This past season was one mostly of frustration and lack a of fulfillment for the Penguins, but undoubtedly one of the most memorable developments was the overdue official reunion with one of the franchise’s best players.
Jaromir Jagr carries a mercurial legacy, a man defined by paradoxes. He seems simple and earnest enough, yet also has a complex meandering personality. He was the best player in the league in the 1990’s, yet left Pittsburgh with ill-feelings that lingered for decades. He was and is a nomadic type of guy, roaming around wherever he could to satisfy his singular, insatiable urge to play the game he loves so much.
