Roenick Blackballed

J. R.'s nose is out of joint - and not because of a recent blow to the head. It's because he was not named to the U.S. Olympic Team.

"To not have the opportunity to go back one more time and try and win the gold is obviously, in my opinion, very disrespectful."

There were 13 forwards named:
Mike Modano, Doug Weight, Brian Gionta, Jason Blake, Mark Parrish, Erik Cole, Craig Conroy, Scott Gomez, Mike Knuble, Chris Drury, Bill Guerin, Brian Rolston, and Keith Tkachuk.

I would sure like to know which one of the above Jeremy thinks he should replace.

In fact, that goes for any player whinging about their icetime. Any windbag with a swelled head who has the nerve to moan in the media about how many minutes he plays should also have the guts to name precisely who he thinks should play less to accommodate him.
