I'm not normally a breakfast man, but if I do indulge, it's a bacon, egg, and cheese on an egg everything bagel. Other breakfasts are just ways to ask the question "why?" For myself, anyway.




Gosh, golly gee, really? I can watch this game for free?! Ya mean it, mister?

The style he plays is less body destroying than others, and also drugs. So many drugs.

the fact that he's a bachelor probably helps a lot since he doesn't have to worry about spending time with a wife and kids and can spend all that extra time and energy training

also he probably has to keep playing under pain of death to pay back gambling debts

I have heard more than a few commentators say this and it is my favorite thing

E: there's a lot of truth to it, he's strong as hell in his core and legs and glutes, but yeah summed up he got a big rear end and it's still tough as hell to get him off the puck

Jagr reportedly has a ridiculously intense routine he does every day to stay in shape, and is frequently at the training facility by himself.

He's at the age where you don't work out to get stronger, you work out just to try and tread water and stop getting weaker.

He's done a hell of a job to stay relatively uninjured throughout his career too.

As long as he keeps scoring, he should keep playing.

And IIRC they were asking for basically pocket change and Jagr was like, lol don't care.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't her trying to blackmail him with the pic. But who the gently caress tries to blackmail a lifelong bachelor? Didn't anyone else learn this from playing Crime Fighter back in the days of DOS?

I'm pretty sure at one point he declared bankruptcy or at least it was heavily rumored that he lost most of his early career earnings through gambling
