Jagr: From hero to villain in Pittsburgh as he returns as Flyer

A Delaware County Times column talks about Jagr's return and reveals the biggest reason why the former Pen ended up in Philly rather than back home in Pittsburgh: Paul Holmgren just plain tried harder.

Boo Jagr all you want, but seriously, no one better cheer Talbot.

Why? How could you fault a man for being overpaid?

But I won’t cheer for Talbot, but on the other hand I won’t boo him either. The guy made a sound financial decsion by taking a deal worth more time and money than he rightfully deserves. You be crazy not to take that deal if you were a player like Talbot.

That being said, anytime he would touch the puck, I wouldn’t do anything to him. That’s just me though.

Boo Jagr, by all means. Boo Talbot as well. But for anyone going to the game tonight, you better be booing everyone wearing orange and black, not just those two. This is Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia, not Jagr’s a jagoff or Mad Max is a traitor. The Flyers are the real enemy and we have to make them fear coming into the CEC.
