i 💙JR. he may have had negative qualities, but he embodied qualities that canadian and american blue-collar guys could appreciate: he gave it all he could on the ice and he actually cared about the fans working hard to earn money to come to the arena. as an aside tracy deserves credit for staying loyal to JR when she could have sprinted for the hills. and she is still very beautiful now as she was in her prime years.
What kept JR out of the Hall was so called writers who constantly tripped over their bottom lips dealing with Roenick. That’s exactly why they should Reveal every person who voted against him. Personalities should never count. JR should have been in years ago. The highest scoring U.S. born player, and 4th highest point total.
He definitely needs to be put in have no idea how the first Russian player to leave the way he did and be such a skilled star how he not in the hall is bonkers
@@thomaspreszcator He must have gotten himself blacklisted by the media. Hockey journos make up a sizable portion of the election committee. Enough to block him is my guess. He was known for being unfriendly to the media, but maybe it was to the degree that they refuse to acknowledge how incredible he was. His overall performance was also blended enough to make the worst appraisal of him make it seem like his status is questionable (I don't think it is but I can see how someone would make that case). He won more cups than Bure (1, missed 2 by a game 7 loss) but fewer than Fedorov. He wasn't as much of a centerpiece of either SCF team he played on to garner the merit Bure did in his one SCF appearance. His other playoff performances were marred by bad luck (Bure's injury in '96 making them overall pretty lame 'nucks, and they also had to face the eventual champion Avalanche in the first round; broken ankle in '93; and concussion as payback from JR himself in '03. When he got off to statistically productive starts in the playoffs, he got hurt and his team got eliminated early). He had hot years and cold years, but was hurt enough to make his overall point production look less impressive than it was. Had he played full seasons early on, his point totals would have been consistently staggering, instead of making '93 and '96 look like they were exceptional years. His choice not to participate for Team Russia after the '96 World Cup limited their success and his overall stature in the eyes of the Hall. Even with all that, it's ridiculous he's being excluded. He deserves to be there far ahead of a lot of the recent inductees.
I don't get it. So what he was his true, authentic self all his life. That's the problem in society.. everyone wants everyone to fall in line. That's not a life, being your true, authentic self is a real life worth living. JR was pure passion. I loved watching him play and talk. He didn't give a fuck about what anyone thought about him. Ever. He deserves to be there 100%.
It's not about "Falling in line" it's about being a decent human being and not being rewarded for saying hateful things. Right wingers call it "Being canceled", but what it actually is is just a boycott, consequences for abusing your platform to spread hatful content and basically be a piece of shit. Freedom of speech doesn't mean people have to agree with what you say, and make you immune from consequences or backlash
I have been honoured to have a chance to chat with JR a handful of times on his podcast. He’s been nothing but the best to me and I’m so happy that he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves! Such an amazing human being😊
I grew up idolizing Dave Keon . and others like Darryl Sittler Larry Robinson etc. But for hockey entertainment Jeremy Roenick was at the top of my list...
That's nonsense. There's tons of people in the hall of fame for their respective sport that didn't win a title. Weak argument and I'm betting you know that. Stirring the pot....fine. YIPEE! Grow up.
Despite not having won any individual trophy or Stanley cup, he is more than deserving to be part of the hall of fame: - 48th all time scorer with 1 216 points, all of the 47 players ahead and some below him are in the HOF. - 42nd all time leader in goals -17th all time in game winning goals - 9 times all stars Plus I would take into consideration that he was one of biggest and most well known hockey stars in the 90's. Congratulations JR!
There were times where I hated JR over his commentary on NBC. It came to a boil during the 2016 Stanley Cup Final. However, his Chiclets interview changed that. He should’ve never been fired by NBC. That was a joke. Congrats on JR for finally getting in the HOF!
I don't think someones personality should ever dictate wether they get in the hall or not. All I care about is what they did on the ice not what they said.
It's overdue to see Jeremy Roenick in the Hall of Fame. Yes he had a loud personality but that's what made him plus was great on the ice. If Jeremy Roenick is now in the Hall of Fame, another about time nominee is Theoren Fleury for very similar reasons. Congratulations Jeremy Roenick or simply JR.
I'm Running the CBJ because of the sicks Jersey in NHL 2009-2010 & because of the slashing and massive hits i can do in game. JR is almost pulling ahead of Mats Sundin in leaders in points. It seems like JR Shot injures an opposing defensemen every time. His side hitting really opens up the ice XD.
The HHOF is as relevant as an Oscar, Grammy or R&R, especially when an elite player and legend such as Alex Mogilny still doesn’t have a place, never mind Tkachuk and Roenick
His parents are loaded and he could have been a rich kid who just loafed and did stupid stuff. Instead chose a hard sport and worked his butt off and did stupid stuff... but he did it on his on dime! You have to respect someone doing it their own way.
This is meant as no disrespect to Roenick, but why is he allowed into the HHOF before Theoren Fleury? Both have said and done controversial things. That we can establish. However, the Hall of Fame should (keyword should) be based on hockey achievements. Fleury averaged over a point a game in his pro career. Roenick did not. Fleury was voted to the second all star team for the 1994-95 season. Roenick was not named to any season all star teams. Fleury averaged over a point a game in the playoffs, Roenick did not. This doesn’t add up, in my eyes.
@ I was not picking Roenick “out”. I was simply comparing the two and saying Fleury has every right to be there if they’re going to put Roenick in the Hall.
This story presumes that JR was a no doubt HOF game who was kept out temporarily due to his personality.....but is that really the case? He had the most points of all eligible players who wasn't in the HOF, but now that is Bernie Nicholls who was only 7 points back, is Bernie a no doubt HOF guy now? 11 points back was Damphousse, who actually won a cup, why isn't he in the HOF ahead of Roenick? Where is the line between very good and HOF, is it at Brind'Amour? Tkachuk? Dave Taylor? Bobby Smith? Verbeek? Sorry, but the controversy surrounding JR is the only reason there is any story at all, without that not too many people would really care if he wasn't in the HOF
He ended careers. He was a cheap shot player. He doesn’t deserve to be in the hall. OR does he? Think about how many famous players were cheap shot assholes. Messier? For one. I don’t think JR should be in the hall,but there’s a shit ton of dudes who shouldn’t be in the hall.
Jr has no business in the HHOF. No cups, no scoring titles, no major awards, was never a dominant player, he just was a good hockey player with a big mouth
It's about F'n time. One of the greatest American players of all time. Legend.
Excellent segment TSN. Congratulations to JR and his lovely wife.
Congrats to one of the best J.R. what an intense player. It was always great to see him compete.
To say this is overdue is a massive understatement.
Not really
I played golf with him and his son a few years back in Phoenix. We chatted hockey, golf and general life. He was a great guy!
Do coke with him too?
This man is too good to be true, his personality and skill suit him so much.
i 💙JR. he may have had negative qualities, but he embodied qualities that canadian and american blue-collar guys could appreciate: he gave it all he could on the ice and he actually cared about the fans working hard to earn money to come to the arena.

