Pittsburgh Penguins, Jaromir Jagr

Pittsburgh Penguins great and future hall of famer Jaromir Jagr knows his game is not even remotely close to what it used to be when he dazzled fans at The Igloo. After 1,733 games and 24 seasons in the NHL, plus 407 more games in the KHL, and Czech and Czech 2 leagues, the two-time Stanley Cup Champion is hanging on by a thread and playing for a legacy.

I have no choice. People don’t understand it, but I don’t care. Only God will judge me. I expect much more from myself, and I also believe that I have it in me.”
