Jeremy Roenick Gets Emotional After Chicago's Win



Jeremy RoenickEighteen years ago, Jeremy Roenick was 22 years old, in his fourth full NHL season and taking the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup Final. Behind the young center's 53 goals and 103 points that year, they were the last Blackhawks team to have a chance to play for hockey's Holy Grail. That year, the Hawks would win 11 straight playoff games, only to be swept in four games by the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins.

Fast forward and Roenick was in the building as an analyst for NBC Wednesday night for the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup victory. The only chance Roenick had to play for the Cup was back then in 1992.

After the final buzzer sounded and the Blackhawks were celebrating on the ice, NBC cut back to the in-arena studio where Roenick was seated with Mike Milbury and Dan Patrick. Both Milbury and Roenick reflected on the game, with Roenick recalling an upset young fan from '92 after the Hawks had lost. Patrick asked Roenick to explain his emotions further and he understandably had trouble holding them in.
