That was awesome! Thanks! We need Jagr to tumble and fall. Especially on the 29th. Can’t wait for that game!
Thanks Tanger58 … 🙂 I love stuff like this, and I’m glad somebody else does, too. I hear ya’ about Jagr. While I don’t know if I’m rooting against him–he was such a great player for us for such a long time–I was a little surprised to see him doing this well …
I am surprised as well. However, we are early in the season. We will see how motivated he is towards the end of the seawson. I am not routing for or against him. I hope he is a non-factor in the game against us.
It’ll be interesting to see how he holds up (at age 39) over a full NHL season. I’ve heard that his conditioning and off-ice workouts are second to none, so maybe he’ll be just fine. Attitude-wise, you get a sense that he finally may be seeing himself as a mentor and a leader, although it’s early yet. I’ll be REAL curious to see what kind of reception he gets at the CONSOL …
