Jaromir Jagr Hockey Quotations

One positive thing is we don't have to travel very far. Maybe our fans will be in the building. Maybe it will feel like seven home games. It's good for hockey and it's good for New York. More people are going to get interested in the playoffs.

I did what I had to do. Play as hard as I can until the last minute. I knew we weren't going to win the hockey game ... It might be a long series. Every shift can mean a lot later on.

I thought we were going to win. Some calls were tough against us, some calls were fair. We had a 2-0 lead, we should have been able to win the hockey game.

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.

Tom is a great guy. He's not only a good coach but I think he understands the life of the hockey player and how important it is off the ice to treat the players. The chemistry on the team is great and, so far, it's been fun for everybody here.

We need to get it right or it's going to be even harder to win hockey games later on. If you want to be good in this league and compete for the playoffs, you need to be good on home ice. We weren't able to do it the last two games.

They're hot and it's always great to play your best hockey before the playoffs. But it's going to stop somewhere, you know? Nothing lasts forever and hopefully we can stop them. But it's not going to be easy.

It's always great to play your best hockey before the playoffs. They're hot, but it has to stop somewhere.

It was great for the New York fans and all the hockey fans. If you're a player like Mark and play so many years in the NHL and did so much for hockey he truly deserved it. He brought the Cup here to New York in 1994 and the people love him, so he deserved it.

I know him, and he's a big part of our hockey club and it's going to be a big challenge.

If you want to win the hockey games you have to make sure you score on the power play and make sure they don't score on the power play. We knew special teams were gonna be huge.

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

My goal was to play in the NHL, because that is the best hockey in the world.

I love to play for Pittsburgh. If they can't afford me, then I'd love to play in L.A. or New York.

Most people have friends, but no money. I have the opposite. I don't have a chance to talk to my real friends, the ones I've had since I was 5 years old. Sometimes I wish I could bring Czechoslovakia to America. Then I would be the happiest guy in the world.

Old people, don't watch it because you might die just watching it.

Every time I see you naked, I feel sorry for your wife.

You could say it if you want to use that excuse. We lost the hockey game. We didn't play well enough to win it. We didn't deserve to win it.
