Jeremy Roenick Got All Verklempt Last Night
ByTalk amongst yourselves, the neutral zone trap is neither neutral, a zone, nor a trap. Discuss.
I guess it’s true: boys do cry. That Robert Smith’s full of shit, man. And Mike Milbury, you’re kind of a dick.
But seriously folks, how about that? Roenick’s emotions got the best of him last night as he watched the Chicago Blackhawks, the team he played his first eight years in the NHL for, celebrate winning the Stanley Cup, something he was never able to do despite a brilliant career. While a lot of people are giving him crap for tearing up, I would like to commend Roenick for being honest and open about the emotions that flooded over him in the heat of the moment. Good for him. Now I feel a little bit better about myself for crying every time I watch The Notebook, which, in terms of emotional experiences , is pretty much on par with hoisting Lord Stanley’s Cup, right? Right?
COME ON! HE STAYED WITH HER THROUGH ALZHEIMER’S, DAMMIT!!

Good for JR – “its the chicago black hawks man” that says it all. We always considered JR our guy – even after he got screwed and left Chicago. Glad he was there – maybe he can finally cut his ties with his playing years for the Filthy Flyers.
Thank you for touching how awesome of a moment this was. Especially for those longtime Blackhawks and JR fans, his emotions were very real and appreciated. He meant a ton to the city and always will. Those who have been shitting on JR’s tears probably drink their own pee anyways.
