As per USA Hockey Paul Martin out and Justin Faulk will make his Olympic debut.

[Gulp] What a game to make your debut.

Martin is a BIG miss. C'mon, boys.

[bh]

What happened to PMart?

[Gaucho]

crap ...

[MarioLives]

So is Martin sick or hurt?

[DelPen]

So is Martin sick or hurt?

Yes

[darkstar57]

So is Martin sick or hurt?

Unconfirmed report that Martin had a cast on one hand, again unconfirmed

Never mind I have seen other reports that he is ill,

[tfrizz]

Wonder what the deal with Martin is? They can't just be scratching him for Justin Faulk.

DK is speculating he's ill.

Been a lot of players battling illness over there.

[PghSkins]

In Soviet Russia, you annoy annoying arena horn

Or something

Word is, Paul Martin has the stomach flu, same at Rask. I'm surprised I haven't come down with something at this point.

Jennifer Floyd Engel ‏@engeljen 3m
Saw Team USA's Paul Martin yesterday in cast-ish thing. Gave my word not to report injury. My word>scoop. Can say now that he's devastated.

TSN 1200 ‏@TSN1200 10m
FOX Sports reporting that USA D Paul Martin has a cast on his hand.

Poor Paul Martin. He wanted so badly to participate in these Olympics.

[MarioLives]

More selfishly, poor Pittsburgh Penguins and poor me.....

its like a little petri dish. i blame bob costas' eyes

[Avyran]

This ice looks pretty bad.

I mean, pretty par for the rest of the olympics, but still pretty bad.

[llipgh2]

Ok, there are conflicting reports about what the deal is with Martin. He has the flu, or a cast on his hand.

I hope he's just puking his guts out...

[tfrizz]

Poor Paul Martin. He wanted so badly to participate in these Olympics.

He'll still get his participation ribbon for playing on the 4th place team

[llipgh2]

Come on Finland...

[columbia]

I want to see Jussi tie this up.

[PensFanInDC]

**** Canada

So what is the real story with Martin? Cast or stomach bug?

[Gaucho]

I managed to miss the 3rd period. I'm terrible at watching hockey at reasonable hours.
