500 for JR
Jeremy Roenick achieved the milestone that was the impetus behind him postponing his retirement last night. The 500th goal of this nearly two decade career.
The goal itself was probably the most unusual of his career as well, as Roenick looked to be dumping the puck deep, and it took an odd bounce and was inadvertantly directed into the net by Phoenix netminder Alex Auld. The goal stood up as the game winner as well, as the San Jose Sharks went on to defeat the Phoenix Coyotes 4-1.
Congratulations JR!
Quick Shave:
Anyone stay up late to watch the Dallas Stars against the Los Angeles Kings last night? Yeah, neither did I, and I'm sorry I didn't. I resubmit my aforementioned statement that the Kings are a blast to watch, and are perhaps going to be this season's Cardiac Kids. The Dallas Stars had a very comfortable 4-0 lead going into the third period before the Los Angeles Kings scored 5 unanswered goals and took the 5-4 lead. Modano scored the tying goal late in the third to force overtime for the Stars. Kings sophomore forward Anze Kopitar scored the game winner midway through the extra period to cap comeback win 6-5. Watch the highlights. The announcers are beyond hilarious during this one.
Your friend on ice,
Captain Bosh

Gotta take your hat off for JR. After last season, this guy was done. He's not blowing away the world this season or anything, but he's definitely holding his own. A huge moment for him and what a shame if he had actually retired before reaching this mark!
Way to go JR!
