Will Somebody Please, For The Love Of God, Give Jaromir Jagr A Call
First of all, Jags knows exactly what he was doing when he threw up that throwback picture of himself. He may not have gotten any calls from NHL GMs yesterday after that tweet but he 100% was getting buzzed left and right from Florida smokes the moment that shit hit the internet. What a stud.
Love-affair with Jaromir Jagr aside, this shit just broke my heart. One of the greatest to ever play the game. Still doing everything he can to hold on to his career. Has given the Panthers everything they could have asked for out of him. And he can’t even get one of these slimy bastards to pick up the goddamn phone. Meanwhile you’ve got teams basically jizzing themselves over trying to overpay a bum like Kevin Shattenkirk on Saturday. It’s sad.
The man just wants to play. I’m assuming he’d probably also like to land at a nice location instead of some frozen tundra like Winnipeg. But he just wants to play some hockey, make some more money and wheel some more rockets. If I were the commissioner of the league, I’d put in a rule that says Jaromir Jagr gets at least a 1-year contract every single season until he either A) decides on his own it’s time to retire or B) dies. Whichever comes first. But the fact that nobody out there is even talking to him about a 1-year deal right now is a joke.
Real talk, Vegas should be forced to pick him up. Their offense stinks so it’s not like picking up a 45-year-old Jaromir Jagr is going to do them any harm. The man trains his dick off. He could teach the young guys in that organization a thing or two and he’d also get to live in Vegas. The situation is almost too perfect. If it weren’t for George McPhee being a scumbag, it would have happened already. Either way, I don’t want to go through an entire summer of sad Jagr tweets. I need him to sign a new deal tomorrow so all can be right in the world again. My heart just can’t take any more of these tweets.
