in my corner of the world (9-12 year olds in vancouver), '90-'94 roenick was universally beloved. and it's not hard to figure out why: stickhandled out of control when he rushed the puck, loved to shoot and scored a lot of goals, hit everything in sight.
and actually, i think roenick-mania was biggest before he even hit 50 goals or 100 points or went to the finals. his ceiling just seemed to sky high, first in that 1990 playoffs, then when he put up that 40 goal year after taking over the 1C spot from denis savard.
in retrospect, he ended up plateauing as "just" an all-star, but if you asked a bunch of fourth graders in 1991 who had more potential fedorov or roenick, it would probably be 50/50. and if you asked the same thing about roenick vs anyone else, sakic, modano, turgeon, sundin, it was roenick without blinking.
