Jaromir Jagr Played Quotations

Maybe we are not good enough yet. Maybe we're not there. Maybe it shouldn't surprise anybody. I thought we played good 5-on-5; the power play and the penalty kill, that's where we made our mistakes. Could we have won the game? Yes. But we lost it. I don't think we are worse than they are. Maybe we're not as talented.

Of course it's a big honor. The Rangers are an original six team. A lot of great players played hear -- Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier -- a lot of great players. It's a big honor to me.

If I played in the Czech Republic or elsewhere in Europe, However, I do not feel like making the change.

We played against very good teams, playoff teams for sure, maybe candidates to win the Stanley Cup. They're already playing playoff hockey and I don't think we're playing it yet. The two games teach us we are not there yet. We have to play smarter.

We played 50 minutes with everything under control. We just have to learn how to finish the last 10.

We knew it was not going to be easy for him. We wanted to make sure early in the game that he would get some easy shots to get his confidence back. It's not easy when you don't play for such a great time. And he did a great job. And we did a great job, too. They didn't get that many chances. I thought we played good.

First of all, when I was making the decision, I never thought that Pittsburgh fans would want me back. Every time I played there, they were booing me every time I touched the puck. I didn't think it would be such a big deal that I didn't sign with Pittsburgh.

They played well, but I'm not worried about it. We lost. But we proved we can play with anyone, beat anyone.

It's a big honor. Just look at all the players that played for the New York Rangers. Obviously, it's a big honor for me.

It wasn't easy. You could see us; we had to switch around. To survive until the third period, sometimes you just have to back up. If you had six defensemen, you wouldn't. We played too careful.

It was the kind of game that was played in the neutral zone rather than on net. Neither team had a lot of chances. They had a lot of guys back, especially against our line. We really played to their strength.

It was huge. We haven't played very well lately. But I'm happy we found a way to win.

I don't think they played their best. We as a team played a good hockey game.

You can't win with one goal. That's the bottom line. The way we played was not good.
