Pushor to Syracuse for workouts

3mta3 · 11-17-2003, 03:15 AM

According to The Dispatch this morning, Pushor was in town yesterday and is now headed to Syracuse to begin working out. He says he is already in shape and that all he needs is a job.

Looks like we may be seeing our first 2 time Blue Jacket.

Anybody is better than Walser. Still, Pushover isn't that great...him and Ericksson are about equal IMO.

Maybe if Pushor plays well enough, he can stay on the rest of the season in Columbus as the 7th D-man. Walser then can go back to the AHL where he belongs.

I didn't think Pushor was that bad. Perhaps with an improved supporting cast he can perform reliably. I hope he'll get a fair look in Syracuse.

Pushor, like Odelein, would be a decent 5, 6 or 7 guy. Just dont ask him to be on the top pair again.

I just hope to God you change that avatar pronto. That thing is very disturbing. Funny as hell, but I cringe everytime I read one of your posts.

That bad, eh? I prolly ought to change it before I make everyone's "ignore list".

If it's THAT bad, I'll change it this evening.

I've got to go to school right now.

Punks.

Oh God. You just made my heart skip a beat. If we were to compile a list of "worst blue jacket players ever," Timmander would be by #1 vote getter. That guy was horrible.

ROBERT KRON -- he skates fast, he sucks ass

Gentlemen, never underestimate the ineptitude of one Steve Maltais. At least Timander got us something in return when we bailed on him.

While I'll agree that Pushor might not be more than a 6th-7th D-man on a play-off caliber team, IMO he was an integral part of the successes of the Year One CBJ, and I'd take the effort that team played with---on a daily basis---over any of the subsequent CBJ editions.

That said, bring back Selivanov!!

jacketracket* · 11-19-2003, 03:29 AM

Frankie Kucera doesn't seem to get much play on these boards---I wonder what his status is. Last I knew, he had been the Cap's most reliable D-man two years ago, and then they decided not to bring him back.

Any thoughts? Seemed to be a good expansion-type player---a veteran who was good in the locker room, good on the PK,.....

KallioWeHardlyKnewYe · 11-19-2003, 04:36 AM

With the D dropping like flies so far ... I'd gladly take Pushor or Kucera at this point.

I know that nobody could foresee the injury situation w/D-men before it played out, but doesn't Captain Lyle and his .5M one-year contract in Fla look good right now.

No, it doesn't.

I'd rather have Kucera. Any day.

Hes in the Cezch Republic. Im pretty sure the Caps wanated to bring him back, but he didnt want to move over again and do that to his family.
