  1. What a great player. He has the record for scoring all five ways in a game that I bet will never happen again. Wish his career wasn’t cut short because of cancer. Would he be the greatest?

  2. It’s water long, *long* gone under the bridge at this point, but I’ve still gotta wonder what could have been if the Devils had lost 2 more games in 1983-84…

  3. He skated and shot like that at 6’4″ 230lbs. Greatest player I’ve ever seen.

  4. I had the chance to see Jagr play a live game. I’ve been fortunate enough to see Sakic, Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, McDavid, Draisaitl, Selanne, (Patrick) Kane, and Iginla play. Bummed I never had the chance to see him.
