Holy crap. You are absolutely right.

Wow. If I were their coach I'd be tearing heads off. It infuriated me just watching that clip.

To me it's between Jagr and Lidstrom. Good arguments for either.

Agreed. For me Jagr has had a more impressive career, but if I had to pick one to play on my team it would be Lidstrom.

I hated Jagr when I was growing up cause he would always torch the Flames. Now, I love the man. Such an unbelievable player. I wouldn't mind seeing him right behind Gretzky for all time points when it's all said and done.

But did the stint in the KHL help him prolong his career in that the league is not as physically grueling as the NHL?

Didn't even realize that he's already the all time leader in Game winners

No. Because the comparison is spending those younger years still in the NHL. The KHL might not be quite as rough and tumble, but it's not physio rehab, it won't improve your longevity once you leave it.
