Jaromir Jagr's Legacy | Celebrate 68
Спорт
“I just think, number one, it’s time that we had this type of ceremony,” said Penguins color analyst Phil Bourque, who played a key role in facilitating the ‘Celebrate 68’ festivities. “Especially in the new building here where we’ve had some great moments, but we haven’t had this kind of ceremony in a long, long time in this city, for this team.
“And number two, even though he played for a bunch of other teams, everybody remembers Jaromir Jagr for what he did as a Pittsburgh Penguin.”

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.

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.
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 😎
I’m just glad I was alive to witness it! Legendary!

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....
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!
Jagr, The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.
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.

А был такой момент в истории, что бы Чехословакию оккупировала СССР?)) Тат то, СССР освободило Вас от фашизма))
The Man The Mullet The Legend
The best European born player, ever. He deserves to be mentioned with Gretz and Lemieux.
He's still active, keep him going!!! Jagr is a monster
Probebly the most talanted five of all time Jagr Lemieux Francis
Our legend 💪🏻🇨🇿
We love you and that beautiful hair of yours!!!❤❤❤
68 ❤
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.
he is one of the greats.
The best tandem ever? No argument from me.
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.
Why is Eddie Olczyk calling him Geno? When was that ever his nickname?

Isn't that what they call Malkin?
Best alien ever. Thank you Jagr
Big time legend
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.

Just saw a video where Jags told Geno that his nickname also used to be Geno. They used to call Jags, Geno Casino back when he was big into gambling. Makes sense now.
They called him Gino ??? I've never heard him called that before.

Exactly… geno is shortened Evgeni - so fine for Malkin, not for Jagr
The best Dallas Star to ever play the game.
Forever.

He talks about Jagr and says “Geno”? Why?

Noticed that too, got his nicknames mixed up I think 😂
Geno, when did they ever call Jagr Geno?
He said Geno twice. I am missing something here 😂😂 Jagr not Malkin.

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?
