He had a some good spurts and it was certainly exciting.

I was fortunate enough to see him live a few times at his best with the Flames. When he was on, he was a lot of fun to watch. He was really, really slow, but he could find guys with passes without even looking. Still wish it worked out better.

Really the problem was he rushed into the lineup to start the year after having no training camp.

Taking a while to get to 5000
I was at the Minnesota game when he tore his groin. First time getting to see Jagr live oddly enough.

Thanks for posting this, still satisfying to vote for Jagr as a Flame.
Short run, but memorable.

I honestly thought if he kept up his training the summer prior, he could've continue playing on till now and get to 2000 points.

Watching those highlights, it's a shock to me that Jagr only had 7 points in 22 games. I am positive that if he played a full season in Calgary, fully conditioned and all, we could have seen another 50/60 point season from him.

Scoring Winger
I mean still super cool he played his last game, scored his last goal with the flames. I have no regrets buying that jersey

The events that unfolded on CP after Jagr's signing really showed the power, drive, and generosity of the CP community when everyone came together to bring arguably the biggest Flames fan in the Czech Republic (Could probably put just biggest Flames fan) to Calgary for a few games. Albeit, Jagr was not playing in Calgary anymore by the time calgaryboy was able to make it here, it was still a very memorable time on CP.

It's still insane to me that I got to cover what could be the last games of Jagr's NHL career.

He has got to be the greatest player to ever wear a Flames Jersey.. cant think of anyone else who would be close.

I like that he's 48 years old and hasn't played an NHL game in over 2 years, but it's still not certain that he has played his last game.
