Kings centre Roenick accuses USA Hockey of "blackballing" him
VANCOUVER (CP) - Veteran Jeremy Roenick said he wasn't surprised he was left off the United States Olympic hockey team announced on Monday, but not because he's lost a step after 17 NHL seasons.
Roenick sounded off against USA Hockey Monday after his Los Angeles Kings earned a 4-3 shootout victory over Vancouver Canucks, saying he was left off the team "because (USA Hockey has) been blackballing me since September." The 36-year-old centre called American hockey officials "disrespectful" and was clearly bitter with their decision.

What a whiney little *****, seriously. He should have known to put up or shut up, he doesnt deserve to be on the team.
