Quotes about jaromir (10 Quotes)




    I don't think it took a goalie change to do anything. After the second period, things were going good. It was just a matter of time. It was just the team's work ethic. And Jaromir Jagr stepped up for us.

    I remember sitting with Brooks in his office, in late December 1999, not long after he'd taken over as coach of the Jaromir Jagr -controlled Penguins. It was a job Brooks didn't even want, and when the season ended he would relinquish it. Yet he seized the team with all his gusto. I want speed, and excitement and I want our players to go out there and have the times of their lives, ... We're not going to be hanging around waiting for something to happen. We're going to make things happen ourselves.

    Jaromir wanted to make sure he was at least showing New Jersey we have some depth in our penalty killing. We rolled the dice. He went beyond what I expected. It shows he is a competitive person. I have no regrets. That's a decision I'll live with though and that's my responsibility.


    People like the glamour and the glamour with Scotty is his hits. That's what they remember. They don't want to talk about him taking the puck away from Jaromir Jagr with one hand or anything like that.

    Jaromir Jagr, from the Czech Republic, said that beyond the team-building, he had a better understanding of a soldier's life. It was tough, ... One thing you learn These guys are fighting for their lives. Hockey is nothing compared to that.

    I think everyone feels honored to be part of it. Jaromir comes to work every day and displays what you could only hope for in a player like that, with his work habits and the way he treats his teammates and the respect he shows the organization and the coaching staff.
