Victory, returning from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh in Game 2 5.8 Eastern Conference quarterfinals on Friday one of the wildest games, he has never seen?
"I played 20 years, you know," Jagr said with a laugh.
It may be necessary to play another 20 to see the kind of fireworks produced by two of the most dynamic teams in hockey.
Sidney Crosby scored 15 seconds into the match. The Penguins took ahead 3-1. And yet this was not enough to put aside the most stable team in the NHL.
Claude Giroux scored three goals and three assists to set the record for points in a franchise playoff game, freshman Sean Couturier scored a hat-trick on his own and took a 2-0 lead leaflets in the series of best-of-seven.
Giroux is not sure that the leaflets in the head after the Penguins beat the fourth time this season after two spots of Pittsburgh goal, but it's hard to pretend otherwise.
The Penguins were 2-0 leads, 3-1, 4-3 and 5-4 at home and still could not fend off Philadelphia.
"When you return to the game, like what he says about the nature of the room," coach Peter Laviolette Philadelphia said. "Fighting back, as it is not easy."
Leaflets have a bit of everything, scoring a pair of short targets, adding one on the power play and throw the empty Netter push the team considered the favorite Pittsburgh Stanley Cup 2-0 deficit.
"I do not know how many times we will be able to do so back," said Giroux. "We should have a better start."
At this point, why?
Philadelphia scored seven goals in the final 35 minutes of the game, answer each time it seemed that the penguins are finally ready to take control. Jagr and Max Talbot - both winners of the Cup in Pittsburgh - and scored for the flyers, the game master, who on Sunday, 3.
"This team can still score goals," said Jagr, who gave his first lead in Philadelphia in the regulation of the average level of the third period. "We have a lot of guys who can score goals."
Including the 19-year-old fashion designer. Assigned to slow the Pittsburgh Evgeni Malkin, Russia dominates Couturier, and the first hat-trick from freshman Andy Delmore from Philadelphia in 2000.
Weaver admitted to feeling some jitters before the first match. It's funny, he just looked nervous when his third goal of the night, he sewed with 1:49 remaining before the fat is completed by an empty Netter.
"He has 19 years, but he plays like he is 28 years old," said Giroux.
Ilya Bryzgalov has overcome a staggered exit to stop 23 shots for flyers who never blinked after a few goals for the ninth time in the last 14 games.
"You have the choice to win the game or give up," said Bryzgalov.
Chris Kunitz scored twice in Pittsburgh, and Crosby and Tyler Kennedy scored for the second straight game, but the Penguins again failed to close the Flyers.
Penguins try to minimize their decomposition in the first game, saying it was a lot of hockey left.
Maybe, but it can not be much left for another stirring return to the leaflets. Philadelphia, 17-0, when he won the first two games of the series.
"We must find a way to be better with a leader," said Crosby. "We know they are coming."
Flyers proved in the third period after Kennedy created the Penguins 5-4.
It took only 17 seconds to Philadelphia to meet, as Weaver created a turnover and was in alone on Marc-Andre Fleury.
The bill, seemed to undermine the power energy center console, and what little was left disappeared when Jagr set for the first time flyers with less than 11 minutes to play.
"We have to limit our mistakes, it's really what it boils down to," Crosby said. "Mistakes we have made as a result of our network."
At the end was the complete opposite of the other electric starter on the penguins.
Crosby needed all of 15 seconds to give the lead in Pittsburgh, working back and leave the opening face-off with Steve Sullivan and a terrific shot of Bryzgalov.
The purpose is related to the Pittsburgh franchise marks a quick goal to start a playoff game, set, Greg Malone vs. St. Louis in 1981. This was also the time to be on the enemy in the history of the playoffs Philadelphia, beating the mark of 21 seconds set by Chicago's Jim Pappin in 1971.
The wire is 1.3 by the end of the first period.
However, as of Wednesday - when the Penguins led 3-0 after the first 20 minutes - it was not enough.
Flyers rallied to tie it at 3 in Giroux, who scored on the power play, then beat Fleury with a wrist shot over second shorthanded goal of the Philadelphia night.
The relationship lasted only 6 seconds, or until such time as it was Kunitz pounce on the rebound and slide the puck into the empty net.
Still, leaflets did not let up. Weaver tied it at 4 just before the second break, erasing all of the momentum of Pittsburgh and opens the way to finish the other campaign.
