I posted a few days ago that Vincent Lecavalier was eying Europe if and when the lockout happens. I also stated that more players would be making announcements like this in the coming days. Jaromir Jagr has proved me right.
The prima-donna Czech has told the New York Daily News that he has a conditional contract to play in Russia next fall pending the NHL Lockout. CSKA and Dynamo Moscow are the most likely places where Jagr would land.
I find it rather odd that any player int eh NHL would say that they would play in Russia — much less sign a contract to play in Russia. This is not taking a jab at Russian hockey at all, but this is taking a jab at the Russian Mafia as well as corruption that has been noted in the past (ie Alexandre Svitov).

I can’t believe how stupid you Americans are. Really, it hurts! You hang around there, telling everyone who wants to hear (or who doesn’t) what a free country you’re living in and how proud you are to be there and bla bla - and dare joking about “Old Europe”.
Let me tell you, you don’t have an idea how much more freedom even Russia has than your pitiful, sad country these days. You dare talking about “Russian Mafias” and such kind of stuff you don’t have any idea about? What about your US-Mafia? What about your big guys Dubya and his bros? I’ve grown up in Europe and lived in the US for a while - and believe me, I’d prefer Italian and Russian mafia together any day to a single day in your narrow minded, stupid, ignorant, sick country. Fuck you arrogant suckers!
Wow, somebody’s bitter… Someone is also a coward because he couldn’t give his real email adress to discuss his bitterness on these issues with America.
For the record, I didn’t vote for the cowboy in office — either time. For the record, there are problems with America and I know them full well. For the record - you’re the one who comes off close midned and sick with how you lash out in anger instead of discussing the issues with an American - you never once thought that htis Americann might share some of your viewpoints. We all must be bad becasue 51 percent of us support Bush and 48 percent don’t huh?
You do your country a disservice - wherever it is - by hiding and just lashing out. I’m willing to talk, obviously you aren’t.
