Jaromir Jagr

This is too many Jaromir Jagrs

Jaromir Jagr has played for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, New Jersey Devils, Florida Panthers, and now the Calgary Flames. Although we hate him, we are also in awe of him. Jagr’s joie de vivre and journeyman lifestyle has convinced a group of passionate folks to travel the continent wearing mullet wigs and seven different team jerseys. They are the Traveling Jagrs, and they are delightful.

On Saturday, in Calgary, the real Jagr surprised the Traveling Jagrs during a live TV interview. I think Jagr enjoyed it more than the Traveling Jagrs.

Jaromir Jagr on Hurricane Matthew: ‘I want to see how strong I am’

During the 2010 Winter Olympics, Alex Ovechkin rocked Jaromir Jagr with what he later would describe as “the best hit in my life.” Six years later, Jaromir Jagr’s body is ready for more devastation.

On Thursday, the NHL legend* spoke with the Miami Herald’s George Richards about Hurricane Matthew, the powerful Category 3 storm churning just off the Florida coast. The catastrophic storm was blamed for the deaths of more than 280 people in Haiti.

I’ll say this for the All-Star Game: it was entertaining. Just because the stakes were non-existent, the stretch passes were careless, and the skating was lackadaisical didn’t mean there was an absence of drama. Quite the opposite. Just look at hero of the day John Scott. Or, for a Caps-specific angle, how about Braden Holtby vs Jaromir Jagr.

Twice in the first period, Holtby, franchise goalie for the league-leading Capitals, faced Jagr, 43-year-old freak of nature and the single biggest agitator of the Caps since the early 1990s, twice in the first period.

The glorified three-on-three hockey tournament the NHL is calling the All-Star Game now has its captains. On Saturday afternoon, the NHL announced that Washington’s Alex Ovechkin will captain the Metropolitan Division all-star team.

The first round of players named to the all-star game also includes Jaromir Jagr, Patrick Kane, and John Scott. Along with Ovechkin, those players will serve as captains of their respective divisional teams.

Kane leads all players in points this season, Jagr leads all active players in career points, Ovechkin is one of the best scorers of all-time, and John Scott is a half-funny, half-cruel prank concocted by online fan voting.

Photo: NY Times

Alex Ovechkin has been an elite goal scorer since he first set foot in the NHL. He’s also has been one of the most feared body checkers in the league too. For instance, in Ovechkin’s first game as a Capital 10 years ago, he dislodged a pane of glass while hitting a Columbus Blue Jacket player behind the net.

In an interview with Graham Bensinger (which airs in its entirety this weekend), Ovechkin was asked what his biggest hit was.

“Probably [Jaromir] Jagr in Olympics,” Ovechkin said.

Alex Ovechkin is Already One of the Greatest Goal Scorers of All-Time According to Adjusted Stats

Alex Ovechkin can score goals. Everybody knows that. His lamp-lighting ability is unmatched in this generation (sorry, Stamkos). And as Ovechkin takes aim for Peter Bondra’s Capitals franchise goal record (472, just 23 away), I asked myself how the Russian machine stacks up against the league’s all-time greats.
