deluca67 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Jagr is off to a great start and the NHL can use all the stars it can muster. But why is he soooooo lazy. If he had the drive of a Gretzky, which he has to have a bit t get to this level, he would be the best player in the game. He just seems not to care when he doesn't have the puck. That drives me crazy. I hate seeing talented players just waste it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jagr Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 A good example was when I hooked the Sabre that was a couple strides ahead of me instead of hustling back to backcheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blugold43 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 ...and then whined to newsday that the sabres were holding me all night! i've always tried to give him the benefit of the doubt for being such a great player, but geez what a pu$$y!

BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 he's brutal... had to watch him too many nights living in Pittsburgh ... i could not deal with him if he was on the Sabres, just frustrating as hell the way he plays.

Taro T Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I don't think it's that he's lazy so much as he HATES getting touched, much less hit. I was listening to GR a bit on the ride home. The announcers couldn't understand why everyone in the rink was booing him. They thought it was because he makes a lot of money. It wasn't that (IMHO), it was more a case of him being one of the few stars that can be thrown off his game when he meets a little adversity. (Plus, it's just fun to boo the guy.)

My brother was at the game and he said that Jagr looked like he was crying after that goal was disallowed in the 3rd. The fans got on him after that.

So what my brother told me was actually true? He tends to make up stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 So what my brother told me was actually true? He tends to make up stuff like this. Well, I don't know that Jagr was crying (my seats are WAY too high up to see the whites of their eyes) but he did go on for quite a while arguing the issue. Also, he had been getting sporadically booed prior to that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
