Jaromir Jagr was drafted in 1990 and is still playing in the NHL

[dterpsss]

wtf

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

I don't fukk with hockey like that... But I remember this dude doing interviews all swagged out in the early 90s on ESPN.
Dude was probably the cockiest euro in North American sports and I'm sure it rubbed some people the wrong way

Anyone that watched Sportscenter in the 90s heard his name. No way around it..... Unless you changed the channel anytime they said the word Hockey.

Young Reggie Dunlop needs to come back to the penguins before the end so they can give him a statue and I can hang out with him at 4:40 am in the rivers casino and hear his stories. Possibly the goat

I've NEVER watched a hockey game from start to finish a day in my life but 90's Sportscenter made these guys hella known:

Jaromir Jagr
Mario Lemuiex
Eric Lindros
Dominic Hasek
Mark Messier
Martin broduer
Brett Hull
Patrick Roy

There's dudes 10 years younger than Jagr that had 10+ year careers that are already retired and he's still playing at a high level.

 

[Jamal514]

So i guess there's a unwritten rule that nikkas can't goon him?

Anyone who does that is black balled for sure

And Gretzky, of course. They had special live reports on ESPN when he moved to LA in 93

Hockey's popularity in the US peaked during the 1994 Stanley cup with the Rangers... shyt was hot but they never took the next step (the lockout was the final blow).
Bettman was no Stern, Tagliabue or even Selig when it came to marketing either.

third all time in goals

Maybe hockey is just easy and doesn't require much else beyond skill, similar to QB except without the super athletic guys playing against you.

Yeah. Youve never played hockey. Its extremely physically demanding and takes a ton of skill.

You ever even laced up a pair of skates before?

 

[basketball reasons]

just imagine if he stayed with the pens. Him on a line with crosby or malkin Would be like if jordan played with kobe.

I have actually (i am from Canada originally). The average hockey player isn't nearly as strong as NFL players judging from NHL combine results. I stand by what I said. You should prove hockey players are as athletic as NFL or NBA players, and that Jagomir is playing against athletic competition.

are you equating needing to be athletic and requiring skill as the same thing, I'm confused by this post.

Was always my favorite player since the Sega Genesis days.



When I found out that if you jumble the letters in Jaromir, you can spell Mario JR
