1 goal and 1 assist for #68 tonight.
I think we're so used to 'player speak' to the media that it's odd to hear someone being so open and honest, kind of how he admitted in his introduction presser how he wasn't in game shape and it's going to take him a bit to get to speed. I'm sure all players feel the same way when coming back from an injury, just a bit different hearing Jagr actually voice that concern.
