Jaromir Jagr Is Leaving The NHL Again
Jaromir Jagr cleared waivers today, and the Calgary Flames announced that the 45-year-old winger would be moving on from the NHL and returning to the Czech Republic as a player on HC Kladno.

Someone Give Jaromir Jagr A Dang Phone Call
Jaromir Jagr played pretty well, not just for a 45-year-old, but for any hockey player in 2017. He notched 16 goals and 30 assists for the Florida Panthers, and Jagr was first on the team in net on-ice shot attempts.

The Time Ted Leonsis Invited Me Over To Show How The NHL Is In The Tank For The Penguins
In March 2010 Ted Leonsis asked me to meet him.

Jaromir Jagr Gave Up His 10 Cups Of Coffee Per Day For Lent
I am starting to think that Jaromir Jagr has an unhealthy relationship with caffeine. Long known as a militant Diet Coke drinker—at least five a day, “no vitamins, nothing”—Jagr this year switched to coffee, and upped his intake to what for a normal human would be a frightening quantity of the stuff...
Jaromir Jagr Remembers His Very First Goal, And His Beautiful Mullet
Maybe it's Jaromir Jagr's last season; maybe not, since he did put up 67 points for the Devils last year. But just on the chance that this'll be his last run, let's not wait for the silver anniversary. It was 24 years ago today that a bemulleted Penguins rookie scored his first NHL goal....
Fan Tries To Take Selfie In Front Of Jaromir Jagr, Gets Jagrbombed
Just great work by everyone involved here. That's perfect framing by the selfie taker to get himself, Jagr, and bewildered Devils lady Cory Schneider in the picture, and Jagr has just the right mix of mischievousness and nonchalance that's needed to pull off a good photobomb. ...
