Jaromir Jagr understands where Roman Hamrlik was coming from when he made his controversial lockout comments last month. "On one hand, I do understand the younger guys, but I understand the older guys, too," Jagr told Pavel Barta of the Czech Daily Sport. "You've got to put yourself in each of their shoes. Roman Hamrl¡k hasn't got too many years left, and he would really love to play some more in the NHL. So, whatever he says, I agree with him. On the other hand, I agree with the opinions of others, those who are younger and the lockout hasn't got that much of an impact on them. They are playing in Russia, make more money, perhaps, than they would in the NHL, they are at home. So I understand when they say let's go on." Jagr has experienced all three NHL lockouts, including the 1991-92 strike, over his career and he doesn't have many years left either. He wants the NHL and NHLPA to reach a deal "somehow" so that he can return to North America. Jagr's Dallas debut has been out on hold because of the work stoppage, but he has been great in the Czech Extraliga with 43 points

Jaromir Jagr had a goal and an assist in Kladno's 6-3 loss to Sparta Prague. Tomas Plekanec had an assist in the losing effort. Jagr has 18 goals and 43 points in 27 Czech League games this season.

Jaromir Jagr had an assist in Kladno's 2-1 win over Liberec. Jagr has 39 points in just 24 Czech games. Tomas Plekanec also registered an assist for Kladno.

Jaromir Jagr had three points on Sunday, but it wasn't enough for Kladno, which fell to Litvinov 5-3. The future Hall of Famer's partner-in-crime Tomas Plekanec had one tally and one helper while Marek Zidlicky had two assists of his own. The veteran winger has been looking awfully spry overseas, which must torment some Dallas Stars fans who may never see him play of their team.

Jaromir Jagr scored two goals for Kladno in a 3-2 overtime loss to Ceske Budejovice on Wednesday. The veteran forward has been excellent in the Czech Republic this season with 13 goals and 29 points in 18 games. Jiri Tlusty picked up an assist on one of Jagr's markers.

Jaromir Jagr scored in Kladno's 4-3 loss to Trinec in Czech League play on Monday. His 11th marker of the season in 17 games, which was assisted by fellow lockout addition Marek Zidlicky, opened the scoring before Trinec scored the next four goals and held onto to earn the win.

Jaromir Jagr lead the charge with an impressive five-point outing as Kladno dominated Chomutov 7-2. Jagr scored a goal and collected four assists while Tomas Plekanec found the net twice and added a helper of his own. Jiri Tlusty is a nice compliment to those two greater-known talents, netting one tally and two assists in that rout.

Jaromir Jagr continues to put up big numbers for Kladno, netting a hat trick and an assist as his team beat Sparta Prague 5-1. Jagr's partner-in-crime Tomas Plekanec produced a helper on one of his countryman's three goals. One cannot help but wonder what kind of magic they could have conjured in the NHL if the Montreal Canadiens matched Jagr's stated interest in free agency.

Jaromir Jagr is hoping that the 2012-13 season will be saved, especially as time runs out on his and Teemu Selanne's careers. "Hopefully the season's going to start," Jagr said. "It would be very sad for everybody for us, me and Teemu especially. We don't have many games left. The separation, the goal separation is only two goals. It's the final countdown. It would be kind of special, but you never know what's going to happen." Jagr is referring to the fact that the two of them currently rank 11th and 12th on the all-time goals chart, with Jagr edging Selanne. If we had a full 82-game season - which now seems impossible - the two would have been within striking distance of Mark Messier and seventh place on the chart. As it is, it would be a great shame for the game of hockey if their legendary careers came to an end as a result of a lockout.

Jaromir Jagr registered two assists in Kladno's 4-1 win over Vitkovice. Jagr now has five goals and 16 points in 13 Czech games. Jiri Tlusty had a goal and an assist, giving him 14 points in 14 contests.
