JagrWatch-The End is Near

This week has took more twists and turns than a R.L. Stein book. Bad reference I know. But on the Eve of the Free Agency Day, we sit here wondering if Jaromir Jagr will skate for one final season with the Penguins. The rumors were that were floating around the past 24 hours have been from ridiculous to absurd. Last night, we found out from a reputable Penguins fan blog, that no decision was going to be made before today. This of course infamously came straight from Jagr's agent. A brief recap of the events below and a shocking theory.

JagrWatch's Final Hour

The offer is in to Jaromir Jagr's camp as of last night. JagrWatch is on standby at this point, as all of us sit back and wait on word from the man himself. Who will he choose?  Pittsburgh or Detroit? Or is Montreal in the Mix?

The Return of Double J Part II

Well as Monday rolled around and it is now almost the end of June, Pens fans were set into the gloomy days of the offseason. No hockey, no news. Just sitting and waiting for Ray Shero to resign some guys to fill out the roster. A while ago we heard that Sid is beginning his workouts and Malkin sounds like he is ready to take over the world again.  Good news all around, but nothing big. Then Monday started, and a bomb was dropped on Pens fans and twitter and the internet were a buzz. Jarmior Jagr was again tied to the Penguins and this upcoming season. A few months ago, news of Jagr was falsely tied to the Penguins in the context of the Pens inviting him back to be a part of a 20 year reunion of the 1991 Stanley Cup Championship Team. This time it was for real. Pittsburgh Prodigal Son may be lacing them up for the Penguins this fall, at age 39. The Pond offers its opinion on the possible signing.
