Radek Dvořák Retires

[Retire91]

wow 1200 games .5 PPG that is awesome and a heck of a career. Wish him the best

 

[Proust*]

Did you bonk your head?

Forget Bonk.

Another former Ottawa Senator, Radek HAMR, is the best Radek of all-time. He truly lived up to his name. A physical beast who would hit everything in sight and had a blistering slap-shot. When he put the hamr down, the ice would crack.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Wish him all the best in retirement

 

[Diamondillium]

He's actually one of the only two players I have something autographed from. Him and Petr Nedved were the only booths open when my family went to an Oilers autograph session back in the day when I was a wee lad.

I always liked him since then. Good career, hope he enjoys retirement.

 

[NYRantLftyC19]

Absolutely loved him when he was with the Rangers.. my favorite player from the Czech posse...

 

[SladeWilson23]

Had a nice career.

 

[The Pale King]

Nice career, cup finalist in his rookie season with FLA, then again ten years later. He was due for a trip back if he would have stuck around til next year.

590 points as a forward, and only cracked 20 goals twice. That's the dead puck era for you.

Heard all kinds of rumors about his relationship with Roman Hamrlik...

Well that just sound impractical.

 

[PG Canuck]

Very nice career. Good luck in retirement to him.

 

[Wheatking]

I used to call him Mr. Hit The Post.

He had some bad luck when he was an Oiler. It kind of made him more likeable because you knew his stats didn't do him justice.

 

[weaponomega]

I remember when he was drafted. It was the first draft I ever watched on TV. The Bruins selected Kyle McLaren. Doesn't seem that long ago. But 1200 games wow. LIke someone else said - Maybe the quietest 1200 game career ever.

Congrat on the career though.

 

[FlaPnthrsPunk]

He's one of my all-time favorite players as he was with the Panthers twice and long-term. He gave every shift his all and was excellent on the penalty kill.

He's also the last player from the 1996 Panthers Eastern Conference Champions team to hang them up.

Good luck with with retirement, Dvo!

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

always enjoyed him and loved his time in Raleigh. Sad to see him go, but best of luck sir

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

He was a good one. A solid career and a class act.

 

[Sadekuuro]

Quietest 1200+ game career ever

Have a good one

Would you believe Luke Richardson played over 1400?

Ed Jovonovski is still not technically retired. I think, at least.

Retirement[edit]
Radek Dvorak retired on January 27, 2015, after 18 seasons and 1,260 games in the NHL. Radek was the best player to ever play hockey. Better than Gretzky even

Found this on his wikipedia.
