I remember watching Jagr while he was with the Rangers, and he was such a beast. There was no question that I knew he was skilled before that time, but seeing him play in person, you saw his strength. Guys, who normally liked to check, would look sheepish when about to hit Jagr. Of course, this was because trying to knock him off the puck was not easy. Many would try and just kind of bounce off him. But poke checking him was also not easy. He was so strong and skilled, and he just worked and worked. That seems to have paid off, but I also understand from some recent comments he would like to retire, but if he does so, his team would suffer financially because he brings in fans.
I am a big Jagr fan too girl thats why you're awesome.I hv 3sons and I once told my ex bf that there are only 5 guys that exist in this world for me,then he counted on his hand my 3sons names and then the 4th was his then he asked me who the 5th guy was I said Jagr.Also my fave song by Maroon 5 is Moves Like Jagr.
My favourite Jagr story was when some girl he slept with tried blackmailing him. She wanted him to pay her money or she’d expose him to his “wife” (that he didn’t have). Bahaha he said to the media yep I banged her and sent her on her way. What a legend.
the player i've loved the most since i've been watching hockey is teemu selanne. the one i've feared the most when my team was playing against is jaromir jagr. i don't know which one is the best compliment i could give.
Hello. He wears it as a reminder of the Warsaw pact armies invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. It was a year when lot's of 'stuff' went in to the shitter for many Czechs and Slovaks, also the economy of the whole country etc. There are alot of details, but let's leave it at that. :)
Because of Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia in august 1968 what great person! He was not even born when it happened. Good luck to Jaromir for whatever he does and his team Kladno.
This beast is still playing (started a bit late this season) and still scoring goals. Actually just scored in the most recent game.
Ikr it’s pretty crazy
And still! I think he just doesn't know how to quit.

Prob the toughest to take off the puck ever, it’s amazing that he’s still playing, we’ll see how much longer he can go!
Pretty sure I still have his jersey tucked in storage.
One and only jersey I own. Dude was a beast.
That’s awesome !
I love how he’s still playing professional hockey just in the Czech league in his 50s now
Best nhl player outside of 66 and 99
66 taught him and 99 never beat him for national teams
My entire bedroom growing up had Jaromir Jagr everywhere…and yes I cried like a baby when he got traded🤭
Haha that’s awesome and I’m sure it was upsetting

Both I’d say are pretty good
Great video..👌
Thank you!
The legend! 💯🙏🇨🇿❤️
Had the best hair too. He was like Samson on ice
12.20.23 - still playing
He is back from injury and scoring
Jagr just suited up for Kladno after half the team was out due to illness and got 2 assists... at age 50. #AgelessWonder
He’s a specimen
And now he stats 14points (5goals 9 assists)
That guy is unreal! A true legend 👏
Too 5 of all time legend he's still.plating at age 50
nice video! always looked fondly on jagr. do you know why he wears the number 68?
Thanks ! And I actually don’t, do you ?
I've heard that it was because his father died 68' in prison in former yugoslavia due to communist takeover

Year of invasion. 1968, Warsaw Pact invaded Czechoslovakia and his grandfather died in some relation to the invasion.

He also won gold medals in Czech Republic too gold medals okyoics too
Triple club
"generational" talent
When did he transition into being a human
But.... Where would he have been without Mario's teachin?!!!
True, Mario is one of a kind too!

His secret was to stay out of the NHL otherwise he would come back in a wheelchair.
