Moves Like Jagr

Tonight marks the return of Jaromir Jagr, who I consider to be among the top 10 offensive players in the history of the game. His routine ability to deke through defenses on individual rushes was truly reserved for the rarest of hockey players.

It is weird to see him in the Flyers orange, though. It would have been a truly great story if he return to Pittsburgh. That is where #68 belongs.

If Jaromir Jagr scores one point tonight he will tie Raymond Bourque for the most points in a career on season openers. Bourque had 31 points in 22 such contests.

Here's a highlight video of Jaromir Jagr moving it like only he could. The music will be familiar to contemporary audiences - the age group that might not know Jaromir Jagr from Mick Jagger anyways.
