News Article: Jaromir Jagr compliments Montreal Canadiens fans attitude, loyalty/passion for Habs

[Emanresu Wen]

MT would've misused him sooooooooooooooooo badly. Florida is the perfect fit for him.

Huge mistake on every level...

Would've been great mentor for Galch & other young skill guys
Would've been great for our pp
Would've been great for marketing dept
Would've been great for international/Europe brand
Would've been great for our biggest need (top 6 W talent)

And he wanted to play here
And he had proven chemistry with Pleks
And he has the personality, and pedigree, to handle Mtl media/fan pressure


About as no brainer a signing as you could get.

MB made no attempt to sign him.

Nuff said

Exactly this. Look at the things he's done for Barkov and Hubardeau.

By far the move that has pissed me off over the years about bergevin, not signing jagr when he said he wanted to come here. He would be such a fan favorite beating all those records and he would be such a good mentor for galchenyuk, gallagher and all of the otber younger players

For all the talk about Jagr, he would not be breaking all those records in a Therrien system. Poor Jagr would be playing with Mitchell and Byron on nights with 14 minutes a game because he would not grind. When he was good he might get to play with the mighty DDH but his lease would be short.

I don't buy this for a second. Its ****ing Jagr. The guy would make Therrien quiver like a little ***** by his mere presence.

You need to have a brain to quiver at greatness.

Hmmm, you might have a point here.

Therrien somehow in his mind thinks he's Scotty Bowman. In my years of watching hockey I have not hated a coach so much as this @#$ for brains. To have a GM to support and bring this guy in and keep him with every opportunity passing him.....

How the hell do you pass on a player like Jagr? Fellow countryman Plekanec would elevate his game to the Plek's we are use to & love. Guys like Eller would learn at ton from him. There's a reason Florida is so good and his positive influence is a big factor.

Therrien is authoritarian and wanted dump and chase. It wouldn't have worked and it's probably why we didn't sign him. MB probably knew that Jagr wouldn't fit with the system and we chose Therrien over Jagr.

(And I just threw up)

What a game that 6-5 victory was.I still remember where I was and with whom.It was nuts.
