4EverRangerFrank Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I didn't fully appreciate Jags at first. I thought he was too slow, looked like he was lumbering around the ice. Man was I wrong. The puck had to be made of steel and his stick a magnet. How he was able to work turns in such tight spaces between 2 opposing players and still come away with the puck was pure magic. *applause* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Definitely my favorite post 94 Ranger. There's a huge redemption side to that story. He was tainted goods when he arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Absolute stud - and I mean that in the most literal sense of the word and it's a shame he didn't/doesn't have a kid. But, I guess it's possible he wouldn't have been as good if he had a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 A true legend. "I don't care" https://detroit.cbslocal.com/2015/09/21/model-tries-to-extort-jaromir-jagr-over-photo-he-doesnt-care-starts-selfie-trend-photo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Jagr was completely electrifying in that 05-06 season. Timeless legend of the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I honestly thought he was at least in his early 50’s, didn’t realize how young he really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Happy birthday. Always loved that he wore 68 for the 1968 Prague Spring/Russian Invasion and secretly kept a photo of Ronald Reagan posted in his locker in high school. He deserves to celebrate with another workout with a nubile 18 year old. They keep him young! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 What Dunny and Karan said. That 2005-2006 Rangers team should hold a special place in our hearts. That was the team got the Rangers 'back' after seven long, dreadful years. Actually, eight if you include the year there wasn't a season. But, yeah, there was definitely some redemption there for him, plus some redemption for the Rangers who wanted to be a competitive team again. I felt it was the perfect storm. Watching him break Graves' and Ratelle's season record was magical. That whole line with Straka and Nylander, Lundqvist cementing his spot, it was just a really fun time. Even a first round exit by the Devils didn't dampen my spirit. I'm still really bummed he left after the 2008 season. I thought he should've been a Ranger until he retired, or for another few years, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix in 9 grinders and a D group that took no prisoners. Instant success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Going through that roster, I just realized that Nieminen was once traded, straight up, for Tikanen. LOL. That's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I was talking about him hahaha There was a former Leaf on The Fan a while ago, I think it was Mike Johnson, who was talking about how Danny Markov just walked in between periods and lit up after he came over from Russia. They made him stand in the laundry room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
