Jeremy Roenick tells it like it is.

Apparently these comments by Jeremy Roenick offended some that were watching the post game on Versus last night. Personally, I don't have a problem with them what-so-ever; I think that Jeremy Roenick's comments were an honest assessment of a player that he noticed not to be playing as good as he could. It is what it is; Jeremy Roenick challenged Patrick Marleau level of commitment and effort that’s all.

I mean think about this; according to Cap Geek, Patrick Marleau is paid 6.9 million dollars a year to play hockey for the San Jose Sharks. In your opinion are the San Jose Sharks getting Patrick Marleau's full potential with (2g-3a-5pts) in 11 games and has a grand total of "ZERO" points in the second round of the playoffs against the Redwings, personally in my opinion that's unacceptable for an elite player in the NHL.

I am going to break this down further. What's wrong with telling it like it is and straight talk? Jeremy Roenick is paid by Versus/NBC to give his opinion of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and to break down the games that he is watching from the perspective of a former NHL hockey player. I mean seriously, what is wrong with that? Have we become so thin skinned that we can't listen to an honest critique of a particular player(s) and or of a hockey? I hope we are not going down that road to being a nation of whiny ninnies that are so afraid to listen to an honest but relevant opinion.
