I can understand that some might not want to boo him, but the fans don't have to just "get over it." Jagr made himself into an enemy, and if the fans here want to continue to boo him, they have every right.

It's been 6 years or so, people need to get over it. The way he left the city was blown way out of proportion as well....he is still the 2nd greatest player to ever put on a Pens sweater.

shedding jagr was a blessing. it started the fall to the bottom that allowed the pens to finish in the cellar a few years and pick up the core of the current roster.

Yup, he'll rack up the points in reg. season, but come postseason just watch him disappear once again. He gets frustrated waaaaay too easily when teams start checking him tightly, and then he starts to whiiiiiiiiinnnnne. You can take all those MVP's and stuff'em in sack. I'll take a Cup anyday instead.

I love how some people seem to believe Jagr folds in playoffs. He has averaged more than a point per game in the playoffs. He has carried both the Pens and Zcech national team in playoff games.
