I will always remember the greatest duo of my life and will always praise their greatness. Jagr and Lemieux i have their jerseys and will be a pens fan for life!!!!!!!
And Mario said it himself - I have NEVER seen two players who had the kind of chemistry with each other that Mario and Jaromir did. Have watched hockey for decades; never saw 99 have that kind of chemistry with anyone he played with, and I’ve never seen it since. We Pens fans were so blessed to be able to watch The Greatest Duo in hockey history together - it will always be Mario and Jaromir - 66 & 68 😎
Without Lemeaux, there would not be a Penguins, without Jagr, there would not be a Penguins in Pittsburgh, and without Lemeaux, Jagr and Crosby, we wouldn't have a heritage in the greatest sports town in the country.
A quick Google search could've helped you spell Lemieux correctly. If you're going to praise him, might as well respect him enough to spell his name right haha.
Jagr and Mario inspired me to play the game. I grew up on a lake so ice was available. I laced up at 6yo. I was 16 by the time Jagr was drafted. Incredible players and inspirational. 68!
JAROMÍR JÁGR je borec světových parametrů z České Republiky. Čest a slávu jemu, za to, co dokázal a udělal pro hokej!!! A doufám, že ty všechny pěkný kočky byly a jsou na něj hodný....
One of the greatest talents on ice ever. And so strong and unbelievably resilient too. His number 68 commemorates Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968.
respect the pens, hate their fans, but appreciate the great players. Jagr in my eyes is the best Winger to ever play the game. he should be top 5 all time.
One of the absolute best all time! Right up there with Mario, Wayne, Forsberg, Kharlamov, Makarov, McDavid as the most thrilling player to ever play the game. A privilege to watch.
@@SupplementalSense Jarda was called that first - because he was a Card Shark! If I remember correctly - they called him Gino Casino. 😁 I can’t remember who first began calling him Jags. Czech teammates would call him Jarda at times.
I've been a Jagr fan my entire life from back when I was 6-years-old wearing 68 to now. I've never in my life heard anyone EVER call him Geno? Who has ever called this guy Geno? Just seems weird to me that I never heard it before.
That is so true. As much as I like the Pens team with Jagr and Lemieux, if 99 was still with the Oilers, zero chance this Pens team would beat the oilers all legends team.
They were not past their primes. The rangers cup team in 94 had 7 ex oilers all playing prominent roles in the cup run. So yes, I agree if Gretzky stuck around the oilers, the oilers would have won 3-4 more cups.
I’m just glad I was alive to witness it! Legendary!

Spell check auto corrected me apparently. Sorry, all fellow Pittsburgh fans.
With all that talent, I would have liked to see a few more cups, particularly in the 90s (and there's never been one won at home 😢)
If Jagr didn't get traded when he did, I'm sure the Pens wouldn't have gotten Malkin and Crosby.

А был такой момент в истории, что бы Чехословакию оккупировала СССР?)) Тат то, СССР освободило Вас от фашизма))
Jagr, The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.
He's still active, keep him going!!! Jagr is a monster
The best European born player, ever. He deserves to be mentioned with Gretz and Lemieux.
The Man The Mullet The Legend
respect the pens, hate their fans, but appreciate the great players. Jagr in my eyes is the best Winger to ever play the game. he should be top 5 all time.
Probebly the most talanted five of all time Jagr Lemieux Francis
Our legend 💪🏻🇨🇿
We love you and that beautiful hair of yours!!!❤❤❤
68 ❤
Forever.
Best alien ever. Thank you Jagr
The best tandem ever? No argument from me.
Big time legend
One of the absolute best all time! Right up there with Mario, Wayne, Forsberg, Kharlamov, Makarov, McDavid as the most thrilling player to ever play the game. A privilege to watch.
Ewww please don’t put McNever won a thing up with those greats.
The best Dallas Star to ever play the game.
he is one of the greats.
Why is Eddie Olczyk calling him Geno? When was that ever his nickname?
I was thinking the same thing . I remember at first calling him Gus , but never Gino
Isn't that what they call Malkin?
They called him Gino Casino, if I remember correctly, because Jaromír was good at playing cards. Mama Jágr taught him.

Wondering the same thing...
They called him Gino ??? I've never heard him called that before.
Exactly… geno is shortened Evgeni - so fine for Malkin, not for Jagr
Czech Hero JJ68 Penguins Forewer
He talks about Jagr and says “Geno”? Why?
Noticed that too, got his nicknames mixed up I think 😂
He said Geno twice. I am missing something here 😂😂 Jagr not Malkin.
lol ya I was wondering that myself, was looking for this comment
Geno, when did they ever call Jagr Geno?
if 99 never left the oilers. we wouldnt be talking about the pens cups
That is so true. As much as I like the Pens team with Jagr and Lemieux, if 99 was still with the Oilers, zero chance this Pens team would beat the oilers all legends team.
stop it, Oilers were past their primes, you really believe Gretzky would turn sweeps to Stars and Hawks into series wins?
