I have not followed Hockey over the years as much as I wished I had. I kind of casually payed attention after Gretzky retired but one thing I do remember is anytime I saw a Jagr highllight it was always some amazing stick handling juke for an assist or goal.
@LtSykes I'm impressed - a man who knows his hockey! Jarda learned to keep his head up early because he played in 3 leagues with guys much older than him. Pens fans need to grow up. A number of doctors told the Pens that Jarda appears to be manic depressive. If he is - he's gone untreated. The fact that he's managed to have the career he's had, his success - is a miracle and a testament to his talent. He has a good heart. When he asked for that trade - he was doing what was best for the team.
No way in hell Lemieux will sign him. They were great teammates together but recently thet haven't been the nicest about eachother. As much as I'd love to see it, it won't happen.. -Pittsburgher
Vlady14: MB because he is 38years old. He can't be the best now, he is too old, but still good!!! In this video his best goal is from the time he was 20!! It's 18 years ago! He can't be perfect forever :)
I am a huge hockey fan, like you, no doubt. Mark Recchi? Wasnt he the one traded out of Pittsburgh this year? Have you watched Jagr over the last 3 years ? he put up 54 goals and 123 points in the year after the lockout. There is no question that Jagr, like any player(such as Iginla, Thornton, Lecavalier) has off nights. Jagr has been a damn good captain and has played in every game. You sound like you are relying on the media image of him.
Jagr has helped the Rangers end a 7 year playoff drought & to 3 straight post-season appearances. He's been a pretty damn good captain & most around the team will agree. He also has not missed 1 regular season game since the lockout playing through various injuries. Why are you allowed to compare something, but I cant? It really is pointless talking with you about this,because you've already decided in your mind what Jagr is and isnt. Try to keep an open mind.
@XMedoraX Not to mention he was the captain of the Rangers and had better point totals than a bunch of his pen years, and instituted a tradition at madison square garden that every rangers captain will do forever by saluting the crowd at center ice after a home win. Uh huh. And I was at a game where pittsburgh actually booed him everytime he came on the ice. Bandwagon fans with no respect for the true greats that have been on the team. Crosby is the next Eric Lindros, just you watch. Concussions
yeah, and its exactly why he bulked up and bulked up and bulked up. hes not a deker anymore, hes a power forward. power forwards dont make plays like that, they use their size and talent to create space for themselves and others. If you just watch hockey to see end to end spectacular plays, then Jagr is not the guy to watch anymore. Hes the guy who will use his size to create lanes for his linemen to drive to, and hell get them the puck.
thats a ludicrous statement. Jagr adjusted his game to combat the clutch and grab NHL by bulking up and becoming a power forward. Not a great player anymore? hes scored 30 goals in 15 consecutive seasons prior to this year. The guy is a hockey legend.
@Vlady14 Mb because he is 38 years old now!! He can't be perfet forever! It's not possible to be the best 20yeas in a row.. The best goal from that video is 18 years old!!
He played with no heart for the Rangers?! Right. That's why the first season after the lockout, when the media had them pegged to finish dead last in the entire NHL Jarda carried them into the playoffs for the first time in years, finished 2nd in the NHL in scoring, and he was awarded the Lester B. Pearson as NHL MVP. That's a really poor player there, alright, I don't see any heart at all. If you're going to make a statement, at least try and sound like you know what you're talking about.
yeah, half assed efforts by Jagr with the Rangers. You know, so half assed he broke the Rangers records for goals, and points by a player. were talking original 6 team, and he broke 2 monumental records in his first year....but yeah, hes lazy and only plays for money. sheesh, i hate it when people make carte blanche comments about something they know nothing about. if anything jagr is playing harder in the defensive zone than in his entire career. hes workince twice as hard as he used to.
playoff failure ? Where is Iginla ?? Jagr has been one of the better players in the 2008 playoffs. After the lockout, Jagr was 1 vote away from being the Hart trophy winner. It seems more like you let the media shape your perception than actually watching him play. Are you Canadian ? You sure sound biased against one of the greatest European players ever.
what teammates talk of jagr phoning it in. I doubt you can post any facts that support your ridiculous statement. my guess is that you havent watched Jagr play over the last few years.

He is best player in a space ! Legend.
Lalime tried like 4 pokecheck and he deked them all, amazing
I LOVE JAGR!!!!
jagr was the 2nd most talented scorer that played the game
jardo vše nejlepší seš borec:)
Nothing beats the good old 240p.
UndercoverGamer rekt
I would love to see 68 return to the Pens and then someday see 68 in the rafters of Consol
maybe he will return this yr

this top 10 was from before he joined the rangers and most likely before he was on washington especially because the most recent goal was in 2000 (#7)
@koncept420 it would be sweet to see jags back in a pens jersey one last time.
Best player ever 👍🏻🤔
wow, excellent argument.
Its like everytime he went left side on the goalie he always put it away

post a link. i'd be interested in seeing that Mark Recchi clip.

přepsal jsem se :D stane se..
2:40 this is better than Ovechkin

And to think he was drafted 5th overall and nolan was drafted first. Oh what could have been.

#2 was way better the #1....
there's only 4 people in the whole rink he didn't deke, and 3 of em are ushers!

i think number six is the greatest
they didnt get rid of him, he left cuz the penguins were in the shitter.
hahaha ok
Jagr should go back 2 penguins
Number 2 was better than number 1 tho
A shame he won`t play another ten years in the BIG league. To bad he chose to wind it down in the russian minors.
yeah, half assed efforts by Jagr with the Rangers. You know, so half assed he broke the Rangers records for goals, and points by a player. were talking original 6 team, and he broke 2 monumental records in his first year....but yeah, hes lazy and only plays for money.

if anything jagr is playing harder in the defensive zone than in his entire career. hes workince twice as hard as he used to.
He scored none of these goals with Washington or NYR...only the Penguins.
Rapublik? Seriously?
Czech Rapublik is best ! JAGR IS BEST
