6-3  200
may 21,1970 Pisek, Czech Rep.
drafted sixth round, 1990 (Minnesota North Stars)

nicknames- Czech goalie god, Eddie

what's cool-has Eddie, the Iron Maiden mascot on his new helmet which mucho ms snazzy than the old one.  (Seriously, the old one was kind of lame, sorry Roman.)
                      He also named his son Eddie.
                     According to Darryl Raeugh he was on-stage at a IM concert.
                     Roman really likes Iron Maiden apparently.
                     catches left
                      became a goalie as a kid becuase when they were handing out eqipment little Roman was last in line

what you need to know-Roman is much cooler that fellow Czech Dominic Hasek so when Dom is mentioned you ought to say that our Czech could kick buffalo's Czech goalie's ass.  What make Dom so cool, huh?  Why does everybody talk about him, eh? Roman is a gazillion time better, so there!
-He cathes left, which is unusual and confuses shooters

yell- the roman empire shall reign supreme
        "it's all about the tongue!" in refernce to the mask, what did you think we were talking about? sheesh

what's not so cool-Didn't know where Detroit was

What you need to know-

Things to yell-Push'em Push

Pushor practice story here: So the Stars are about to embark on a road trip to our Eastern Conference friends in Florida (the Lightning and the Panthers), and your favorite bunnies (bonniebunny and buttercupbunny (beckybunny was there, but inside skating) were at practice this wonderful Monday (3/27) because we didn't have school and where else would we be? Anyway, it was a terribly cute practice, as Mike Modano, Brett Hull, and Eddie Belfour were actually there, and we figured that it would be neat to see the guys getting on the bus with their suits on. Cutting to the Pushor part: the Stars are all on the bus and we make the realization that the bus wouldn't be pulling out past us, which made us sad because they MIGHT have waved to us if they drove past us. Well, the bus drives behind the StarsCenter and makes a right onto Cowboys, which was cool because that meant we could kinda see them driving away. Pushor was sitting towards the back of the bus, and even though he didn't have to, he waved to us. And it wasn't like a half-hearted wave, it was a full-out, BYE! and it was absolutely adorable, and it definitely made our day. To get the full practice story,

nick names: Danny boy, Big Game Dan (Ralph and Razor call him that because he tends to only appear in the lineup for important games) Big Country(some wrestling reference that is over our heads)
Danny doesn't play much and you gotta fell sorry for the healthy scratches.  He is pretty cute with those sparkling blue eyes and snazzy goatee.  Detroit fan hates him for a so-called dirty elbowing incident, but he's my honey cause he looks so cute when he's mad.

what's cool he often engages in jam sessions with Severyn on the bench bobbing his head and tapping his stick to the music
    -always very enthusiastic--once did a great face that looked like Turek's mask (apparently he didn't think a camera was on him)
-named daughter "Dakota"(I don't know why I think that's so cool)
