As an adult,and a fan of the team since 1990,I knew that Jagr came with baggage,but I had faith that Shero and Mario would do what was best for the team. Seeing Jagr finish his career in Pittsburgh would have been nice.

As the day got closer,I was nursing a broken foot from a family vacation in western Newfoundland,and decided to turn in to TSN for the latest news. When I seen that he had signed with Philly,it really pissed me off. Here’s a guy that is already a millionaire,turning down a chance to retire in dignity,so that he could bank a bit more money. In my heart,I just think he didn’t want to play in Pittsburgh because of all the great stars that the team got,Jags would play second-fiddle to Sid and Geno etc. I hope that he has a lousy season.

It stinks that he was such a big part of the franchise and decided to go out this way.

He has more of a chance to be “the guy,” versus playing third fiddle to Sid and Geno. Perhaps, too, he felt like there was too much (negative) history to overcome in the ‘Burgh. In Philly, he’ll get a chance to make a fresh start. I guess you can’t fault a guy for making what he thought was his best decision. It’s a shame it didn’t work out here … it would’ve been a nice story to have him finish his career as a Penguin.

Didn’t the Filthadelphia fans play that for him? (Well Dude looks like a lady.) It would be awesome (which I know we can’t) sign a great winger for $3.3MM, to show him he wasn’t worth it. I will be chanting “Go home Jagr December 29th!” I guess I really can’t bring out my Jagr jersey now. Except to throw away?

Enough said, he left as a bum and will retire as a bum! Can’t wait to see you on the ice.
