Flyers' Jagr happy for NHL comeback
VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) - September 17, 2011
Jagr returned to league, signing with the Philadelphia Flyers to
win a championship and prove he can still play at an All-Star level
even at 39.
Jagr hit the ice with the Flyers for the first time this
weekend. He joked that he thought "what am I doing?" as he pulled
on the Flyers sweater for the first time.
Jagr says he may not dominate like he once did in his prime with
Pittsburgh, Washington and New York. But he expects to become a
valuable contributor to a team that underwent a massive roster
shakeup over the summer.
Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren says Jagr is in tremendous
shape, a natural leader, and still has one of the hardest shots on
the team.
