Jeremy Roenick was playing golf when he received a call from Sharks GM Doug Wilson asking about the possibility of playing for San Jose. ?Sometimes friends come and save you,? Roenick said of his former Blackhawks' teammate. ?Just when I thought that it was all over, Doug Wilson asked me to fly to San Jose and talk about playing for the Sharks. He asked me if I could still play the game and I told him I know I could still play.? Roenick recalled that story on Thursday, announcing his retirement as a player after 20 years in the league, according to an Associted Press report.
