00:00Hey, you ready for some numbers on Martian?

00:01This will get into his legacy.

00:02Because I argued, before he even won a cup in Florida,

00:05I considered him a greater Bruin than Bergeron.

00:09And I still feel that way.

00:11I feel like he's a better player than Bergeron even more

00:13now that he went elsewhere and won.

00:14He never won any Selkies.

00:16But he got Selkie votes.

00:17He got a lot of heart votes.

00:18He got Selkie votes.

00:19Bergeron got a ton of Selkie votes.

00:21In fact, the most votes.

00:21He did.

00:22But what would you rather get?

00:23Heart votes or Selkie votes?

00:24Probably heart votes.

00:25Okay, thank you.

00:25How many Lady Bings?

00:26I don't know.

00:27I think Bergeron...

00:28Martian, dirty player.

00:29I wasn't getting any of those.

00:30What's the opposite of the Lady Bings?

00:31I was looking at it this morning.

00:32I believe Bergeron was top 10 in heart votes once.

00:35Won a bunch of Selkies, though.

00:36Great.

00:37Martian was a good two-way player, too.

00:38He got Selkie votes all the time, but actually got MVP votes.

00:41Unlike Bergeron outside of one season.

00:42Are you saying a better career or a better Bruin?

00:44Well, I'm sorry.

00:44I already thought he was a better Bruin just when he was here,

00:46is what I meant to say.

00:47But now that he's gone, left and won with Florida,

00:49I don't even think it's a debate.

00:51158 career points in the playoffs.

00:52That's the second most for any player since he made his NHL debut in 2019.

00:59Only three players in history have more 10-plus-point postseasons than Martian.

01:04Their names are Gretzky, Messier, and Beliveau.

01:07His 66 playoff goals since he entered the league second most by any player.

01:11He has 16 game-winning goals in the playoffs.

01:13That's the most in that stretch.

01:14He won his cup in 11.

01:16He won another cup now.

01:18You can go on and on down the list.

01:20He's closing in on 1,000 points for his career.

01:22Bergeron won a Clancy.

01:24That didn't do it for you?

01:25No.

01:25Did it get you going?

01:27He did get a lot of Bing votes, actually.

01:28They were both captains of the Bruins that wildly underachieved.

01:31Bergeron's team's failed.

01:32Marchand's team this year's failed spectacularly.

01:34I think it's a debate for who is the better Bruin.

01:36I think now once you tag on the whole career.

01:39This whole cup.

01:40An extra cup.

01:41Okay, fine.

01:41And like a great playoff run?

01:42I'll meet you there.

01:43Then I'll say, okay.

01:44Let's debate just their Bruins tenure.

01:45Fine.

01:45Let's debate that.

01:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:47You want to get to actual greater career?

01:49Plus, he's not done.

01:50Marchand now.

01:50Exactly.

01:51Yeah.

01:51Marchand now.

01:52He's not looking bad.

01:53Because he'll probably tag on another at least, what, 20 goals?

01:56How many goals did he end up with the year?

01:58So he had 23 in the regular season.

01:59I was going to say low.

02:00So it wasn't a great scoring year.

02:03But it's not nothing.

02:04And then you're just adding to your overall total.

02:07So he's at 424 for goals.

02:11So he'll need a couple.

02:12If he's going to get to that 500 number, he's going to need a few more years to go.

02:16But he might play three more years.

02:17I think he's getting a three-year deal.
