The One Where Jeremy Roenick Leaves A Voicemail Saying The Flyers Didn't Have The Balls To Win The Cup And Tells A Philly Fan To Fuck Himself

Our tipster, like all hockey people in this city, is die hard Flyers and when granted the opportunity to talk to former Flyer, Blackhawk (as well as Coyote, King and Shark) Jeremy Roenick, he jumped at the chance. However, he didn’t hold back about giving JR a piece of his mind about his tears of joy after Chicago beat Philly 3 years ago:

“It’s the Chicago Blackhawks, man.” Still pisses me off. Granted, Roenick played longer for Chicago (1988-1996) than in Philadelphia (2001-2005), but people have to realize that was still a huge kick to the dick of Philly fans. Dude was beloved and an all-star when he was here, too. Put it on fucking lock down a little bit on national television being paid as an unbiased analyst.

So it’s perfectly justifiable for a Philly fan to give Roenick shit about this, forget about 3 years later, but for the rest of his life. The fan just didn’t know JR would track down his cell number and leave him this voicemail:

JR is known for giving shit back so the fans, and quite frankly, I respect this move. Dude doesn’t give a fuck and sounds like he’s kind of playing around. But saying he would’ve cried if the Flyers won, too? He’s not playing there and that’s as two faced for the camera as it gets. I don’t care if you’re heart lies with one of the greatest video game teams of all-time, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Especially with a fan base who still cups the nuts of two teams from 40 years ago and won’t let go until we win it again. Can’t mess with us like that.

But, hey, NHL ’94 Blackhawks with Roenick, Chelios, Smith and Belfour may be the second greatest video game team of all-time behind the 1990 Techmo Bowl Philadelphia Eagles. So Jeremy’s got that going for him, which is nice.
