The Finesse Game

Jagr survived the loss of Mario Lemieux and Ron Francis remarkably. He has put up league leading numbers without a bona fide number one centre in Pittsburgh. Jagr did not struggle playing with the likes of Kip Miller or Robert Lang.  

Although Jagr's exceptional skating makes him tough to shadow, checkers will have an easier time when they can sag off his less-imposing linemates. 

Jagr is as close to a perfect skater as there is
in the NHL. He keeps his body centred over his skates, giving him a low center of gravity and making it very tough for anyone to knock him off the puck. He has a deep knee bend, for quickness and power. His strokes are long and sure, he has control over his body and exceptional lateral mobility. He dazzles with his footwork and handles
the puck at high tempo. 

Jagr lives and loves to play hockey. His long hair flowing out from beneath his helmet, he's poetry in motion with his beautifully effortless skating style. And, with his Lemieux-like reach, Jagr can dangle the puck while he's gliding and swooping. 

He fakes the backhand and goes to his forehand in a flash. He is also powerful enough to drag a defender with him to the net and push off a strong one-handed shot. He has a big slap shot and can drive it on the fly or fire it with a one-timer off a pass.

 

 ACQUIRED: Pittsburgh's 1st choice in the 1990 Entry Draft.

The Physical Game

Considering how often he gets pounded and how much ice time he logs, Jagr's durability over the past five seasons is remarkable. His recurring "groin" problem may be linked more to his unhappiness with coach Kevin Constantine. Earlier in his career, he could be intimidated physically, and he still doesn't like to get hit, but he's not as wimpy as he used to be. He's confident, almost cocky and tough to catch--impossible to hit in open ice.
