Petr Sykora thinks his fellow Czech Jaromir Jagr is quite a hockey player. But as a landlord he could use some improvement.
When Sykora came to the Pittsburgh Penguins this season, he needed a place to live and Jagr just happened to have a place for rent. Jagr hasn't needed a house in Pittsburgh since his messy departure from the Penguins in 2001. He still gets booed every time he touches the puck when he comes back to Mellon Arena and expects no less when he and the New York Rangers open their second-round NHL playoff series against the Penguins on Friday night.
If Sykora and Jagr happen to line up opposite each other at a faceoff, the Penguins winger just might have a word about a certain persistent problem at Casa Jagr.
“I have a war going on against the ants in Jagr's house right now,” Sykora said. “I lost the first battle, but I'm going to win the war.”
It won't be an easy win, Sykora has to fight two different armies.
“I have the little ones in one part and the bigger ones in the second part,” he said.
