During Jagr's retirement speech, he praised the Pittsburgh Penguins, full of gratitude.
«I gotta say what a weekend so far,» Jagr said during his jersey retirement speech on February 18. «It's beautiful. I practiced with the team. I was pretty good. Let me tell you. I was pretty good. I had dinner with the boys. Thank you, guys. Today all the highlights, videos, goals, even the hair � great memories.
«I remember my first coach Bob Johnson always say �today is a great day for hockey,'» Jagr continued. «I'm going to use it and I'm going to change it a little bit. I'm going to say, today is a great day for me. To be here with you, hearing the cheers, I don't even have to score, that's beautiful. That's never gets old.»
