JR Calls Marleau Effort "Gutless" On National TV

((HT: Versus/NHL/youtube))

Just when you thought the titanium jaw would hold back, Jeremy Roenick let the San Jose Sharks' Patrick Marleau have it with both barrels...

Here's the best parts...


Nothing like calling out a former teammate...

Others weren't so kind in responding to Roenick...

"Jeremy Roenick is interested only in furthering his broadcast career," said Sharks TV announcer Randy Hahn on Twitter. "His take on Marleau was WAY over the line. Many bridges were burned."

Jeremy Roenick was a guest pimping the puck last week on the "Dan Patrick Show..."

Before and after his live guestitude, he checked Paulie into the boards- a lifeling dream for the Blackhawks fan... and both checked and gave McLovin a free shot on his titanium jaw...

The only winners were hockey and, of course, JR...

Next For JR: Dancing Without Skates...???

San Jose Sharks forward Jeremy Roenick made it official Thursday, announcing his retirement as an NHL player after a career that spanned 20 seasons.

Roenick is one of the best American-born players in NHL history. However, his colorful career ended on a sour note last Spring when the top-seeded Sharks were eliminated in the first-round of the playoffs by the upstart Ducks.

He spent his final two seasons with the Sharks, but also was a star player for the Blackhawks, Flyers, Kings and Coyotes

What's next for Roenick? He told NBC Bay Area that 'Dancing with the Stars' has been in contact with him, as well as other TV opportunities.

Roenick is the third-leading American-born scorer in hockey history with 1,216 points.

Roenick choked up during his farewell news conference.

He leaves the game as one of four American who scored 500 or more goals. He scored 513 overall.

Roenick also had 703 assists in 1,363 regular-season games with the Chicago Blackhawks, Phoenix Coyotes, Philadelphia Flyers, Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks.

Roenick scored 53 goals and 69 assists in 154 games with the Blackhawks, Coyotes, Flyers and Sharks in the Stanley Cup playoffs. He played with the 1991 Chicago team that captured the Presidents' Trophy and went to the Stanley Cup Final.

He contributed to the 2004 Philadelphia team that went to the Eastern Conference Final.
