Jeremy Roenick is right, but he used poor judgment to say it like he did.  Deep down, Roenick probably wishes he had the talent that Marleau has.  Roenick was gritty, tough, and willing to do anything to win.  Marleau has probably lost more talent than Roenick ever had.  Problem is, teams that have more Roenick's on their team than Marleau's win in the playoffs. 

The other problem for the Sharks now is that Detroit has more people with Marleau's skill combined with Roenick's heart.  That is why they can still win the series.  The Sharks are younger, faster, stronger and, and, and.. Where have we heard this before.  But not a better team.  We see this every year about this time, and guess what, every year fans scream that Marleau is the problem.  Now we are hearing it from a former player. 

Lastly, where are Marleau's teammates?  I've heard announcers shoot back at Roenick, I heard that Marleau shot back, but haven't heard anyone else, the GM, the owner, no one..
