Jaromir Jagr writes from Dallas

[Snooki Stackhouse]

I wish I was older to truly appreciate Jagr with the Pens. The city (and me) tries to pretend they hate Jagr, but he's such a fantastic player. I love watching him play to this day. One of the best ever IMO.

[SEALBound]

Now that he is not on Philly...I'm pro-Jags again. Go get em ol timer!

[Unaffiliated]

Love Jagr.

[GuineaPig]

******* do I love Jagr.

[czechmate25]

Increased his own record of points in season openers. What a performance tonight!

[The Moose]

If he played in NHL 2008-2011 he would have had a chance for #2 all time regular season points. Great great player!

Jagr says hello to all his haters.

[plikestechno]

It's only one game but boy, he whipped it out tonight. Philly could have used him today LOL. Selanne and him might play forever. Why not, if they can still produce.

[Riddum]

Prime Jagr would murder this league. Jagr is easily a top 10 G.O.A.T... and the European GOAT.

[edruga]

Holy hell what a beast of a hockey player.

Indeed. Such a shame he went to Russia.

They interviewed him after the game and he said he didn't feel well and was feeling sick.

He said he should get better as the season wears on.

Can't wait for all the haters when he doesn't wear down this season and finishes in the top 10 in scoring. He has so much more left in the tank than some want to believe.

Decent player.

That is some serious resume for a guy who played all his games after the 80's. Highest scoring player who had started the career same time as he did. Without going to the KHL for a while he could be the second highest scoring player EVER. Only one in the top-17 to NOT start career in the 80's or earlier. The 18th being Selanne.

Great points. Jagr would easily have scored 2100 points if he had not left for Russia for 3 whole years.

Selanne and Jagr have obviously some of the 10 most impressive stats of all time, no doubt about it!

Not to mention all the lockouts Jagr has gone through, holding his totals back.

[NYR94]

He was flying last night and drawing a lot of attention from Phoenix defenders which meant more room for his teammates.

[DatsyukNumberOne*]

lol, I said in the TSN top 50 players for this season thread that Jagr not being listed was a crime and everyone made fun of me..dude is going to be top 10 in scoring.
