Jaromir Jagr Quotations

We don't score many goals. Of course, I'm frustrated. Who wouldn't be? You don't want to lose three straight at home. And you've got a tough schedule coming up to. I'm more upset than frustrated.

You have to play the game to feel how well you're playing. You know sooner or later you're going to come back. We were down two goals because we were making mistakes, not because we were playing poorly, and it almost cost us the game.

You have to make sure you score at home because on the road you don't see many hats. That's a tradition, that's the way it is. I don't ask why or when this started.

You have to have guts to do that move. In front of 20,000 people watching you, it's not that easy to do.

With his size, that's the way you have to play when you're a younger guy and you have to play in the big leagues. Some guys don't have to work because they're big and it comes easy to them.

You have to get used to it. It's not easy. I felt a little bit better than I did before. You play the North American style and you play that kind of game, but now you have to play a different game. Even though it's the same rules, it's a different game.

What fans? Somebody forgot to tell them it was a 1 o'clock game.

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.

I think the whole league has changed. There are a lot of guys changing teams. It's going to be a different league than ever before.

It is awfully exhausting and devastating. This is sport and sometimes it simply does not work.
