MINSK, Belarus - Jaromir Jagr would much rather be in the Stanley Cup playoffs than at the world hockey championship, especially three months removed from the Sochi Olympics. Cheap Vince Carter Jersey . "I thought the young guys from Czech Republic were going to play," Jagr said with a wry smile. "Obviously, they didnt. They took a break." Jagr seemingly never takes a break from hockey and never stops smiling on the ice. At age 42 hes by far the oldest player in the tournament yet the ageless winger has as much fun playing now as he did as a young man. "If it wouldnt be, I wouldnt be playing right now," Jagr said Sunday. "I want to have fun. As long as you have fun, everything is a lot easier. But you have to work hard, you have to love the game, and thats what you do." Jagr, who faces Team Canada on Monday night, is still able to play at a high level because of a unique mix of love for the game, Hall of Fame skill and a tireless, quirky work ethic. Signed on for another season with the New Jersey Devils, Jagr doesnt sound like a man whos close to being ready to hang up his skates. Even now after 1,473 NHL games, 1,755 points and two Stanley Cups, he finds new ways to motivate himself. "Its a big challenge to compete with the young guys," Jagr said. "Its not only physically. "You have to be one step ahead of everybody. Theyre going to be quicker, theyre going to be stronger. But I always have to look for the edge. I always have to think a lot more. Anything I practise, everything I do, I have to think before how to do it. Its a big challenge. Thats what I like about it — just outsmart somebody." Long before Jagr had to outsmart anyone, he oozed the kind of skill that made him an all-star early on in his career. For a very brief time in 1992-93, he was even linemates with Dave Tippett on the Pittsburgh Penguins. "He was a very young guy," the 52-year-old Canadian coach said. "I think I spent a couple shifts on his line and he looked at Scotty Bowman and said, No, next, please. " At the world championships, Jagr is on a line with 20-year-old Tomas Hertl, who flashes the same grin on the ice for practice as his idol. Hertl wasnt even born for Jagrs two Cup victories in Pittsburgh, but as a very young boy growing up in Prague he watched every game of the 1998 Nagano Olympics. Hertl could only dream of making it big like Jagr, let alone playing alongside him. "Its unbelievable because its my idol as small guy," Hertl said Saturday. "Im learning. I watch too many games and YouTube and his shot is unbelievable, too many goals." More than that, Jagrs longevity is unbelievable. He has played for the Penguins, Washington Capitals, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins and New Jersey. This past season, Jagr was New Jerseys scoring leader with 24 goals and 43 assists. The mutual comfort between Jagr and the Devils organization led him to signing another one-year deal to return for 2014-15. "Im not surprised. I think he really enjoyed the year," Devils coach and Team Canada assistant Peter DeBoer said. "I think he came in and he really is taking it year-to-year at this point in his career. "He played a big role for us, felt important, was a big part of any of the successes we had during the year and I think he wants to do that again." Jagr said this, his ninth world championship, would be his last — but dont rule out maybe one more run when its in the Czech Republic next year. And certainly dont start the farewell tour thinking 2014-15 is definitely his last go-round in the NHL. "I dont know." he said. "If Im gonna play good, why? I love the game." Jaroslav Spacek loved the game, too, but the defencemans body gave out on him and caused him to retire in 2012. Hes two years younger than Jagr but is now an assistant coach for the Czech team and still gets a kick out of seeing Jagr still playing. "Hes using all his free time to work out and get ready for the games," Spacek said. "Hes got no family so hes putting all pressure on himself to be the best hockey player as he can be. "Thats the one thing hes working on it every day. He can get ready for the season even for the world championship, he can take a couple days off but then he comes and works hard. I never see anybody like that." Infamous for skating late at night and sometimes with weights on his body, Jagr is what Tippett would classify as a "hockey junkie." Seeing up close how those things worked, DeBoer wont question any of his techniques. "I marvel at him every day," he said. "He has some different thoughts on his own training and what makes him go. I can tell you theres very few guys, you can probably count on one hand, that are playing at a level that hes playing at at the age hes at." To continue playing at that level, Jagr consciously makes decisions to maximize preparation. Beyond joking hes here because younger players werent, he saw the world championships as a way to help him get ready for next season. "For my body, my age, to have five months or four months without the ice I think would be too long and would be tough to come back and be ready right away," he said. Jagr has to think about those things, but he doesnt feel like a 42-year-old. Being around Hertl and other young players helps him play down in age as he adjusts. But at some point he wont be able to play anymore. When that time is right, Jagr expects to be able to feel it. "You know," he said. "I think you know. Im not ready yet." Follow @SWhyno on Twitter. Cheap Pete Maravich Jersey . - Gary Kubiak is John Elways No. Cheap Spud Webb Jersey .com) - Eric Fehrs goal 42 seconds into overtime lifted the Washington Capitals to a 5-4 come-from-behind victory over Columbus, halting the Blue Jackets seven-game win