The best American player.........

to never win the cup,

and its not for lack of determination or skill

and if there is one player I would give up seeing my favorite team winning a cup so he could win it

it would be

Jeremy Roenick



Born Jan. 17 1970 in Boston, MA the 39 year old hockey warrior and fan favorite wherever he plays, has enjoyed a great NHL career. Only one thing is missing. Lord Stanley.

Drafted #8 overall in 1988 by the Chicago Blackhawks, Roenick has seen 20 seasons of NHL hockey. He has spent time with Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and now with San Jose. So far in those 20 years he has played in 1363 games, scoring 513 goals and 703 assist for 1216 points.

Maybe even more impressive than his regular season numbers are his playoff numbers. Roenick has played 154 NHL playoff games, scoring 53 goals and 69 assist for 122 all-time playoff points.

It doesn't matter what NHL sweater JR plays in, he is always well received by the fans. The guy is one of the most vocal players in a league that is dominated by a lot of dull, boring profesional athletes. The guy is also known for his Disco moves.



For Roenick, his 500th goal was only fitting to a player with the one of the most colorful personalities in all of sports. Check it out



The man is a unrestricted free agent, and it's up in the air if he will come back for another season. Personally I hope he does, either with the Sharks or another team that has a very legit shot at winning the Cup next season. Just one more season JR....call me selfish, but we will miss you every day after you hang up those skates.
