We already knew this, but it is always interesting to get confirmation:

Q: Why did you struggle so much at the start of this season?

A: I struggled 'cause I couldn't get my skates sharpened the way I like. I wasn't confident in my footing. I wasn't confident in my feet. When you feel like you're going to fall down and you're off balance, you're going to struggle.

Q: So, it was an equipment issue?

A: Yeah it was.
What a fucking lame ass excuse. LOL!

Q: What would you like to tell hockey fans who don't know as much about Jeremy Roenick as they should?

A: That I'm not as cocky and brash and arrogant as my media persona may dictate.
Try not acting like a cocku, brash, arrogant asshole then.

Q: Now that you've had a few weeks to reflect, how do you react to being left off the U.S. Olympic team?

A: I'm pissed. I feel extremely disrespected. I am right up there with any American to ever play the game. Look at Shane Doan. He has struggled all this year, but he has been in the Canadian system for years, and Canada has respect for the guys that have won medals for them, so they selected him. That wasn't the case with the U.S. I think it was totally disrespectful. I have no love for USA Hockey at this point. If they ask me to do anything for USA Hockey again, it will not be done.
Fucking selfish crybaby.

Q: Do you deserve the title of "Greatest American-born NHL player ever?"

A: I think it's a tie between me and Mike Modano. In my opinion, Modano is one of the best players ever to play the game, regardless of where he was born. His talent is second to none. I have had to do it more with grit and fight and all-out work. Mike is more talented. But I think that's a question that will be raised a lot, who is better, Mike or me.
Wow. So humble. And he does it through hard work- Modano is just lucky. This guy needs to hang out with Matt Leinart.
