According to Steve Zipay over at Blue Notes, it looks like Jaromir Jagr is getting frustrated with his lack of production and an ailing back..."Jaromir Jagr's back is bothering him, and he skated about 15 minutes before packing it in. He didn't skate on Thursday at all. That may be part of the reason for his sub-par performances and outbursts of frustration recently.
The captain, who has just one assist in the past five games and is a minus-6, shouted at Michal Rozsival when he came off the ice late in the third period in the 5-4 overtime loss in Washington on Wednesday and later discussed strategy with assistant coach Perry Pearn in a hallway exchange that could be heard during Tom Renney's post-game presser."
...well I don't like the sound of this. We all remember how quickly things went sour in Washington. Now, based on Jagr's behavior with the Rangers, I don't have any reason to think that he is going to become a cancer in the locker room, but this is alarming knowing his past.
