faba Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Jagr says players' fight against salary cap was 'risk that didn't pay off' June 21, 2005 PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) -- New York Rangers forward Jaromir Jagr said Tuesday that players' initial refusal of a salary cap in talks with the NHL was a mistake. ``We started the fight because we didn't agree with the introduction of salary caps,'' Jagr said. ``Now, we'll be happy to get them. We didn't expect the owners to be so tough and persistent. It was a risk that didn't pay off.'' Jagr was quoted, in Czech, on the Czech Ice Hockey Association's Web site. The NHL and the players' association recently agreed that a salary cap model with an upper and lower limit will be the centerpiece of a new agreement. The lockout started last September and wiped out the entire 2004-05 NHL season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Rangers, Jets....why are NY players with the #68 primadonnas and why do they talk so much Sh#t? Jagr was just stating the obvious that the NHL players miscalulated the owners holding their ground and not giving in-what is so arrogant about that GGG?

Gang Green Girl Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 It's not so much what he said in that statement. He thinks he's better and more talented than anyone else on the ice and he is a sissy. Even YOU, as a Rangers fan, faba, cannot argue with that. Jagr was just stating the obvious that the NHL players miscalulated the owners holding their ground and not giving in-what is so arrogant about that GGG?
