It was, and the Leafs were irate about Lowry because he was the closest player, and also allegedly poor Saddledome ice...blaming whoever and whatever.

Also, I had forgotten that Jagr had a gambling issue. Didn't that come back to bite him again a few years later?

To be honest, I think that's unfortunately followed him his whole career and even now.
There's more than the "love of the game" and "hometown" hero status as to why he's still playing. My guess is sure he owns his hometown team but he's got a lot of silent partners and creditors that have backed him over the years gambling-wise that need him to make a success of this, or, at least, not fail.
