They tell me rioting is just as much fun?

Jagr, good sense of humor and not lacking humility :

"The most serious negotiations I have are with Kladno. Because Kladno has a smart owner who knows what he wants," Jagr joked as part owner owner of Czech team.

"I know very well I'm not the same player like 10 or 15 years ago when I was able to win games by myself," Jagr said. "It's up to the coach what position he wants to use me. Maybe it would be even better for me if I played on a second or third line because I would play against worse players and worse defensemen. I didn't have as much luck in my entire career, I always had to face the top defensemen. Even in Florida, I always played against the best, which was always very tough."

One of the best ever, it's hard to be humble when you're great

Quick sign him he's the "anti-Sedin". They will cancel each other out into retirement.

nobody should have expectations either. A bottom 5 placement is 100% good in my books. The rebuild truly starts when the Sedins and 14 million in cap space come off the books.

Wouldn't that be the tail end chapter to turnaround. Just think of the opportunities it opens up to improvement

Thread kill.

JB interview Skit,

Reporter: Jim what are your thoughts on teams tanking for better draft picks?

Jim: Well ummmm, I think it is not fair for the fans. ummm, ummm that fans pay a lot of money to see their teams compete and uuuum, I feel that they deserve better.

Reporter: Jim your team regressed last year and the year before and now you are using the R word rebuild, how far do you think you are from competing for a playoff spot?

Jim: Well uuum have taken a step back. and uuum when I came here we didn't have a lot of solid A prospects and uuumm, we did well for the last few drafts and we feel we are about 2 years away from competing for a playoff spot. Ummm till then we will continue to draft well and hopefully in the top 5 pick.

Reporter: This is been a busy summer for you, with all of the signings, what would you say is your best signing is this year?

Jim: Well ummm, I think we got some real good players this year. players that can help our young core develop and get better. uuum I think my best signing is Brendan Gaunce. Ummm we got him for 2 years. He is a real solid player and uuum we feel he will help us achieve our goals for the next 2 years. Ummm Brendan is a leader on the ice and in the locker room and uuum I feel he will show the rope to the younger players on how to compete and work towards our team goal for the next 2 years.

So what you're trying to say is, Jim Benning is dumb? I've been saying that for two years

What I am saying is JB is smart. He is tanking by not tanking. Signing Gaunce for 2 years on a one way deal. Pretty much assures us a bottom finish.

It's always a good idea to establish the scapegoat before the season starts.

Finishing last is horrible. How do you think the Avs young stars feel about their games? Tanking is for losers

It's okay to lose, as long as there's an honest effort to compete. The reality is we're not a good team, just work hard.

Um, I was talking about who to blame for a poor season. Alcohol deprivation is affecting you. You need a double cheeseburger, stat!!

Who cares, most good players had to lose before they won. Sakic, Lemieux and even Crosby lost before they won. The Canucks need a few more bottom three finishes.

We buy the sugar-free ketchup. Way better!!

Quick sign him he's the "anti-Sedin". They will cancel each other out into retirement.

havent really thought he would be a good signing outside of schooling the young ones, but hey if he provides a spark to the team....
