Just for the record, after snubbing Lemieux and Pens nation this past week, Jagr can go fuck himself.

@insaneiaq lol one of the best players in the nhl loyal penguin for many years and this is how his "fans" treat him when he decides to join a team that's offering a better salary and had better players on it cant Waite untill jagr shits on you pengs our first match up like ovechkin does

[insaneiaq]

@ckyownz9 A team with better players? Are you kidding me? The Flyers just traded away two of their best players in their prime and picked up a role player in Talbot and a 39 year old has-been in Jagr. Its not that Jagr decided to sign with the Flyers, its how he went about doing it. Saying things like his heart is in Pittsburgh and how he would like to come back and retire a Penguin were just salt in the wound. I guess you wouldn't understand as nobody of value has been a Flyer since Clarke

@insaneiaq Hahaha u sickminded asshole!!Philadelphia is better choice for Jagr,everyone knows that.Pens should by grateful for everything that Jaromír does for them and not spit on his head!

[insaneiaq]

@vojczech You mean what he DID for the team over a decade ago? You're crazy if you don't think Pens fans cheered like crazy for him and embraced him for ten years. We were ready to forgive and forget all the problems he caused and welcome him home with open arms. Don't think for a minute his jersey wouldn't be hanging in the rafters next to 66. What does he do? He goes and signs with out in-state rival after leading everyone on that he would come back and finish it all where it started.

95/96 nhl season

Mario - 161 points

Jagr - 149

Francis 119

Nedved 99

now thats what I call a high scoring team

[insaneiaq]

@TBoneMontana

That's exactly why I consider that playoff loss to the Panthers far worse than this years. Pens had a decent season, but 93 and 96 are prime examples

of better teams that did not win the cup. Just wasn't our year.

jagr is the best!! his moves were unreal

@insaneiaq and vojczech - I'll help you settle your debate. Jagr is a legend and should always be treated as such by Penguins fans. Sad how fairweather fans cannot appreciate the greatness for what it was. His jersey should hang from their rafters.

Secondly, Philly was definitely the right choice for him. Although they DON'T have better players, Jagr would get more of a chance to dictate the game, never mind that the 2 million contract offered him was complete and utter garbage.

@insaneiaq

Jagr gave a decade of his life to Pittsburgh and over 1000 points. He won the league scoring title five times(!) when playing for the Pens. Now, if the Pittsburgh fans have the attitude that they're "ready to forgive" the prodigal son and mercifully take him back to their ranks, is it really any wonder that he didn't blindly and humbly accept the first offer he got?

Remember: HE didn't reject the offer, Pens withdrew the sad 2M offer when he negotiated with other teams.

[PurgetheInsanity]

@insaneiaq no idea why he signed with the flyers other then he wants to win a cup or has connections there. but jagr gave pittsburgh fans 2 cups and teams to cheer for and that is the thanks he gets. psssh. spoiled rotten imo.

@insaneiaq

I'm just wildly happy he didn't go to Detroit. I've loved Jagr since before we (Colorado) had the Avs, but that would still be a tough cheer in my mouth.

Welcome back to the NHL, Jagr! Can't wait to see your Flyers get your asses kicked by the Avs... Yea, ok, even I couldn't say that with a straight face...

[TheoBrixtonTheKid]

@ckyownz9 insane was right you guys don't have shit now. you went from being a mediocre team to being nothing now. i find it hilarious that flyer hockey embraces hard work and hard hitting forwards then you go and pick up 39 yr old Jaromir Jagr and pump his tires like you're all in love with him. you'll see how disappointing he will be in due time.

[ChachaChapati]

Jagr not signing with the Pens may have been a blessing in disguise. We shall wait and see.

[UnOrIngInal]

he is a flyer now baby!!!!!!! shoes the cry baby penguins that they can only handle one superstar let alone one who dosent cry everygame!!! The best is how the penguins wanted him and the flyers got him. Ever here the saying "its like stealing candy from a baby."!!!!
