08:27 AM ET 11.14 | Jeremy Roenick's memoir is not kind to his former San Jose Sharks teammate Patrick Marleau, and he's gone far enough to rip him in print. [Roenick's] overall portrait of Marleau depicts him as a highly skilled player who needs to show more heart and play with more edge. Marleau initially seemed to take the criticism in stride -- "He's got his own agenda," the former captain said -- then had a stronger response. "To say that I don't care about my play or winning or being gutless is absurd," Marleau wrote in a text message. "I wouldn't have left home at 14 years old to play a game I didn't care about. I want to win more than anyone. Just because I don't jump up and down acting like a buffoon on the ice doesn't mean I'm not into it."

One of my all-time favorite lines!
I'm with you on that one...JR chased his Cup all over the map, never got it and now feels the need to try and still be relevant.
Don't let the door hit ya...and take Milbury and Mother Maguire with you.

It's a big ring of failure. Not defending the Sharks at all, but you gotta earn the right to criticize others, and besides a handful of All-Star appearances, JR earned nothing.

Did J.R. really have to remind us of that? C'mon! After all, Mary Lou IS a Shark! That's all we need to know!

I like JR. He's entertaining and can be pretty funny...Can't say that he didn't have heart as a player. Used to hate him when he was a Hawk...coming into Toronto.

Yeah...that must have been what he was thinking when he signed on with the Yotes for a year.

I'm sure he's ripped more guys than just Marleau in his book. Increase the hype, increase the sales.

That's not true...he was perhaps the most dominant video game athlete ever. But that's probably Techmo Bowl Bo Jackson, so JR didn't win that either. Good call Limes.

I have to agree with you here......
I especially liked his melt down on Versus when the Hawks won the cup

So JR contends he's got no passion or edge, therefore Marleau texts hardly an incendiary response, talking about how he likes to play the game and could jump up and down on the ice, but choses not to. Way to get up in JR's grill and...let him know you like stuff, thanks for noticing.
