Jaromir Jagr has apologized to people who thought he would return to the NHL at a league minimum salary. Jagr made a comment in 2009 that he would be willing to play for the minimum for the opportunity to join the team co-owned by his former teammate, Mario Lemieux, but he now claims he was misunderstood. "If I hurt somebody, I apologize," Jagr said Saturday. "I didn't mean it, but this is my life and I want to make the choice. It's tough for me to explain in English; it would be a lot easier for me to explain in Czech because I didn't speak a lot of English in the last three years. I could even explain in Russian better." It will be interesting to see if Penguins fans will hold any ill will towards the former star.
