"i was better than when i was 15 years ago, but everybody got so much better!"what a great answer!
I fucking love how humble he is.
Shakil LMFAO
this guy is like wine.... he keeps getting better with age !
Im in my 40s. When i was a Pee Wee, this guy was winning stanley cups in the Burg. Fast forward 30 years, hes still playing. #Legends
Even by 80’s standards in America, his hair was epic!!!
This guy is still sharp as a tack after putting his body through an untouchable marathon of modern hockey. He clearly knows how to take care of himself.
Jagr is a gem that needs to be cherished.
Bruh 2023 this guy is still legend for me! 💯🙏
One of the greatest ever! We are watching a legend play!
he sounds like Arnold schwarstager
Schwarzenegger nigga
+guntiesnipes85 Schwarzjagr
+guntiesnipes85 He sounds little bit like Trump
+Filip Machala :-D
but his accent is better I would say.. :D
Jagr is one of my favorite players ever. He has the skill and talent we all envy. He has class. He is a true legend!
How many players can say, "I better now then I was in my prime 15 YEARS AGO. Jagr was a beast
Jagr is just a regular dude, would love to hang out with him and chat about the game.
The Pride of Our Country :)
True legend!!
I think he meant that he knows the game better now than 15 years ago, but he was faster 15 years ago, and didn't have to battle injuries. But it's good he confesses the game develops all the time. Some people try to compare the amount of points Jagr got in the 2000's to what Gretzky got in the 70-80's. It's like comparing pears to apples. The game is so much faster, tactically smater and more professional today. At the same time, the late 90's early 2000's were harder for skilled players than the NHL is today, because they were allowed to hold and hook players back then. Jagr always had a guy or two as a "backpack".
the terminator of hockey.
Legend! Great interview, great responses from Jagr.
Best guy I’ve ever seen..
best quote u don't have to be strong anymore #90s hockey man # scott stevens
i honestly love this man hahahahha
What a legend
#67, really?
Yeah, noticed that as well. Like really, he's the one and only #68. Jagr = #68 & #68 = Jagr.
melker karlsson wears 68
Hky03 MAX PACIORETTY!
They were showing his age
If anyone was wondering JAGR played with the pens Washington New York philly Dallas New Jersey and Florida and Boston, if anyone was wondering
And Calgary
Nah just the Penguins
Legend
I don't think any body will beat Wayne Gretzky in points overall but I think jagr will be at 2nd overall and that's it
If Wayne Gretzky never scored an NHL goal, he'd still have more points than Jagr pr Lemieux. A little food for thought. I would love to see Jagr surpass Mario, as much as I love both.
Love the laugh when he sees himself in 1990. :D
Always loved Jagr,those curls;)💋❤
Jaromir yuo are best hockey player period.🙏greetings from finlad
I mean finnland
Jaromir Jagr, you sexy beast
He is NOT the player he was 15 years ago.. I think he's being way too nice to the current players by saying that. He does not have the quickness or the hands he once had. Still a great player but he was off the hook back in the day and could easily still be winning scoring titles in today's NHL.
what a god
he still looks the same. guy never ages. 50 looking 35
THE G.O.A.T
his number is 68 not 67
+Shelby Jackson was he at the allstar game?
Jagr on NHL cover!!!
How does he look so young ?
Kypreos as the interviewer.
What video were they referencing in this interview at 2:10?

+Slap Games watch?v=hRqT6fU-jIk
what video are they talking about
He has gotta be better than he was when NHL average skill level was lower, not talking about the superstars they can manage in every era but I bet third and fourth lines are lot better than 15-20 years ago
I'd like to hear what he thinks today
The National Mullet Commission has ranked Jagr the 5th best mullet in human history. His hair was a work of Art. The competition was tough-
10. David Hasselhoff
9. Patrick Swayze
8. George Clooney
7. Kurt Russell
6. Brian Bosworth
*5. Jaromir Jagr*
4. John Stamos
3. Billy Ray Cyrus
2. George Michael
1. Mel Gibson
GET TO THE CHOPPER!!!
nice...today J.Jágr : 2+2 Sparta vs Kladno 4:8
Jiager jager hockey card
You don't have to even be strong anymore. That statement says it all. 3:34... Very interesting. Lose instigator and you will rival the NFL in 5 years.
exactly
HE LOOKS 25
How old is he? He doesnt seem to age.
vincent chase hahaha
Jagr is number 68 not 67. Come on sportsnet...
Well there ya go, he admits its a softer easier game to play today and it sure is. What a shame betteman ruined certain aspects of the game for sure. It was way harder to be a hockey player pre lockout for sure. You needed huge balls to play then, not so much today at all so sad
Tell us how you really feel.
+Michael Joseph ya but you need way more skill, and speed. Todays players are in much better shape and have so much more skill then 20 years ago
B-Mac There is no yeah but lol Yeah looks like Jagre is struggling to show us all how god you have to be. No denying the increased skill level but that is not the argument with respect to what was a better game to play. Trust me Lemuix Forseberg Messier any of the list of nhl legends of the past who have retired could easily play and do just as well in todays nhl with the composite sticks 900 skates etc. I have way more respect for old school pre lockout NHL players than I do today i dont care how much fancy skill you have. Lets see you do it like these guys did with spears in their chests and crosschecks and hacks and holds.. Way different game and what it meant to be a player. Now you have the soft pussified NHL with ticky tacky soft calls that are ridiculous. I loved the 80 lates 90s era I played in and I played through both and there is no comparison we where dumping idiots all over the place and the kids cry now if you touch them. Not to mention they dont know how to deal with the hacks and holds and clutch its like they go into shock and you can see they do not have that skillset and would get demolished by a pack of old schools with new school technology and old school rule. I blame betteman for this lol
Jgriffy I just did you jackass
exactly. agree 100% with you bud
why is leo komarov in this...
hes a 3rd line grinder at most
Because he is having a good year the real question was why john scott was in the all star game
+Michael Bohn fuck you. John Scott is a legend
+Kevin Shields (AddictiveGamer19) ha lol yeaaaaaaa okay 11 points in how many years he has been in the nhl
+Michael Bohn John Scott is a fucking legend.
+Undefeated Visuals 11 POINTS IN HOW MANY YEARS HE HAS IN THE NHL HE IS NOT A LEGEND
Drink a shot of vodka every time he says "you know"
boss
he is kinda Chuck Norris of hockey :D
4 years ago and now the dude has gray hairs? Russia what are you doing to this man?
Sounds like he's going to retire by the end of the season....
no american, no canadian but czech
FIRST COMMENT!
+Brian Steeves I dont mean to offense, Brian, but what you wrote is not a comment. Comment has a content. Your exclamation is an equivalent to posting selfies or to writing your initials into a tree´s bark.You shout "I exist!"
At least, that´s how I see it. :-) (And I know I can be totally wrong at any point in my life (that helps me a lot :-D ))
+Kuba Hala being jealous that you didn't get first comment is embarrassing brotato
Hahahaha good stuff! Yet another NHLer who is just one of the guys... They make other pro athletes look bad
Not true jags, you watch and copy me, I don't mind cuz I'm not anybody
No...your SLOWER than you were 15 years ago
