Jaromir Jagr Cannot Quotations

The Rangers could spend $80 million before, now they cannot do it, ... Every time they make a move, it's got to be a good move and make sense. Before, because we could spend money here in New York, you had to get somebody to satisfy the fans and sometimes too much is not good. You need a lot of hard-working guys and every superstar needs their ice time to be that superstar. If you've got so many of them, somebody is going to get left behind.

Two weeks, I can't get rid of it. It gets worse and worse and I cannot take anything. I can't sleep from the coughing.

The players don't play the position game as much as we used to play. A lot of young guys go up and down, shoot the puck, go for the rebounds. You're getting tired quicker because the body has to react where the puck is going to go. You cannot read it, because you don't have the puck on your stick.

What can they tell us? They cannot give you any strong medicine because they drug test you and when you play it's not easy. As long as I can go a little bit, I'm going to play. If I know 100 percent I wouldn't get better, I wouldn't play.

If the pain lets me play a little bit, I'll be on the ice. That's what I can guarantee. I don't know when or how long it's gonna take. It's not easy, but it's done. I cannot take it back ... I'm hoping I can play in this series.

Before, we just couldn't lose. Now, it looks like we just cannot win.

I cannot hide behind the bench and wait for somebody else. I'm the highest-paid guy on the team. Who else is going to do it? That's my job. If I cannot do it, there's no reason to be here. I have to score goals for this team to win.

I cannot really lift my arm or do anything.
