from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
The future is uncertain for Jagr, who said that he would like to play five more years. He has an offer from Russia. He may have a multi-year offer coming to him from Edmonton.
“People think that it’s better to have a lot of choices, but sometimes having one choice is best because you can’t make the wrong one,” Jagr said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do now, but I’ll make that choice when it’s time.
“I want to thank Glen and Tom and the Rangers. I want to thank all the people who supported me. Being in New York was special.
“And I also want to say to the people like Mike Milbury who made their living by criticizing me all the time, that they can kiss my [butt].”
added 7:44am, Last year, also on the 4th of July, we had this from then coach John Tortorella,
Coach John Tortorella wished Eric Perrin well but also said not to let the door hit him on the way out.
“He can kiss my (butt),’’ Tortorella said.
I wonder who will continue the tradition next year?

For that comment along, I love Jagr. 
Good luck to him in Russia. I know he enjoyed playing over there during the lockout.