we love you man, very entertaining hockey player. we hope you get back as a game analyst soon, I really enjoyed watching you on NBC
I love J.R. ....I am Canadian and with him wearing the poppy on TSN with panel was splendid to see

Guy is still great for the game.
Jeremy wasn't a career Blackhawk cause of Jeremy. My favorite player growing up.
Love you JR so happy for you and your family!!
The guy was a mouthpiece and a showman. Call him what you want, but the HHOF was way overdue.
EXACTLY, F'N TIME, CONGRATS JR!!
Great work TSN
Definitely a hall of famer.
Wow. i'm almost crying and i Hated him as a leafs fan. Congrats JR. much deserved and so glad you made it.
JR was a tough competitor.
Played huge for the Flyers, very appreciated.
HOF well earned.
👍
Once A Hawk , Alway a Hawk !!!! Love .
Where's Mogilny?
Where’s Mogilny? Unbelievable
He definitely needs to be put in have no idea how the first Russian player to leave the way he did and be such a skilled star how he not in the hall is bonkers

One of my favourite players as I grew up playing the game. Why? Simply his passion and heart. Way to go JR.
He will always remain the best player on NHL 94. That slapshot!
Better in ‘93
Haha, but only Al McInnes and Iafrate could smash the glass in that game 😂
Overdue, now how about Mogilny!
Rockstar for the sport 🔥
I used to love him in the all-star game every year, he'd always throw one legit huge hit on someone.
I don't get it. So what he was his true, authentic self all his life. That's the problem in society.. everyone wants everyone to fall in line.

@coastaku1954 what was hateful? Who'd he hurt? Feelings? Lol, grow a pair.
@ryanohara4986 People's feelings still matter, bud. Lemme guess, you were a bully in school, and are sad you can't make racist or sexist jokes anymore
@@coastaku1954bro grow a pair loser lol

Nice guy isn't a qualification for hall of fame. He should be in hall of very good
He always killed me in EA Sports NHL 98 by scoring on my Leaf's, still one of the best
Flyers legend
Roenick was always sincere and a likeable guy. He deserved to be in the HOF YEARS ago.
I grew up idolizing Dave Keon . and others like Darryl Sittler Larry Robinson etc. But for hockey entertainment Jeremy Roenick was at the top of my list...
As a Blackhawks fan, there is nobody more deserving to have this honour right now than JR, now if we can get Steve Larmer in, that would be amazing
Roenick should be in the hall of very good.
No hardware, no cup.
Should Shane Willis be in the Hall Of Fame?
That's nonsense. There's tons of people in the hall of fame for their respective sport that didn't win a title. Weak argument and I'm betting you know that. Stirring the pot....fine. YIPEE! Grow up.
Some of the greats didn’t win the cup and they’re in the hall-of-fame. Doesn’t matter. He was and is a hall-of-fame player.
As a Hawks and Flyers fan, I loved watching JR. Pound for pound, he and Lindros were the best ever.
agree or not He was always entertaining ffs leave Him be was a super star nuff said
Despite not having won any individual trophy or Stanley cup, he is more than deserving to be part of the hall of fame:
- 48th all time scorer with 1 216 points, all of the 47 players ahead and some below him are in the HOF.

