Came across Roenick's site and blog---I have always loved JR's attitude and this makes for good reading since he is no longer affiliated legally with the NHL

He kind of looks like James Woods sitting there, don't you think?

Good stuff on that site.

I don't think Philly and new York hate each other the most.

Some interesting comments later on in the blog...

"Thank Goodness coach Tippett has brought some stability and structure to the talented Phoenix Coyotes, it shows that when a coach puts time and effort into their team, they get results."

It looks like a backhander to Gretzky... I guess he wasn't a fan...
Anyone know the history there?

I'm guessing he just said what most people thought...Gretzky isn't a good coach.

Most great players make crappy coaches. Fact. You'd think that alone would get me an NHL coaching job.

I wonder if JR will ever get into coaching. I wouldnt mind if Philly offered him a role like that - assistant coach for Phantoms and see where it goes from there.

I think JR will become a TV analyst given his outspoken personality.

What I like about JR is that he has no problem speaking his mind. But also that he doesn't have a problem admitting he was wrong if he changes his mind later. He's not afraid of being wrong. It makes for entertaining reading.

I dont; think he would be acepted as a tv analyst full time for that reason----he just doesn't like to tow the company line ya know-he calls 'em as he sees 'em and won;t give the "standard answer"--however if the price is right I am sure he COULD tow the company line...........
