Jagr: 'My 1999 Game 6 vs Jersey may have saved the Pens'

[Noise]

I remember the 2000 playoffs much more vividly, during which Jagr mailed it in.

8 goals, 8 assists in 11 games. 4 GWG.

Perhaps you mean 2001? Wasn't he injured for part of that run to the ECF?

If that's the case then Barrasso must have been a KC fan

1st series against the caps... one of the best Jagr's goals; short side over Kolzig's shoulder in OT.
Against the flyboys not so much. Pens lost twice in OT , in both home games. Primeau juiced.

All credit to the caps for winning saturday after losing Friday am.

I remember Jagr almost single-handedly bringing them back trailing in the 3rd to send Game 3 to overtime though. Then their 12-year-old defenseman, whatever his name was, scored.

Game 6 vs. Jersey was a religious experience for me.

Jagr is definitely trying to sweet talk his way to either a return to Pittsburgh in the summer or his 68 in the rafters.

I don't see that as sweet talk at all. It's sounds more like bragging and rubbing it in to me. And anyone that would compare Giroux to Mario doesn't ever need to even think about coming back to Pittsburgh or having his sweater hang in the rafters. As another Pittsburgher, Dennis Miller, might put it "he might as well rent a dinghy and go fishing with Fredo - he's dead to me."

Screw him.

Yes, I mean 2001. I think he had his nagging groin issues, but I think a lot of his lackluster performances had to do with dying alive & so forth.

he's dead to me."

Me too. I loved when that was the Super Gelatinous' settiment last summer. Said he should be dead to the Penguins and dead to Mario and dead to us fans. Then the second Jagr stepped foot in Pittsburgh on 12/29 Madden couldn't kiss his ass long or hard enough.

Yeah, he was definitely out the door that year. Though he did set up Kaspar's game winner against Buffalo.

I would love to know how the reporter brought this up. I also hate to know that Jagr might be right.

According to Jagr, he liked his one year with the Flyers better than any of his time with the Pens.

“This was the most enjoyable year I’ve ever had,” Jagr said. “It’s a sad day for me. I want to cry right now.”

Not a rip on you, but what would anyone expect him say? He's going to be working on another deal from someone

Madden is one of those people that if he's heading West then I'm guessing going East is probably the best choice to make.

[pens#1]

so what happens if he signs in Pittsburgh for the league minimum?

Srsly, this would never happen, no matter what he said.

[Desiato]

I guess he also means that every player who has had a strong series for a team struggling financially--perhaps most at one point--"saved" their respective franchises...

[HomerPenguin]

Maybe my favorite live game aside from Lemieux's comeback and game 2 against the North Stars. Jagr was awesome.

The guy keeps burning bridges. I don't think he does it on purpose. I just think he's really stupid.

Andy Delmore, IIRC?
