Friend of the Blog Jeremy Roenick is this week’s focus.

Let’s address the elephant in the room first. Yes, for many Sharks fans, Jeremy Roenick’s comments about Patrick Marleau overshadow his tenure in teal. Roenick has never been kind to his former teammate. In 2011, he called Marleau’s performance “gutless” and questioned his heart after Game Five against of the Semifinals against the Detroit Red Wings. Three nights later, he largely retracted those remarks after the Sharks won Game Seven.

Then his autobiography came out in 2012. In it, Roenick said he came to Marleau’s house unannounced “around Thanksgiving” to try and instill some leadership into Marleau.
