Martinek re-injured....

If it weren't for bad luck, Islanders defenseman Radek Martinek wouldn't have any luck at all. Martinek, who apparently banged up his right shoulder in Saturday's win over Ottawa was back on the ice during practice today at Iceworks in Syosset when he accidentally collided with teammate Andy Sutton.

The impact wasn't especially hard, but Martinek headed to the bench with his right shoulder hanging a bit. He was examined by trainer Garrett Timms and then headed for the locker room. A few minutes later, Martinek emerged in the suit he brought to wear on the plane to Washington this afternoon, but there was an obvious lump on his shoulder where the ice bag was taped.

Presumably, he was headed out to get an examination. Coach Scott Gordon had no immediate details on Martinek's status, but it obviously doesn't look good for him in terms of playing against the Capitals tomorrow night at the Verizon Center. Gordon said he has to consult with general manager Garth Snow about the decision on a replacement, but Thomas Pock practiced with the team and would be the logical choice since Bruno Gervais (leg) still is nursing his injuries.

"It's unfortunate," said defenseman Brendan Witt, Martinek's regular partner. "Marty's a good competitor. I feel bad for the guy when stuff like this happens. But he's resilient. We'll just have to do without him for a little bit…He's been tender here and there, but he's managed to battle through it."

ISLES FILES: Forwards Kyle Okposo (right hand), Nate Thompson (foot) and Mike Comrie (right hip) remain out…C Mike Sillinger skated with LW Mitch Fritz and RW Tim Jackman and will make his first start since last January. He worked on the power play, and one would expect his faceoff prowess to result in significant ice time in the third period, especially if the Isles are in the position of protecting a lead.

I think I'd rather have Skinner up instead.

It's too bad about Radek.

I saw the hit Martinek took at the game up close. It was right against the glass in front of me in 109...he got REALLY smashed against the glass...basically he looked like Glass Joe from Punch-Out!! after Lil' Mac gave him an uppercut.

I was surprised he even played again during that game.
This is my signature.

He's been ineffective anyway. At least you know when he's healing, he won't hurt himself.

I like Radek, but c'mon, he's been injured an awful lot over last season and now this one. I mean, he just got back like two games ago.

He needs to be bubble wrapped.

It's not like he's out of control on the ice. He just does not seem able to brace for a hit and always gets the worst end of it. Even when it is he who is doing the hitting, he seems to get the short end.

Oh, well, we're thin on D again. What else is new.

I don't get the Italian line either :dontknow:

Don't Care. still my favorite player since he (no pun intended) broke into the league.
the guy is a good solid hockey player, with a lot of bad luck, obviously he injured it in the ottawa game and the collision with Sutton just made it worse.

How are people not getting that line from a Christmas Story?

After all, "Its a major award!"

Perhaps if it was spelled "FRA-GI-LE" ?


There is nothing like "electric sex" displayed in the window.



As for Martinek, man o man, this guy is so injury prone he gets hurt just looking at an ice rink. Love him as a player, but thank god I'm not his health insurance provider
I miss these :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: and want more of them

I think Martinek's great, but he makes Brett Lindros look like Steve Larmer.
