Must read : Best birthday wishes from other NHL players.

Today is Jaromir Jagr 45th birthday. After 1683 games you certainly have collect a lot of memories. On this special day, TSN ask some NHL player what was their best stories regarding Jagr. Here's the best 3 of them that came out of this TSN initiative : 

Eric Lindros 

"I'm thinking back to world juniors when I was 16, it was 1989, our Canadian team went to watch the Czechs play one day, everyone had eyes on Jagr. As soon as he got on the ice, nobody is watching anything else. Our world junior team was glued to watching him on every shift. Just everything about him, it's like he did everything without leaving a footprint. I just remember that, our whole team just mesmerized by him."

David Backes

"I don't know if I've had many face-to-face conversations with him, but [my first memory is] NHL '94 on Super Nintendo as a 10-year-old. I did pretty darn good. The Penguins were dynamite in that game, and if you went across the crease as Jagr on your backhand, you scored every time. He's still doing that."

Trevor Daley

"The mullet. The hair, of course. The hair, his number, the swagger he had about him. Just as a young kid growing up watching the Pittsburgh Penguins, every time you got to see Jaromir Jagr, he was just different than anyone else. Obviously, I had the chance to be around him and spend some time with him [while with the Dallas Stars]. He's so dedicated to his craft and what he does. You pick that up right away about him. You look at his age and what he's doing today, it's all because of how much he enjoys the game, how much he loves the game and then the work that he puts into the game is why he's still playing. In Dallas, he lived right next to the practice rink, and after games he would go back to the practice rink, open it up and make the Zamboni driver pass him pucks. Nothing really surprises me with that guy. He's just a guy that really loves the game, and it doesn't surprise me he's still playing."
