Talk:Kevin Martin (curler)

To do a Martin
"Martin is known for his ability to pull off near-impossible shots in complex situations, to the degree where other curlers have been using the expression "to do a Martin", meaning to attempt such a shot." Well, this doesn't seem very encyclopedic to me. And I don't think "do a martin" + curling googles very well. Unless someone comes up with some really good arguments for keeping it, I think it should go. Greswik (talk) 08:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Update, talking to myself: I took it away. I think it is unencyclopedic, and I wasn't impressed by the g-results. Greswik (talk) 22:26, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Lougheed
The town Lougheed, Alberta is not referred to by name in the article. This is the town where he grew up and first learned to curl on a 2-sheeter.
