First
Jagr is still playing and is still good
Was surreal to see him play as a Calgary Flame even if was short lived. Wonder if he would play in the alumni game as a Calgary Flame if the 2023 Heritage Classic have one.
I remember him scoring
Favorite Jagr Memory? Mine is his favorite player growing up being himself lmao
Weirdly enough since I’m somewhat young (barely an adult) I can only picture Jagr wearing 3 jerseys; Penguins, Panthers, and Flames
I can’t imagine him as a Ranger for some reason
hey plekanec just resigned , at 41yo, with jagrs team!
i do beleive they are linemates
I love the traveling Jagr's
Oh flames fan loved that old man jagr singed with the flames was a highlight. Sine that what was going for them in that history of a pathetic franchise. Jagr only sign there because no one wanted to pay him😂.
I does feel like it was a dream. I also think its very unfortunate his career ended this way. I personally think the NHL could've done things a little better for Jagr when he left the NHL. How can such an NHL icon be so forgotten? It would have been quite nice if the NHL had supported Jagr in Europe.
As a Devils fan, my first hockey season was 2014-15, and Jagr was a Devil at the time. I didn't anything about Jagr other than the fact that was one of the only players on that awful Devils team that was actually productive, so I was so mad when he got traded lol.
I remember when I first heard the news that I was really happy. I knew he probably wouldn’t put up big numbers but we had a young core with promise that hadn’t really produced to what I thought was their potential. We saw glimpses but that was really it. I remember thinking this will be great for those guys to see and learn from a veteran superstar that these are the things you need to do to get to the pinnacle. I wish he could have stuck around longer. There was so much more those guys probably could have learned from him. I’m still happy I got a Jagr jersey that year. 😊
I was thinking what, how, and who all at the same time. So I guess, Huh?
Jeremy Jogger is a legend
Love jagr. Wish we got to see more. He's a beauty
I felt the same way when he played for the Devils. For a while we had him and Marty on the same team. It was insane, that electric feeling you described is right on
The only person to win the art Ross in a 21 year stretch who's number wasn't 99 or 66.
I heard he might come back man if the golden knights get him I would be shocked
I liked when he crashed the interview with the travelling Jagrs.
"I heard they needed another guy."
I remember in his time in new york him and shanahan somehow ending up on a 2 on 0 and the annoucer goin well here comes 1300 goals flying at ya welcome to the show kid cant remember who the goalie was
I know you probably get this a lot kid but I can tell that if you keep doing what you're doing you'll have hundreds of thousands of subscribers / followers, then millions – at which point your options will become limitless in life. You have something very special about you when you talk about sports. Keep on keeping on. Best of luck to you now as well as later on in life.
Honestly, as a Panthers fan who died a little when they let him walk, I was just as shocked that he chose Calgary as his next (and possibly final) destination. I had the pleasure of intricately watching his strengths and weaknesses while he was in Florida and saw that basically, as long as his linemates could help gain the zone, then he could compete better than most. His biggest weakness was the neutral zone stretch because of a lack of speed on his part. However, even at that, he was better than half of the active players in the league because he could read the play like a psychic and was excellent with his defensive stick work. If memory serves me correctly, his plus/minus was pretty good those last few seasons in Florida. I think the only reason Florida crapped him out was because they were just beginning that monumental, negative self destruct sequence in which they also taxied Gerrard Gallant and massacred team culture. They certainly didn't let him go because he was a liability. So, what Jagr needed was a good fit. A team that had a good neutral zone game, a linemate that could position themself in scoring locations and await Jagr's pass. Jagr needed to be paired with a goal scorer and really strike up a dynamic duo sort of bond because yes, he was a bit slow but really, he almost untouchable and guaranteed to create a scoring opportunity if given the right linemate(s). He'd patrol around the offensive zone like a great white shark, circling and circling and either take the shot or feather a pass to a player waiting for a golden attempt. What did Calgary do? They let him down. That's my memory. They shīt the bed. I remember Jagr being given limited ice time and being shuttled up and down the third and fourth lines – very rarely being given time with the top six. It was aggravating as when he was finally given a shit with someone like Gaudreau, he'd have some great shifts. Unfortunately, that type of pairing just didn't fit with Calgary's broader game plan and they would immediately go back to stuffing him with the occasional shift with the bottom six. I honestly thought I could see the fire die within Jagr, watching Calgary abuse a mega talent like they did, which is ironic for a team called the Flames (to snuff his fire). It seemed to me that he got in a bad place mentally and then along with the negative thinking, he attracted the injury big. That combo dug him deeper down into the Flames' pit of despair and it sort of became apparent, if I read through the lines, that he wanted out of Calgary but that there were no takers because each team had it's mid-season chemistry going and just weren't in a place to re-jig their second line (or even first line) to accomodate Jagr, despite his existing top tier talent. Actually, it was my understanding that THERE WERE a few teams interested BUT that they had asked Jagr to wait until the trade deadline so they could make damn good and sure they needed his assistance. Jagr saw an entire season slipping away and at his age panicked and packed his bags for Europe. Not only did he not want to waste a season at such a late stage in his career, his body was also at a use-it-or-lose-it level and he needed to get things in motion, quickly. And with that we lost one of the greatest talents the game has ever seen. My guess is that of Calgary didn't bumble that situation and abuse their privilege, that we could have gotten another few seasons out of 68. He really was hell bent to play until he was 50 years old. But Calgary blew it, like they do so many things. The funny and tragic thing, in hindsight, is what difference did it make? Calgary wasn't anything special that season or the following. What was so precious about their playstyle that they couldn't accomodate Jaromir Jagr and his unique style of playing. The answer is obvious. Nothing. They just mismanaged and mis-coached the situation, which is a hallmark of that club… and that… that is the legacy they left behind. The stain on Jagr's career.
Black hole of calgary
I heard a pretty interesting rumour about Jagr while I was playing in Europe. Apparently, after each game he would have a case of beer delivered to the locker room. All the other guys knew it was jag’s and wouldn’t dare touch it! And yes he would down it all solo as well.
Do you think Ovi and Sid gonna pull a JagrHowe and play into the mid ages?
I'm as die-hard an Oilers fan as they come, but I'm also a Jagr fan. So I can safely say this: Jagr is the only reason I ever owned any Flames merch. Bought a Flames Jagr t-shirt from a SportChek in Calgary not long after he went back to Kladno. Occasionally wore it on light, private days for a couple years, and then gave it to a former co-worker of mine who is an actual Flames fan, so he could frame it and put it on his wall.
