After yesterday’s festivities, we are seeing Jaromir Jagr in a holding pattern in deciding with future. Taking the Matts Sundin route, Jagr issued a statement through his agent that he will take a few days to decide his future. Edmonton, Broadway or Omsk?

I listened in on the Sean Avaery Conference Call and there will be a full story later, but here’s the transcript:

For the next round, the Blueshirts will get three possible opponents depending on what happens in the two remianing series in the Eastern Conference.
The most likely opponent is the Pittsburgh Penguins, [...]

First he mused about a “N/R’ ron the wall at the Prudential Center looked like a “NYR”
Then he spoke about the goalies he played with joking they used to drink more than the defenseman [his position].
Finally he said he was [...]

Before the game, the media spoke with Tom Renney, who seemed very loose as his team looks to take control of this series by going up 3-0.
Jaromir Jagr came in and showed the press his Stanley Cup [...]
