MARTINEK TWEETS
by Staff Writer / New York Islanders
CurtisP11 Radek, Who was your favourite player and team when growing up? Did you always want to play in the NHL growing up?Growing up in Europe I didn't know many NHL players. I looked up to Fetisov (Russian D) and Paul Coffey later on.
I remember having a picture of the Capitals. I liked the name! I just wanted to play hockey. My NHL goal came much later.
katieescee Radek, what was your favorite season that you played with the islanders?My first season was my favorite (06-07). We made the playoffs at the last possible moment and I got to be part of it.
DOhockey11 Martinek, what has been your most memorable moment as a New York Islander?In my first season when I got to see Trottier's number hung up in the Coliseum. That was something.
