 seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers and was key part of their 2008 Stanley Cup playoff run after missing the playoffs the previous seasons.
He spent his first nine seasons with the Buffalo Sabres replacing Dominick Hasek as their starting goaltender and becoming a fan favourite with Sabre fans. He then moved on to spend 3 seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers, one season with the Islanders, before closing out his career as a New York Rangers in 2013. Biron left the game with a very respectable 230 wins, a Goals Against Average of 2.61 and a .910 save percentage.
Since retiring, he has remained in the Buffalo community, and has developed a strong broadcasting career as a Studio analyst with the Sabres Live Network, the MSG Network, the NHL Network and the NHL Broadcast Team at TSN in Canada.
