Re: Jagr to PHI
Jagr top 10 in scoring, thought I would post this here now before he drops off since the Flyers only play once in the next week. I am banking on this being the last time Jagr ever is in the top 10 in scoring.

Re: Jagr to PHI
It sickens me that he is in a Phi uniform...it also shocks me that he has 15p in 14g...
In a strange way I want to root for him, but I can't and won't.
Completely OT but...is anyone else just constantly amazed by Teemu Selanne? I mean, 14p in 14g for a guy who is 41!! Good lord.

Re: Jagr to PHI
http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=599531" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Jagr, though, still came to Philadelphia without any preconceived expectations or thoughts about what he might be able to accomplish as a 39-year-old who hadn't played in the NHL since 2008.
He just wanted to see if he could make it work at this level again after spending three seasons in the KHL.
"Good or bad, I was going to play through it," Jagr said. "That's why I didn't expect anything. No matter if it was bad or good, I wanted to play."
So far it's been all good for Jagr, who is playing well and cementing opinions of himself to others.
For instance, Laviolette had no idea that Jagr was such a preparation nut.
"The way he trains, the time he puts in to prepare himself to play, I don't think you get to see that when you're on the opposing bench," he said.
That work ethic has rubbed off on the Flyers' younger players like Giroux and James van Riemsdyk.
"When he came here I didn't know what to expect," Giroux said. "But when he came here he was the one that worked the hardest and gave the young players like me and van Riemsdyk a wake-up call to see that if we wanted to be one of the best we had to work at it, that it wasn't just going to come."
Voracek is happy to report that the image he had of Jagr when he was a child who used to hang posters of No. 68 on his bedroom walls matches what he now sees from his favorite player and teammate.
"I think we click pretty well," Voracek told NHL.com. "We live pretty close to each other so we keep in touch every day off the ice, as well. It's very cool to be with him."
Hartnell commented after a recent game that he still finds it surreal that Jagr is even on his team.
"That hasn't worn off yet," he said. "It's fun."
Jagr himself looks to be having a blast, as well. That much was obvious Tuesday after the Flyers came off the ice after practice.
Jagr and Voracek were laughing and telling jokes in their native tongue. Jagr was smiling and having fun with the Flyers' equipment managers. He even joked about the upcoming Flyers-Rangers Alumni Game that will be played Dec. 31 at Citizens Bank Park.
"They probably thought I was going to play in that game," Jagr said, laughing at his own joke. "I surprised everybody. Obviously I wasn't invited for that game. So I chose to play in the NHL game."
"His smile when he plays the game is almost infectious," Laviolette said. "He's happy to be here. He's happy to be a Flyer. He's having a terrific start to the season. And he shows by the way he smiles."

Re: Jagr to PHI
So, let's take a look at Jagr's last year with the Rangers (his most recent NHL season)Pitt87 wrote:ExPatriatePen wrote:I'm actually more impressed that he's plus 6

Season. Team. Lea. Gam. Gls. Ast. Pts. PIM. +/-
2007-08 New York Rangers NHL 82 25 46 71 58 8
Jagr played in all 82 games and had 71 points - similar to this years pace ( he's got 15 points in 15 games, not 14 )
However his plus minus for the entire season in 07-08 was +8 (according to HockeyDB.com)
So yes, his attention to doing what needs to be done in his own end of the ice is much better this year than it was in his last full NHL season.

Is it really that weird? Jagr was always a hardworking player. He was just a head case, which tended to distract from his positive traits.canaan wrote:the world is in a weird place when jaromir jagr becomes an influence on work ethic to other players.

I was always a huge fan of Jagr on the ice, but the guy is what he is.

Re: Jagr to PHI
Jagr's column for "isport.cz" . For some strange reason, the website cannot be translated via Google Translate directly, so here is the link to the article in Czech followed by the Google translation cut-and-pasted directly into the translator:

http://isport.blesk.cz/clanek/blogy-red ... upili.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I have had in the NHL such an unusual week. If I sum up with some exaggeration, so we not train, but then suddenly we were playing twice in two days. The fact that we played, namely count and match with Tampa Bay last Wednesday where we fell 1-2 after extra time.
But I take a day off because the Lightning team devised a new system, no one could not think. At first there so we just stood about five minutes, nothing happened. Actually we had a day off ...
Tampa just such a style of play, just waiting for the opponent to not attack anyone. Rather, it concretes and three stands in the middle zone. But it's her choice, everyone can play, as it may, no one she can prescribe something. And if it's good for hockey? That's another question ...
I think that even we can solve it totally differently. If I was our coach, I would certainly is attacking. Especially when standing in the middle of three courses - if you reach back for the puck and in two or three players you move, you have no chance to stop.
But one has to listen to, nothing can be done. Forward we suspected, how they play, so it was about who the coaches will have stronger nerves. It was such their chess game.
Karpov Kasparov at the time of its greatest glory hesitated half an hour to do a move. This time, fortunately, did not take that long, but equally you could say that we have players on the ice were just as figurines.
I do not think that the part of Tampa's too smart to play this at home. I do not know what a game would say our fans if we did them before something like this.
But it's their thing, they play so passively. It was just one match, one has to forget and move on. Now it's more or less in the rush of games in a season that we lost.
Then we had two days completely ice-free even without training, we spent it in teambuilding events in Florida. We had a joint activity, we have a nice rest and come to other ideas.
During the summer the team has changed a lot, so it was a matter that we know well and off the ice. As for hockey itself, it does not help anyone, because when one falls out of rhythm, it shows.
But again, this can create a better bunch, so it is generally beneficial. Although I must say that I was after that break in Sunday's game with Florida, which we won 3-2, felt awful legs did not ride much.
And even worse I waited in Carolina, against which we got in last night. Especially for me, because I used a lot of practice. When it opened up the season in such a pause, difficult to compare the with it.
But nothing can be done. I remember that even before the Rangers we had something like that, we were with the whole team on a military base in West Point, we played at being soldiers. But always it was in training camp, during the season I experienced such a joint action for the first time.
Today football players are emerging in Black Mountain. I'll keep them crossed for the EURO advanced, have a great shooter.
The first game I've seen, somehow escaped me that they play. I hope they did not coach Bilek two days off, as I did. Perhaps it neodkoukali from us, I would definitely recommend them. In this case, in Montenegro it was damn hot cruel ...

Re: Jagr to PHI
This was a couple of weeks ago but how about TSN's headline "Moves Like Jagr" after the game in which he scored his first two goals? Fantastic headline.

tsn also had "moves like malkin" as the highlight title for that goal against varlamov. the Jagr one was appropriate--the latter, not so muchAndré wrote:This was a couple of weeks ago but how about TSN's headline "Moves Like Jagr" after the game in which he scored his first two goals?

Two days before Thanksgiving, Jagr was asked to talk about some of the things that he’s thankful for having.
He sometimes digests questions for a few seconds to think of a good answer, but needed no time here.

Jagr has become the spokeperson of Czech gaming company "Sazka" (formerly the undisputed market leader, but now emerging from the bankruptcy). Here is the first commercial:
