PHILADELPHIA–The Flames never held a lead until Michael Frolik’s overtime game winning goal in a 5-4 victory over the Flyers Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center.
Sean Monahan scored a natural hat trick, all on the power play in the second period and added an assist, while Johnny Gaudreau, from nearby South New Jersey, had a goal and an assist as well as the respect of the Flyer faithful who appreciated the efforts of a local boy done good.
It was a quiet day for Jaromir Jagr and his linemates, outside a few shifts in the third period, when with the game on the line were generating pressure if not scoring chances. He finished -1 on the day, and also cut short a few shifts, raising concerns here he might be feeling some effects of the lower body malady that kept him out of six games not so long ago.

It’s not the Chattaonooga Choo Choo, but team takes train to DC
After the games the Flames boarded trains wearing 40s/50s era suits in a themed excursion to Washington. Still looking for a solo photo of Jagr in the outfits, but here’s how the bulk of the team looked in those classic threads. Jagr may be in the back row of this picture, his famous hair blocked by the hats of his teammates.

Jagr and Michael Frolik talking to Flyers Jakub Vorachek after the Flames 5-4 OT win.
That photo is from sport.cz and here’s the accompanying text which translates in google chrome.
That’s the way people dressed decades ago. Look at game film from the early 90s, even. Game jerseys were rare. Now they are abundant.
The magazine also published an interview with Michael Frolik, which includes several Jagr references.
and also this article about a ritual in Philadelphia where Czech players from both teams meet after a game.
Capitals veterans talk about first time playing Jagr
The Washington Post published this article we’re happy to share a link to from their Sunday edition.
Updated Jagr-O-Meter and Jagr fans reunite in Washington
The Flames play the Capitals at 7 pm EST, Monday, Nov. 20 in Washington. Jagr fans invited to meet and mingle at Fuel, across the street from the arena to enjoy pizza and wings before the game or at The Green Turtle Bar in the Capital One Center after the game. Usually a strong of Czech and US born Jagr fans show up for games in Washington. Jagrometer.com will be there again and expects to see more than the 10 Jagr jerseys observed in Philadelphia. 
Doing research for this page always unveils something interesting and unexpected links unrelated to the original thought. We’ve mentioned Czech writer Zdenek Janda frequently. Three years ago East Coast writer Randy Miller wrote about him for nj.com. An interesting look at someone who has unique access to the Legend.
Zdenek wrote about an Jagr feature in Czechs Sport Magazine, which also published the Jagr in 50’s era clothes we shared.
A message for our Czech readers.
In recent years Czech fans, either visiting from Europe or USA-based, have been seen wearing the #68 Czech national team jersey, wearing wigs like the Travelling Jagrs and waving the Czech flag. Most arenas will allow the flag if you wear it as a cape. Please visit the USA or Canada this year and feel free to write to me for advice on planning your trip. Air BnB is popular for those trying to get the most of their travel budget. Most NHL cities have other interesting things to visit to supplement your vacation to the USA and Canada with enriching experiences.

Some Jagr-related social media accounts:
@68Jagr on twitter. This is the real site, the one and only official Jaromir Jagr twitter account. Postings are rare, but worth the wait.
The two best Jagr facebook pages are:
https://www.facebook.com/68Jagr/?fref=ts
This is the page Jagr posts on, if he is going to post at all. With 700,000+ followers, he doesn’t monitor the page that closely or answer messages, so don’t be offended.
Another good facebook page is one produced by someone in the Czech Republic. It has more than 100,000 likes. This is not the official page, but it is very good.

The following Flames Bloggers should have some Jagr content this season:

@BlogTheFlames
@Zdenek_Janda Czech reporter who covers the NHL and reports on other news for the people of the Czech Republic, sometimes from the USA.
@Jsmidcro Jan Smid was a US-based Czech reporter who collaborated on “Jagr”, an autobiography in the late 90’s detailing Jagr’s early life and career in the NHL. Smid now covers international affairs but has remained friends with Jagr through the years. A good follow for his international news. The book is till available on Amazon and ebay, tells the early story of Jagr’s life and career through 1996. Comes with a nice replica autograph inside so don’t be fooled by claims that the book is hand-signed by Jagr unless there’s a second, smaller signature somewhere.

TRAVELLING JAGRS links
@68isgr8 is the twitter for The Traveling Jagrs. Clad in different Jagr jerseys and hair styles from 68’s career, they gained league-wide recognition when they caught Jagr’s attention during a pre-game skate of a Dallas Stars game in Canada during the 2012-2013 season. Since then, they convene at games in Western Canada and make a road trip or two every year, playing street hockey with locals, posing for hundreds of pictures, and having a good time with fans while honoring an all-time NHL legend. This is the official site for the group but is the personal twitter for Dallas Stars Jagr, aka Trevor Freeman
Speaking of pictures or any other inquiries–write to the Travelling Jagrs directly at thetravellingjagrs@gmail.com.
