    By everyone but Roenick, yes.

    Didn't like the way he completely mailed in his "season" here in LA, but for the most part, he was fun to watch and a trip to listen to on interviews.

    Yes, he's a Hall-of-Famer.

    I thought the really remarkable thing was his sales job to Phoenix: "Yeah, I absolutely mailed it in last year in LA... but this year I'm gonna be great!" Lucky for him the Coyotes leadership is dumb as dirt.

    Yeah that was remarkable, PC. Even Dave Taylor -- before he got fired -- didn't fall for that.

    Which, in itself, was remarkable, given the "quality" of free-agents Taylor signed during his tenure in the front office.

    Jeremy Roenick in NHL 94 for Sega was one of the greatest video game athletes ever. Right up there with the Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson.

    True. But I loved Dave Taylor as a player, so I'm pretending the whole GM thing never happened.

    What team would you go into the Hall under? Flyers? Coyotes?

    Blackhawks. That's where he made his name.

    This video game talk makes me think of the magical commercials Roenick and Tracy Morgan did for ESPN NHL '04 Hockey.

    You and me both, PC.

    You and me both.

    Hall of Fame, Roenick should go in as a Coyote, not Flyer.

    Colour commentator...please no!

    Coach Roenick would be an interesting and entertaining possibility at some point. ;) ;D
