499

Saw JR score career goal #499 at Staples Center. Kings should/could have stopped him. Puck went high off LaBarbera and JR gloved it in the slot, dropped it to himself, and fired it far corner. Two Kings standing there watching him and not leveling him. Chorous of boos rained down. LA is tough on any former players. I was hoping for #500 in LA, but it didn't happen.  JR was out there late with the empty net. Sharks started to get control and Roenick starting sprinting out of the zone with eyes the size of dinner plates. It didn't happen. The pass never came.
 
For only limited ice time (5-6 shifts) on the 4th line, it was amazing that he produced.
