Jaromir Jagr Great Quotations

Of course it's a big honor. The Rangers are an original six team. A lot of great players played hear -- Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier -- a lot of great players. It's a big honor to me.

He's a great guy. He's not only good coach, but I think he understands the life of hockey, how important is it off the ice, to even treat the players off the ice, not only on the ice. The chemistry on team, it's great. It's so far been fun for everybody here.

I am happy for it. Look at the great players here in the past 80 years.

Tom is a great guy. He's not only a good coach but I think he understands the life of the hockey player and how important it is off the ice to treat the players. The chemistry on the team is great and, so far, it's been fun for everybody here.

We knew it was not going to be easy for him. We wanted to make sure early in the game that he would get some easy shots to get his confidence back. It's not easy when you don't play for such a great time. And he did a great job. And we did a great job, too. They didn't get that many chances. I thought we played good.

We've had such a great year and we don't want to give it away. Why? It just happened. We're not happy with the way we played. We have to play better in the playoffs and we have two games to go to get us there.

It was great for the New York fans and all the hockey fans. If you're a player like Mark and play so many years in the NHL and did so much for hockey he truly deserved it. He brought the Cup here to New York in 1994 and the people love him, so he deserved it.

It's always great to play your best hockey before the playoffs. They're hot, but it has to stop somewhere.

It's a big satisfaction. Look at all the great players here in the past 80 years.

It's good for him and it's good for his confidence. I thought (Sweden) had the best lineup, the best individuals and Henrik. He was playing great but if he was just playing good, they'd win. For our team (in the playoffs), he has to play great.

They're hot and it's always great to play your best hockey before the playoffs. But it's going to stop somewhere, you know? Nothing lasts forever and hopefully we can stop them. But it's not going to be easy.
