Jeremy did it Saturday night and against his former team and coach! Signing up with the Sharks was the smarter move since it never was going to happen as a member of the last-place Coyotes; they’re in that spot now with the Pacific and trust me, they’re likely to be there for the Western Conference and the entire league by the end of the season. According to the story, it was a rather odd or sloppy goal accidently knocked in by the goalie. That’s what I get for being sick, I missed out on the news and ESPN eating crow.
Roenick is now the third US-born player to achieve 500 goals (not bad, two in a decade for the States) and the 40th player in the NHL to reach this milestone. If he continues to score at the rate he’s averaging with the Sharks, JR will easily finish above Joe Mullen and I think that’s a decent target because Mike Modano is too far ahead with 512.
