i knew that he wore 23 - even in buff- in tribute to mattingly.

growing up in CT i hear hge was / is a HUGE YANKEE Fan, so how fitting that hes here now.

interesting that gomez tributes gwynn like that.

also interesting that gomez wanted to give betts 10,000 bucks for letting him wear 19, but Betts refused the money and gave it up gladly. ( for free )

Jaromir Jagr: Rangers can role to Cup

Having been there and done that - none too well, in his own estimation - Jaromir Jagr has this piece of advice for Scott Gomez and Chris Drury:

Keep your eyes on the prize that the NHL awards on the ice in June; don't be distracted by the prizes the Rangers bestowed on you on July 1.

"There is one thing I want to make sure that the players understand - and I don't think I had it when I signed (a seven-year, $77 million contract with Washington in October 2001) and I want to make sure it is here and it's starting from the coaches and the organization," Jagr said. "When you sign a new contract with a lot of money, fans and everybody expects you to have big numbers and score a lot of goals. But our goal is different - to win the Cup.

"Of course, you're not going to have the same numbers like you had in Buffalo when you were on the first power play and you played 25 minutes. Not everybody is going to play 25 minutes. Everybody has to adjust and do it for the team."

Jagr, after flying to New York from his native Czech Republic Wednesday, took his pre-camp physical yesterday - the Rangers hit the ice for the first time today - and then addressed the media. Sitting on the pool table at the players' lounge in Greenburgh, Jagr was considerably bigger through the chest and shoulders than a year ago, when he was coming off summer shoulder surgery.

But he wasn't puffing out his chest.

"Only one thing scares me. I don't want it to be like it was here seven or six years ago because you've got so many top players on the team," he said. "Everybody has to understand that it doesn't matter if you signed a big contract."

It was actually eight years ago when the Rangers last made a summer splash comparable to the Gomez-Drury twin killing they pulled off on the opening day of free agency over the summer. As it turned out, signing six sought-after free agents - Theo Fleury the most prominent among them - in July of 1999 didn't restore the Rangers to glory.

Rather, it wound up accelerating the franchise's decline via overspending for high-profile players who didn't fit together or weren't made to do so.

Having finally changed that culture coming out of the 2004-05 lockout - with help from a salary cap that mandated some fiscal restraint - the Rangers have since managed to rebuild around a superstar in Jagr and subsequently add future Hall of Famer Brendan Shanahan without reverting to their old, misguided ways. The trick now is to assimilate both Gomez and Drury - each signed to deals averaging more than $7 million per year - into a team concept that continues to value the whole over the parts.

"Somebody has to cut their ice time and cut their power-play time," Jagr said. "Everybody has to do it a little bit.

"But the whole key is to win the Cup. And I just want to remind guys of that all the time. And the coaches have to remind guys of that all the time when the media criticizes a guy because he doesn't put up the same numbers.

"I know I went through that when I was younger. I got traded to another team. And when I signed a big deal, I know how it was. And I want to make sure those guys don't go through what I did. Because it wasn't good."

Which isn't to say that Jagr doesn't share in the belief that the Rangers are one of the NHL's true title contenders this season.

"The first thing I saw when we signed two free agents: the organization is pretty serious," he said. "It's a sign for our fans that we want to win it right now, don't wait for anything else. Now, it's our time."

nice piece- i saw Dellapi9nas writeup in todays News.

Jaromir was also on " MSG NY " on the MSG Network last night- he was interviewed by John Giannone, and it was pretty much the same stuff in that article .

He looked refreshed, rested, and ready to go at it again.
I like the part about him playing as long as there was a team that wanted him, im sure NYR will keep him close by .
Newsday had a nice piece about Henrik, and he's ready to go also.
Oh , and he did not get married during this offseason.
