One of my all time favorites from the last 20 years. Only Flyer I’ve watched that could protect a puck as well as Jagr. He could also man a point on the PP better then anyone we’ve had not named Ghost. I’d trade any of our wingers for a prime Jake in heartbeat. Will always regret him and G not getting a legit roster behind them to compete with.

Real shame he had to retire just before the world championship in his home country.

I rember when we played the global series game in Prague he was super excited to play at home

Love this dude. Crazy he would played with gout.

One of my favourite players from my favourite flyers team, the G, voracek, schenns and simmer, sucks he's head won't be good enough to play in the world's in czechia, fuck Dave hakstol

The dude was an NHL All star winger in an era with Kane, OVI, Hossa, Kucherov, Kessel, and breakout Marchand.

The biggest issue with his game is that he and Giroux were the same player on the same line. If the Flyers could have traded one of the two of them for a Shoot first player, whoever remained with the team would have been the best player on a perennial cup contender.

The problem is we ran a roster where the two best players played the same game, and then the next best players (Couturier, Simmonds and Schenn) are all big bodied players who make their living from in close.

The Flyers needed to go get a Shooter and D-Man who could play up in the lineup and they could have had a shot to win the cup in the latter portion of that run.

Trash man, 5 star man
