“I just think, number one, it’s time that we had this type of ceremony,” said Penguins color analyst Phil Bourque, who played a key role in facilitating the ‘Celebrate 68’ festivities. “Especially in the new building here where we’ve had some great moments, but we haven’t had this kind of ceremony in a long, long time in this city, for this team.
“And number two, even though he played for a bunch of other teams, everybody remembers Jaromir Jagr for what he did as a Pittsburgh Penguin.”

I will always remember the greatest duo of my life and will always praise their greatness. Jagr and Lemieux i have their jerseys and will be a pens fan for life!!!!!!!
Without Lemeaux, there would not be a Penguins, without Jagr, there would not be a Penguins in Pittsburgh, and without Lemeaux, Jagr and Crosby, we wouldn't have a heritage in the greatest sports town in the country.
I’m just glad I was alive to witness it! Legendary!
Why is Eddie Olczyk calling him Geno? When was that ever his nickname?
He's still active, keep him going!!! Jagr is a monster
respect the pens, hate their fans, but appreciate the great players. Jagr in my eyes is the best Winger to ever play the game. he should be top 5 all time.
They called him Gino ??? I've never heard him called that before.
Big time legend
Jagr and Mario inspired me to play the game. I grew up on a lake so ice was available. I laced up at 6yo. I was 16 by the time Jagr was drafted. Incredible players and inspirational. 68!
