Jaromir Jagr's Legacy | Celebrate 68

“I just think, number one, it’s time that we had this type of ceremony,” said Penguins color analyst Phil Bourque, who played a key role in facilitating the ‘Celebrate 68’ festivities. “Especially in the new building here where we’ve had some great moments, but we haven’t had this kind of ceremony in a long, long time in this city, for this team.

“And number two, even though he played for a bunch of other teams, everybody remembers Jaromir Jagr for what he did as a Pittsburgh Penguin.”

I’m just glad I was alive to witness it! Legendary!

I will always remember the greatest duo of my life and will always praise their greatness. Jagr and Lemieux i have their jerseys and will be a pens fan for

[RussellStrosnider]

Without Lemeaux, there would not be a Penguins, without Jagr, there would not be a Penguins in Pittsburgh, and without Lemeaux, Jagr and Crosby, we wouldn't have a heritage in the greatest sports town in the country.

JAROMÍR JÁGR je borec světových parametrů z České Republiky. Čest a slávu jemu, za to, co dokázal a udělal pro hokej!!! A doufám, že ty všechny pěkný kočky byly a jsou na něj hodný....

Jagr and Mario inspired me to play the game. I grew up on a lake so ice was available. I laced up at 6yo. I was 16 by the time Jagr was drafted. Incredible players and inspirational. 68!

Jagr, The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.

[JodySnellman]

He's still active, keep him going!!! Jagr is a monster

[randomdudeyoudontknow]

One of the greatest talents on ice ever. And so strong and unbelievably resilient too. His number 68 commemorates Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968.

[PRYVTgomerPYLE]

The best European born player, ever. He deserves to be mentioned with Gretz and Lemieux.

[Jimmyfly]

respect the pens, hate their fans, but appreciate the great players. Jagr in my eyes is the best Winger to ever play the game. he should be top 5 all time.

[jamaldee]

We love you and that beautiful hair of yours!!!❤❤❤

[JesperLundstrom-dtni]

Probebly the most talanted five of all time Jagr Lemieux Francis

[RoyalSubjectsMusic]

The best Dallas Star to ever play the game.

[Kirneh]

One of the absolute best all time! Right up there with Mario, Wayne, Forsberg, Kharlamov, Makarov, McDavid as the most thrilling player to ever play the game. A privilege to watch.

[resabape]

The best tandem ever? No argument from me.

[tadlehmann]

Why is Eddie Olczyk calling him Geno? When was that ever his nickname?

[kevindiossi]

I've been a Jagr fan my entire life from back when I was 6-years-old wearing 68 to now. I've never in my life heard anyone EVER call him Geno? Who has ever called this guy Geno? Just seems weird to me that I never heard it before.

[gastondeveaux]

They called him Gino ??? I've never heard him called that before.

[pavelholka]

He talks about Jagr and says “Geno”? Why?

[tuckersdadnb]

He said Geno twice. I am missing something here 😂😂 Jagr not Malkin.