streak. http://www.cheaphawksjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-alex-len-jersey . -- Another baseball tradition is about to largely disappear: a manager, with a crazed look in his eyes, charging the field and getting into a face-to-face shouting match with an umpire.OTTAWA - The Toronto Maple Leafs found themselves playing from behind too many times Sunday night.But that didnt matter to Jame Reimer, who managed to stop 38 shots as Toronto battled back from three one-goal deficits for a 5-3 win against the Ottawa Senators.It was a case of bending and not breaking, said Reimer. They had opportunities, they worked hard and they battled to the dirty areas to get goals so kudos to them, but we managed to battle and get some gritty goals ourselves.Peter Holland had a goal and an assist for the Maple Leafs (8-5-2) while David Clarkson, James van Riemsdyk, Mike Santorelli and Josh Leivo added a goal apiece.Its huge especially with the back-to-back we just had, Holland said referencing Saturdays home win over the New York Rangers. Anytime you can get two points against a divisional team its a big win. I thought it was a really good game and I thought both teams competed hard. It was great that we came out on top.Mike Hoffman, Kyle Turris and Mark Stone had goals for the Senators (7-4-3), who lost for the first time in regulation on home ice this season. They are now 4-1-3 at Canadian Tire Centre.Sundays game was the make-up date from the Oct. 22 contest that was postponed following the shooting at the War Memorial earlier in the day that took the life of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.Prior to the game both the Senators and Leafs met at the War Memorial in downtown Ottawa to pay their respects in advance of Remembrance Day on Tuesday. The two teams shared in placing a wreath at the Canadian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.Its a little unusual to meet and get together in the morning and pay our respects, but obviously it was a great thing to do and I think both clubs would do it again, said Reimer. Nov. 11 means so much and you really dont want to take for granted what all the people that have gone before us had done, so we went to pay our respects and thank them.It was a neat thing to be part of, to honour the fallen soldier. It was great to be a part of, said Turris. It was really important and it was great that the Leafs joined us.Clarkson had the only goal of the third period and it gave Toronto a 5-3 lead with 14 minutes to play.Although he allowed five goals on 30 shots, Robin Lehner made some brilliant saves including one off Phil Kessel in the third when, while on his stomach, he reached out with his stick to swipe the puck away just before it crossed the goal line.In the opening moments of the game it was the Maple Leafs who had the best opportunity to score but Lehner made a great pad save on a one timer from Leivo.Seconds later Hoffman intercepted a clearing attempt just inside Torontos blue-line, moved into the face-off circle and put a wrist shot over the shoulder of Reimer for a 1-0 Senators lead less than three minutes into the game. Cheap Dikembe Mutombo Jersey. The rest of the first period was fairly uneventful until the dying minutes when the two clubs traded goals a little more than two minutes apart.The Leafs got the first one at 16:25 when Holland took a shot that hit Lehners stick and was redirected over his shoulder into the top of net were it became lodged between the netting and the bar.There was confusion as it wasnt immediately known where the puck was and the play was reviewed before confirmation of the goal came.At 18:27 Turris beat Reimer with a wrist shot on a delayed penalty call as Bobby Ryan was hooked coming out of his own end. Ryan managed to get into the Toronto end and send a pass to Jared Cowen, who tipped it to Turris as he was entering the zone late.In the past couple of games weve been building and have been better but today was a setback, Turris said. It something well have to work on.The Leafs tied the game early in the second period on another funny bounce involving Lehner.Van Riemsdyk took a shot as he crossed the blue-line that hit Lehner in the shoulder, bounced high into the air and came down behind the netminder in the crease where van Riemsdyk tapped it in on his way by the net.Less than two minutes later Stone gave the Senators their third lead of the game as he buried a rebound past Reimer during a power play at 4:04.The goal brigade continued as Leivo scored his first goal of the season when he redirected a centring pass from Trevor Smith past Lehner at 6:21.The Leafs then took their first lead as Santorelli scored a shorthanded goal at 10:53.Its tough, especially with the way we started. We had momentum and we got pucks to the net but eventually we gave them too much time and space and they made us pay, said Ryan.Theres teaching points there for us. We havent been as resilient as we have been in the past few games.The Senators will now head out on a three-game trip to Western Canada starting Tuesday while the Leafs are off until Wednesday when they host the Boston Bruins.Notes -Erik Condra, Patrick Wiercioch and Alex Chiasson were scratches for the Senators while scratches for the Maple Leafs were Daniel Winnik, Matt Frattin and Stuart Percy…Before his first-period goal Senators forward Kyle Turris hadnt scored a goal since the first game of the season, a span of 13 games … Sundays game was the 100th meeting between the Senators and Maple Leafs…The Maple Leafs recalled forward Trevor Smith from the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League earlier Sunday...With 46, Phil Kessel has more career points against Ottawa than any other NHL team.
