The news/rumors must be flying around Pittsburgh because my Facebook page is littered with non-hockey fans talking about Jagr being back.

I'm on a bus right now and Twitter isn't refreshing. Counting on you guys if it's announced in the next thirty minutes.

Turtles fucking on the runway have apparently delayed Jagr's plane from landing on time @ JFK... no, I'm not making this up

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!?!?!



Edit: Not about the turtles. But I just want this saga to end...happily. I didn't have plans to sit on the computer all night, but it's looking that way. At least I have rum here.

Hearing Jagr has signed with Pens, but not confirmed yet

Take that for what it's worth. Don't know how reliable that is...

ok, this shit is getting annoying now...

Dunno why it didn't go thru but before Talbot nonsense I tweeted a Jagr update: So as of about 30 mins ago, PIT had heard nothing from him.

Okay, so he's not some random, but I definitely don't know how reliable he is vis a vis breaking news.

Thanks Bob. We really wanted your million tweets about Talbot first.

Can somebody explain to me why Jagr is such a big deal? He's 39 years old. He's nowhere near the player he once was. It's not like Jagr is going to be the difference between winning & losing the Cup.

Adding an aging Winger with his abilities could be huge for the Pens. If he pans out it could be huge. Did you happen to catch Mark Recchi in the playoffs?

Completely disagree. Please tell me who scored for the Penguins in games six and seven when they won the Cup? Jordan Staal, Tyler Kennedy, Max Talbot. Secondary scoring can be huge during the playoffs when teams put their entire focus on shutting down Crosby and Malkin. Another 40-50 point player isn't going to hurt.

Also, the powerplay.

People said the same thing about Bill Guerin...

So you guys are saying he's worth a 2 million dollar cap hit? He's been away for awhile. That's a lot of money for a ?
