Kings' Martinez pokes fun at Canes' Williams on moving day
Newly signed Carolina Hurricanes winger Justin Williams knows a thing or two about taking home a trophy.
So, when Williams began packing for his move to the Tar Heel state Wednesday, there were a few items that needed to be packed with a little extra bubble wrap.

Los Angeles defenseman Alec Martinez won a ring with Williams in 2014 while they were each members of the Kings, scoring the Cup-winning goal in overtime, and took the opportunity to chirp his former teammate:
Hopefully your shoe collection gets lost in the move

Williams promptly responded with a little humility - and a mild defense of his taste in footwear:
Not all of us can score cup clinchers...the rest of us have to switch teams every now and then😉you wish u had my shoe game#sickstyle

It's possible that Williams rocks questionable kicks, but what we do know for sure is that the guy can produce when it counts the most. A fact that isn't lost on Martinez:
Says the 3x cup winner, Conn Smythe winner, and #mrgame7. If only your knack for your shoe style was half your ability to produce in game 7s

In 2017-18, the Hurricanes will be hoping that Williams can replicate that "Mr. Game 7" mentality all season long.
