Mind boogling seeing Jagr in a Flyers report.Well after his preseason debut on Friday at Detroit, adding a goal and an assist, I’d say that’s a big help to his teammates. Jagr, however, refused to praise his play
“I gotta get better,” laughed Jagr after the game. “It’s different… we had some pretty good shifts with some cycling. That’s why I wanted to play.”
Jagr started the game playing alongside James van Riemsdyk with Brayden Schenn centering.
While both he and head coach Peter Laviolette agree with the chemistry that they seemed to play with, there’s still much more work and many more games to be played.
Jagr got on the board with a great play to earn his first assist. Towards the end of his shift, he managed to get the puck to Sean Couturier who put it at the net allowing van Riemsdyk to poke home the rebound in the crease.
Shortly there after, Jagr provided the game’s winning goal by flicking a shot over Detroit goaltender Jimmy Howard’s glove with under two minutes to play in the opening frame.
“He’s got a tremendous amount of skill and I thought he skated really well and get into the system,” said Laviolette.
Jagr also played nearly 17 minutes (16:55), which included 2:50 of power-play time. He was a plus-2 on the night and recorded his goal on his only shot.
I used to hate Jagr, but if he keeps producing like this, you can call this Philly Fan a changed man.Gaucho wrote:2 goals tonight. So far. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"I don't know if that's a change from early in his career, but he's a fanatic about conditioning, about nutrition, about doing the right thing in preparing to play the game."
The other night in his first preseason action, Jagr scored on a wicked shot, but still wasn't pleased with his play.
"We all thought he had a pretty good game the other night in Detroit and he's hard on himself. He said, 'Ah, it wasn't enough, I've got to better, I got to get quicker,'" Holmgren said. "It's actually pretty refreshing and probably shows you why he's been an elite player for as long as he has been."
Teammate Scott Hartnell referenced that goal, too, saying he figured about 30 of those will make Holmgren look pretty darned good for the signing.
"Obviously, Jaromir Jagr, just the name, it's a household name in the hockey world if you know anything hockey," Hartnell said. "Just being the player that he is, you'd think that he'd come in with a little bit of an attitude; not necessarily talk down to guys, but sometimes you have guys with a little bit of attitude that think they're better than everybody else. But it's been the exact absolute opposite of that.
"He's always got a little smirk on his face, just looks like he's a little kid, kind of almost in his first year," Hartnell added. "He's just kind of silent and he kind of hears all the chirps of other guys kind of chirping around."
Hartnell recalled a backhanded saucer pass Jagr sent him in a recent practice.
"I ended up scoring on it and it was just like, 'Geez, not many people can make those passes.' You kind of think he's been out of the league a few years, maybe he's lost a step or his skill, but obviously he was playing in a good league over in Russia," Hartnell said. "He works so hard in practices, he's up in the gym working out. He wants to prove something to all the doubters out there, and obviously for himself, to have a great season and win a Stanley Cup here in Philly."
