NHL Legend absolutely cooks Pierre-Luc Dubois
Jeremy Roenick is the type of player you either love or hate. Regardless of your opinion of him though, he truly understands the game of hockey. Roenick is a 9-time NHL All-Star, and one of the best American-born players ever.
Roenick certainly knows a thing or two about playing in the NHL and in major markets. In a recent interview, Roenick didn't hold back when discussing the Kings latest addition Pierre-Luc Dubois.
When asked his thoughts on playing in LA, Roenick said he hopes Dubois can finally be happy, because if not General Manager Rob Blake is in trouble.
Dubois has done nothing by f***ing complain. He wanted to leave Columbus because he didn't get along with [head coach John] Tortorella. Wah, wah, wah. Then he didn't want to play in Winnipeg because Winnipeg's too cold and I don't want to be up here because it's too small of a building, it's not a big hockey market for me, and wah, wah, wah.
Roenick went on to compliment Dubois' play, but did not let up on his criticism.
You know what? Dubois better live up to his eight-year, $68 million contract that the LA Kings gave him because he can be a difference-maker. He's a very good player. He's got to show some consistency. And I think a lot of his lack of consistency is because he's spent to much time b--ching and crying about where he's playing and who he's playing for.
I hope for their sake Dubois wises-up, and starts playing the way he is capable of playing, and enjoys life playing hockey for the first time instead of b****ing and whining.

Let's hope Dubois finds himself in a good position because if not the relationship is going to sour fast.
