I know I'm sidetracking here but notice how once you're in the top 50 scorers you can move up a rung every 40 points or so all the way until number 2...but then number 1 is like a THOUSAND points more?

Not necessarily trying to dredge up the "all-time greatest" debate again, but Wayne was pretty good...

Also, notice how everybody loooves Jagr and has all the respect in the world for him? I do too, but does anyone remember that he got no respect and was generally disliked for probably the first half of his career?

It was probably fuelled by Cherry more than anything (people used to pay attention to the drivel he was slinging) but all anyone could ever talk about regarding Jagr was giving the finger to the crowd, or when he got beat up in practice for gloating about his salary (whether or not that story was even true), or his mullet or the fact that he couldn't play hockey cause he was European and wore a visor.

Nice to see a guy keep working hard for so long that public perception and his reputation have come around 180.

Man, that's just not fair. Jagr is such a beast, I hope he DOES go until he's 50, you've got to think that teams would pay him to sit in the locker room with the kids and teach them things... he's one of the few left that has truly done everything there is to do in the hockey world.

Brilliant signing, he's going to do nothing but teach their young players how to do things the right way. I'm expecting Florida to become a Chicago-like contender in a few years, I hope Jagr is still there to enjoy the success, Man, Florida is quickly becoming a favourite team of mine.

I'm a big fan of Luongo obviously, and his twitter account is still my favorite in all of sports. Huberdeau, Barkov, Bjugstad, and Ekblad are going to be tremendous for them as a young core, and Jagr is still a beauty.

Plus, luongo's tweet on the signing was gold...

"Anytime you add a 68 to a 1 the total will always amount to good times...... #JagrBomb"
