Jagr not thinking about retirement: ‘I feel good so I go to 55’

Jaromir Jagr's feeling excellent, thanks for asking.

The 44-year-old's playing future is a topic of discussion wherever the Florida Panthers go on the road, especially to a place Jagr's played before as a member of the home team. That was the case Monday in New Jersey, where Jagr said he's still got 10 years to go.

"I go to 55," Jagr said, writes The Record's Andrew Gross. "I just changed. Fifty-five. I feel good so I go to 55."

Jagr has never said he'll play until a certain age, though 50 has been bandied about. The point is: he'll tell us when he's done.

No. 68 didn't register a point in his team's 3-0 shutout of the Devils, but played 18:54, third-most on the team. His 25 points are tied for second on the club.
