Jagr in Practice

From Blueshirts Blog,
It’s 1:15 p.m. and I believe Jaromir Jagr just finished answering the last question from Montreal reporters who were delighted with the opportunity to enter the Rangers’ captain’s mind — after many marvelled at how he spent an extra 30 minutes on the ice after the morning skate working on his shooting with assistant coach Perry Pearn.
When told that that is not unusual for Jagr — that he, in fact, often returns to the Rangers’ practice facility in the afternoon for a second session on non-game days — some were stunned. Amazing how this guy can have been in the league for so long and yet be such a mystery to so many. Could it be that it’s easier to ridicule him if you don’t know anything about him?
Update 5:07pm ET -- Quotes from Jagr to the CP via TSN,
‘I still believe in myself,’’ Jagr said. ‘’When you’re not scoring, you want to do a little extra and maybe later it will help me.
‘’Maybe there’s bad before something good. I don’t know. I don’t question it. I just work harder than I did before on my shooting and just believe that it’s going to come sooner or later.’’

I could do what Jagr does on the ice but for less money.
