from Lynn Zinser of the New York Times (Sunday edition),
At 36, Jagr has appointed himself to lead that charge. His play became increasingly dominating as the playoffs neared. He turned it up more in the first round of the playoffs and played his most inspired game Thursday, when he had two goals and an assist to help the Rangers stave off elimination.
But it was off the ice after Game 3 that Jagr made his biggest statement. Even though the Rangers had lost at the Garden, 5-3, he went into the locker room and said the Rangers could win the series if they played the way they did in erasing a two-goal deficit in the second period of that game. Publicly, he vowed the series was not over.
Jagr does not often address his teammates as a group. That role usually falls to Brendan Shanahan, one of the alternate captains, and others. But when Jagr does, he has their attention.
