Telling fans to kiss your ass is a GREAT way to win them back. Way to go JR!

I think he's right; I guess I should kiss his ass. I can't believe how stupid and selfish I've been. I apologize to all the NHL players.

Say what you will about JR, but I respect him for speaking up while the rest of the lemmings march happily towards the cliff...
Bottom line is he got exactly the reaction he was looking for and his comments put the NHL back on the front page...you can't buy PR like that...

I have no problem with anything he said in that interview. he makes good points, except for the fan comments, other than that he is right.

Loved the 1992 playoffs reference; when the hawks got smoked by the pen's in the finals. Poor hawks.

Oh, the guy is definitely a schmuck, don't get me wrong. In fact, all these guys are. They get paid millions to play an f'in child's game (not that it is not a tremendous game at that)! But it's not like they are going out and researching a cure for cancer for god's sake! Such self righteousness and egotism disgusts me! We pay these dicks all this $$ and they say shit like this, kill people in ferrari's (Heatley), drive their trucks into trees (Chiasson), committ adultry with the wives of fellow team mates (Shannahan), do coke and get caught in the windsor tunnel (Proby) and are basically big sluts that cheat on their wives (Chelios / Hull / etc.).

Emperor,
When he was on the blues, he banged craig janney's wife. I had never heard of this until I moved to Kansas City (many blues fans here). He also banged some prevalent newscasters' daughter. These were partially the cause of his trade to Hartford in like 95-96.
