Is it possible that Mr. Jagr has turned the….umm, has reached a turning….um…has started to pick up his play for the stretch run? it sure appears that way. Even without Doobzilla Jagr was carrying the play when the puck was on his stick. A lot of that, I’m sure, is because of the ineptitude of this depleted Panthers team, but these are still NHL players, and Jaromir is still doing special things. I mentioned this earlier in the season, it’s mental with Jagr, when he thinks he can play like a beast, he plays like a beast, when he thinks he can’t he doesn’t. It’s not a question about laziness as much as its a question about confidence. When he has it, hes still a very special player.
Big 3rd period here, Rangers need to have a solid 60 minute effort going into Tuesdays trade deadline, especially for bubble players who may be traded (Dawes, Callahan, Hossa, Strudwick (bubble ECHL in his case), Hollweg, Malik, Mara (injured), Prucha(injured) all have to be worried for their jobs, and need to show Glen Sather why he should keep them).
