08:35 AM ET 05.28 | In terms of personal success, Jaromir Jagr's year in Philly was a relative success. [Jagr] contributed 19 goals and 35 assists in 73 games. After the Devils eliminated the Flyers from the playoffs, the 40-year-old said that this past season in Philadelphia had been the most enjoyable of his lengthy NHL career. Jagr wouldn't commit to a return to the orange and black but did say he wants to continue to play in the NHL. It's been almost three weeks since the Flyers were knocked out of the postseason, but it appears Jagr still has the Devils on his mind. Jagr recently discussed in his blog for a Czech website (via ProHockeyTalk) how things went down against New Jersey. "I still can't explain why we stopped skating, all of a sudden!"

JJ is likely only the 2nd best choice for a Russian deciding to retire from the Flyers

Yes, and an actual Russian would be 1st best choice.

Please be kind to Harry. He's from Alberta. It's Canada's "Special" province.

JJ, hang 'em up, wait your 5 years, then accept the HOF award.

If you need $$$m play in the KHL. Since it is not a real league, the time there won't delay the HOF presentation

The heat in the kitchen was just too much for him. He can still bob and weave and score pretty goals when nobody gets in his way but, put a shoulder to him and .... the ol' bones just can't take it.

If he sits for the first half of the year he might have use, but he wore down big time. If a player like Mark Fayne can shut you down, you are either tired, or ready to retire JJ.

And she drives you to school herself rather than put you on the (short) bus.
