Penguins find much-needed scorer
Young Jagr takes over for absent Lemieux
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins insist they haven't asked Jaromir Jagr to replace the absent Mario Lemieux.
Yeah. sure.
He isn't always the second coming of Lemieux — who is? — but at 23, when many athletes are only beginning their major-league baseball or NFL careers, Jagr already may be the NIL's most visible, dynamic talent.
If he's not, he's literally on the fast track to getting there.
"To me, he's the best player in the game right now," Penguins coach Eddie Johnston said, after Jagr's third-period goal sealed Pittsburgh's 5-4 victory Tuesday over Quebec.
The first matchup of the NHL's two best-record teams — the Penguins are 13-1-2, Quebec is 13-3 — was exactly as hyped as a playoff-like game, with a tense, high-intensity third feature six goals and
three lead changes.
"It was like the playoffs out there," Jagr said. "We were playing a lot of one-on-one hockey."
And who better for that style than Jagr. In the 1992 playoffs, He initially displayed his singular ability to take over big games by rallying the Lemieux-less Penguins past the regular-season champion New York Rangers.
He followed that with a 94-point season in 1993, and a team-leading 99 points last season, yet was still considered only a complementary component of hockey's highest-scoring machine. With Lemieux around, Jagr could never be anything higher than a No.2 star.
With Lemieux out for this season—and, perhaps, for good—following years of persistent medical problems, Jagr seems eminently capable of assuming Lemieux's role as the Penguins' leading scorer and team leader.
It is a highly visible, high-risk assignment few would want and even fewer could successfully carry out.
But just as Lemieux often did when
healthy, Jagr leads the NHL scoring race with 14 goals and 16 assists for 30 points in 16 games. Even in a season cut nearly in half by a labor dispute, he might threaten the 100-point mark — normally the full-season benchmark for scoring superiority.
"He is so strong and can carry the puck like no one else," All-Star left winger Kevin Steven said. "Sometime soon, he will score 50, 60, maybe 70 goals in a season.
"He has so much confidence he can do pretty much anything he wants. When he gets like that, it can be scary."
Jagr's game-winning goal against Quebec — his league-leading sixth of the season — came on just such an impulsive, impossible-to-script play.
He grabbed the puck in the right circle, carried it behind the net to the lower left circle, and, with Bob Bassen clutching, grabbing and poking him with his stick, put a no-look backhander past goaltender Stenhae Fiset.
"It was like Joey Mullen told the last game, 'You're the guy now. You have to do it,' "Jagr said.
