Hockey is amazing.
I hope it gets more amazing and the Rangers bounce Crosby & Co.
Agreed. I find it amazing that the Penguins fans would boo Jagr like they do. He helped the Penguins win two Stanley cups, and they boo him. Is it because of the things he said about Crosby? Because if not, what the hell?Quote:

It's not Crosby related, they've been booing him for years.
You mean he left for Washington to free up money for Pittsburgh? Or he left Pittsburgh to help Washington? Which team was bankrupt at that time?Quote:

"It happened eight years ago and nobody knew the truth," Jagr said. "Yes I did, I told [general manager] Craig Patrick I wanted to be traded. But this is the real reason I did it.. I was sad when they traded me.
"Maybe I could have pushed them to find the money or maybe get the new arena. But when you are a young player you don't think like a businessman. You don't understand how tough it is to make money."
Speaking of that new arena, thats a done deal right? Teey got someone to buy the team, but was not sure if the arena issue was settled yet.
Advocate is shooting orange and black loads after that 2nd period.
