Sharks Gameday: I Heart Jeremy Roenick
San Jose Sharks (14-4-3) at Chicago Blackhawks (11-5-2), 4:00 PST
Note: For Sharks fans in the Chicago area that are going to the game, pick up a copy of the Committed Indian outside of the United Center. You'll see stuff from myself and Jason Plank of Fear The Fin.
It's Jeremy Roenick night at the United Center, and we should all celebrate how awesome Jeremy Roenick is. Oh, you mean Jeremy Roenick the actual hockey player? No, I meant the video game character. In honor of JR, both on the Sega Genesis and on the ice, here's why he was unstoppable:
As for JR the player -- whether he wore #27 or #97, he was still awesome. For me personally, being a Roenick fan has infiltrated much more of my life than any pro sports player should have.
Who's more inspired, JR's first team or his final team? I hope it's the latter.
The Blackhawk I Would Want On My Team: Can I pick JR circa 1993? No, that doesn't count. I'm gonna go with Duncan Keith, a guy who's reliable defensively, hard-nosed, and has a touch of offensive talent. You need shut-down guys like him, and right now, Keith's one of the best.
Prediction: Sharks 3, Blackhawks 2 (OT). Goals by Boyle, Marleau, and Setoguchi.

Thank you for making this a real battle of california
For the few years this blog has existed it has been uneven in it’s coverage of all 3 California teams which is understandable as the process to find dedicated bloggers for each team has taken time to sort it self out, but this year it seems everyone has stepped it up to really bring this blog to a new level. So I want to thank all of the bloggers here for your work and giving us California hockey fans some great perspectives on our favorite teams.
A special thanks to Mike Chen for helping represent the best hockey team in California. Keep up the sweet game day posts.
GO SHARKS!

I wouldn’t piss on Jeremy Roenick if he were on fire; not at first, anyway. First I’d go to the store and pick up some asparagus, some Monster energy drink and some Axe Body Spray. I’d eat the Asparagus and swallow it down with the Monster energy drink and then go back to where a hopefully smoldering Jeremy Roenick is lying. After his body has been burned down to ashes, I’d piss all over him, concentrating mostly where I think his mouth would have been. (It’d be tough, because he’s all ashes, but I’d give it my best shot.) Then I’d spray him down with the Axe Body Spray and hide behind a rock or building so that when the coroners got there they’d exclaim, “Boy, Jeremy Roenick sure does smell terrible!”
Then I’d complain about the cut of my skates to distract from the fact that I’m old and suck at hockey.
The West Coast is the Best Coast.

Ha, very nice. I don’t heart Jeremy Roenick either, but I do heart eliminating the guy.

Makes me think of Obi-Wan pissing on Anakin in Episode 3. Which is a good thought.
Lol, just kidding. This post was a complete lie.

Let the battle of Duncan Keith begin. Of the big 3 that Chicago might lose, Keith is probably the best asset out there for a struggling team. Of course, my team needs D desperately so that’s probably why I think that.
