"My husband loves his goalie more than me" -Matt Martin's wife has hilarious take as Ilya Sorokin saves 22 shots for the New York Islanders

Matt Martin is a Canadian professional ice hockey winger for the New York Islanders. He is well-known for his strong checking abilities and also holds the NHL record for most hits in a season.

Sydney Esiason Martin, wife of Matt Martin took to Twitter and wrote about his husband:

"I think my husband loves his goalie more than me"

Sydney Martin's tweet about her husband's, Matt Martin, love for his goalie reveals a sense of humor and a touch of jealousy.

While it is unlikely that her husband loves his goalie more than her, it is possible that he has a deep attachment to his sport. Like the greatest players, Matt Martin must have respect for the sport and the equipment that allows him to perform at his best.

The Islanders have their first Eastern Conference wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, one point ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have three games in hand.

Zach Parise said:

"We're going to be playing a lot of these type of tight games"

The New York Islanders scored 4 goals in their 3rd game, defeating the Detroit Red Wings. The Islanders rallied to defeat the Red Wings 4-1 at UBS Arena on Saturday, thanks to two goals from Anders Lee in the third period.

New York (32-25-8) scored all four of its goals in the third period, thanks to Kyle Palmieri's goal and assist. Ilya Sorokin came up with 22 saves.

Islanders captain Lee said:

"We just weren't able to bury some of our chances the first 40 minutes. If we [continued] to play the way we were, we knew we'd at least get our looks. So we just stayed on top of it and didn't falter from our game plan and the way we were playing."

A look at Matt Martin's NHL team New York Islanders.

The New York Islanders have been performing exceptionally well over the past two months. They are considered one of the most successful teams in hockey during this period.

The New York Islanders improved their scoring ability by obtaining Bo Horvat, who addressed their need for strong goal scorers. Zach Parise also contributed to their offensive output, but not as effectively as Horvat and Mathew Barzal.

Matt Martin is a New York Islanders veteran and is in his twelveth season for the Isles. He was signed as a free agent by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2016 and was later traded back to the Islanders in exchange for Eamon McAdam in 2018.

In his 892-game career, Matt Martin has 77 goals and 91 assists tallying 168 points overall.

He is married to Sydney Esiason, making Matt Martin's father-in-law, former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason.

Scott Mayfield has been an impressive player for the New York Islanders this season, but hasn't received the recognition he deserves in the NHL. Mayfield is the leader in blocks and defensive point shares for the Islanders, indicating his importance to the team's defense.

The Islanders possess two of the most underappreciated goalies in the NHL. Ilya Sorokin has had a tremendous season for the team, and has been crucial in keeping the team's recent momentum going.

While Sorokin's goals-against average (GAA) may not be exceptional, his save percentage of .926 is significantly higher than the league's average.
