I'm guessing he'll wear 68

 

[ELYEAH82]

I'm guessing he'll wear 68

Maybe 34 since he is half the player since he left?

Hm... interesting speculation... Who are your sources?

Maybe 34 since he is half the player since he left?

Hey, I'll take 50 points.

The eagle has landed. I repeat, the eagle has landed. The mullet flies at midnight.

*clears throat* I leave for one minute, and you guys fall apart. Okay, so I left for like 9 hours. STILL. Trusting ESPN? It's okay, I would've done the same thing. Updates are: Jagr's agent spoke with Rossi this morning (who is the ONLY source I'm trusting from here on out) saying they will speak with Shero momentarily (probably already did) and expected a decision soon. He said Jagr made it into NYC and to a hotel around 945pm last night. MEANWHILE, freaking Brooksie says Jagr is at WIMBLEDON and not in NYC.

We'll see what happens... I'm sure he wants to come to Pittsburgh, but Pittsburgh must also be the least attractive of teh offers... according to the Post-Gazette, Jagr's camp will speak with Shero this afternoon... the article said, Jagr may have a decision by the end of day..

Hey now, somebody was the voice of skepticism and reason! Hmmmpf.

At least we all know by now that Jagr has matured and he no longer brings drama to everything like he did at times in the past.

I think the fans made this more dramatic than it needed to be honestly. We made it a huge deal, thus any move/word that was said on twitter became news, even though more than 80% of the time it was just someone wanting to make up news. Before twitter this would be barely any news. A few weeks back someone would've said "The Pens have interest in signing Jagr." And sure, people would've gotten excited but it would've calmed down after a week of no news, a signing/no signing would've happened at some point, and end. We (Pens fans) made the drama.

If the Flyers fans get to talk about hypotheticals with Stamkos then I want hypotheticals about Jagr! As much as the two sides hate each other, we're too much a like.

 

[pixburgher66]

I'm just saying that a lot of people are saying "Oh, well with all this drama there's no way Shero will wait for Jagr *blah blah blah*", when in reality, WE'RE creating this drama with countless rumors from different directions, when in reality, we should only be listening to a few sources: Jagr's agent, the Pens, the Wings, the Habs potentially, and a very very select few writers (Rossi really). THOSE people have said absolutely nothing. His agent is saying they're mulling things over and that he's taking his time to make the right decision. And honestly, the comments from his agent are still not coming from reputable sources.

As of moments ago, PIT had heard absolutely nothing from Jaromir Jagr on his intentions for next season. #jaromirbeingjaromir

at least stamkos is a legit player.. jagr was legit 15 years ago.

 

[pixburgher66]

People are just getting a little ridiculous. After the "emotions" of yesterday people are running with anything and everything they hear.

 

[DChero]

Don't take this from me, Pix. I need this. This my sports dead time. No NFL, the Pirates games aren't broadcast down here in Atlanta (can't convert to the Braves), the Penguins don't play for a couple of months..

 

[pixburgher66]

Pirates games are tough to find to. I could find a free stream of every Steelers and Pens game this year, but never Pirates games. And it has been a fun little thing, JagrWatch that is, BUT, it was fun last week, and 2 days ago. Yesterday just got weird. Pens fans sort of hit a creepy low (I love the Pensblog guys, but that was a new low, stalking the airport is creepy, etc.). At least we're being taught some patience. All I know is that Shero is 100x's more patient than us fans.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I can confirm that Jagr was not at Rock Bottom in the waterfront from noon until 1 today and he has not been at Caribou in Oakland since around 1:20.....

FYI!!!!

True on all accounts. I haven't checked to see who the stars are that become UFAs next year, but it'll probably be better than the Jagr/Stamkos headlines this season. Brad Richards is the most sought after player available and hardly anyone's talking about it.

I think Jagr and his agent had something to do with the drama the last few days.