Plus I would take into consideration that he was one of biggest and most well known hockey stars in the 90's.
Congratulations JR!
Theo fleury, mogilny, cujo, damphousse and Nicholls should be next
This guy way a fan favourite…. I liked him
Tsn is good at these segments
He deserves HOF.
Great episode fucking amazing
Wonderful ❤❤❤
Really liked him in Jr. great wheels and could finish. Head got loose in later years still a decent hockey player.
Love or hate him, the league is better with players like this
No….it isn’t
@@derekcox6531Shut up you clown…. Go watch the wnba
@@derekcox6531100% agree
@@derekcox6531any reason behind that? Loud, tough, aggressive, hard nosed players aren't entertaining and bring enough to the game for you?
Keith tkachuck is the godfather
Glad to see Roenick finally get in, hes had some up and downs during his career, but who hasn't? It's about fk'n time
segment TSN. Congratulations to JR
Maybe I’m just a lil biased, but as far as Americans it’s patty kane and it’s jr. Blackhawk legends. American hero’s
It's the perfect example of a hockey wife that doesn't care about fame she is a pure soul that wants to help the person she loves it's beautiful
Openly admitting he didn't get in initially because he wasn't part of the old boys club. Disgraceful.
Sounds like Hollywoods induction process
What about Mogilny
When you punish people with a fun good personality you end up with boring robots like we have now.
There were times where I hated JR over his commentary on NBC. It came to a boil during the 2016 Stanley Cup Final. However, his Chiclets interview changed that. He should’ve never been fired by NBC. That was a joke. Congrats on JR for finally getting in the HOF!
Roenick played at 6-1, and about 195, not 165
Roe is a true American original... I can say whatever I want... And if anyone doesn't like it, they can FO...
I don't think someones personality should ever dictate wether they get in the hall or not. All I care about is what they did on the ice not what they said.

The real Tommy Gavin🔥

mike Gartner. Class act of all time. Age 43: fastest skater in the league
The HHOF is as relevant as an Oscar, Grammy or R&R, especially when an elite player and legend such as Alex Mogilny still doesn’t have a place, never mind Tkachuk and Roenick
I am a 40 year old solid man and this made me emotional. WTF ?
lol, maybe you are a sensitive lady after all.
Someone’s personality or politics shouldn’t keep them out of the hall of fame
Ok, now it’s time to get Big Walt in…before his two sons go in
Should have been in years ago
J.R. THE SUPER 🌟
Isnt the Hall of Fame about hockey and not his mouth !!!! long over due ! His dad should have been alive to see this event !!
Patrick Roy couldn’t hear him.
He didn't get canceled. He canceled himself. Good player, and congrats to him.
Delay it.. I think it helped him get in.
Spezza is a hall of famer if roenick is.
He also scored big time with getting a wife like that!
His parents are loaded and he could have been a rich kid who just loafed and did stupid stuff. Instead chose a hard sport and worked his butt off and did stupid stuff... but he did it on his on dime! You have to respect someone doing it their own way.
Good on his wife staying with him. Seems like he might of got caught cheating on her and she still stuck by him
Very much a mouthpiece. Good player, but I can see why it took so long
Roenick but no Paul Henderson. Go figure.
This is meant as no disrespect to Roenick, but why is he allowed into the HHOF before Theoren Fleury?
Both have said and done controversial things. That we can establish.
However, the Hall of Fame should (keyword should) be based on hockey achievements.
Fleury averaged over a point a game in his pro career. Roenick did not.
Fleury was voted to the second all star team for the 1994-95 season. Roenick was not named to any season all star teams.
Fleury averaged over a point a game in the playoffs, Roenick did not.
This doesn’t add up, in my eyes.
They both should’ve been in by now over many other players that have gotten in. Don’t just pick out Roenick.
@ I was not picking Roenick “out”. I was simply comparing the two and saying Fleury has every right to be there if they’re going to put Roenick in the Hall.
guy is such a loser but he definitely deserved to be a first ballot HOFer.
Michael Farber sucks.
hes let horrible stuff consume him for sure
Love JR , hockey is supposed to be entertaining not the soft shit the NHL has become.
If he was Canadian - he wouldn’t be going to the hall. It’s only because he is American, and they make a big deal out of that.
500 goals might have something to do with it
True
100% agree

Nope never a fan
Kevin Bieksa, Don Cherry and Jeremy Roenick would be the most awesome hockey panel, too bad most NHL stations probably wouldn't agree
You lost me at Bieksa. The other two, absolutely!
NHL IS WOKE
He ended careers. He was a cheap shot player. He doesn’t deserve to be in the hall. OR does he? Think about how many famous players were cheap shot assholes. Messier? For one. I don’t think JR should be in the hall,but there’s a shit ton of dudes who shouldn’t be in the hall.
Who’s career did he end? For sure he gave out plenty of cheap shots but he probably took 3X as many and didn’t complain. That was the era
Jr has no business in the HHOF.
No cups, no scoring titles, no major awards, was never a dominant player, he just was a good hockey player with a big mouth
