Cervenka: Here in Russia centers are supposed to skate back and help their defensemen. We don’t do this in Czech Republic. I didn’t play defense over there. I like it better here because I play on the left wing and there’s no problem.

Not a joke, but a poor translation (it was originally a russian-language interview with Jagr translating Cervenka's czech into russian and adding his own comments in russian, can be found here
http://www.peoples.ru/sport/hockey/roman_cervenka/). What Jagr said is that Cervenka "didn't have any luck" or didn't work out or, simply put, failed as center in KHL.
