PHILADELPHIA (AP) #8212;Jaromir Jagr(notes) flashed a few reminders of his old MVPstyle.That signature move. He broke out a salute to fans and his PhiladelphiaFlyers teammates after each of his two goals #8212;a trademark Jagr hadn #8217;t regularlydisplayed since his Pittsburgh Penguins days.That smile. After a rough start to the season, Jagr had a pair of wide grinsto celebrate the goals that h football online elped snap the Flyers out of a two-game funk.That celebration. Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds leapt into Jagr #8217;s arms afterhis first goal and the rest of his teammates mobbed him as if he had scored thewinning goal in a playoff game. In NFL terms, it was Mile High Salute meetsLambeau Leap. In his NHL return, Jagr has become an instant team leader and fan favorite,even as concerns over his football online scoring slump lingered.Not any more. #8220;I #8217;ll take Jagr on any goalie in the league, any time, #8221; Flyers forwardScott Hartnell said.All that was missing was the mullet.Jagr and Hartnell each scored two goals in Philadelphia #8217;s 4-2 win over theToronto Maple Leafs on Monday night, giving the Flyers a reason to feel goodabout a game where they lost captain Chris Pronger to a serious football online eye injury.Jagr had the breakout game courtesy of the breakaway.Both of his goals came when it was Jagr-on-Jonas Gustavsson and nothing butice between them. Jagr scored his first NHL goal since April 6, 2008, courtesyof a sweet feed from Claude Giroux, when he split a pair of defenders and skatedinto the open ice for a power-play goal late in the first period.After the Maple Leafs cut the deficit football online to 3-2 in the third, Jagr foundhimself all alone on a breakaway for the easy score #8212;and one more salute. #8220;You don #8217;t want to see Jaromir Jagr coming in alone with nobody aroundhim, #8221; Toronto coach Ron Wilson said. #8220;He is going to more than likely bury it.Another breakaway. We had them on the fullcourt press. He #8217;s a fantastic playerwhen he gets time and space like t football online hat. #8221;Jagr had his best game as a Flyer since he returned from a three-year stintin the Kontinental Hockey League for Avangard Omsk. He enjoyed Russia, butwanted one more shot at the NHL. He played last spring for the Czech Republic inthe world championships, totaling nine points in nine games, and proved he hadstill had something left in the tank.The preseason returns for the 1999 league MVP football online showed he hadn #8217;t lost much ofa step. Jagr scored four goals and it was natural to think that would carry overinto the regular season.Not quite. Jagr had four assists, but struggled to find shots, much less thenet. Even for a veteran and a Stanley Cup champion, the goal-scoring droughtaffected his confidence.Jagr changed everything from his skates and gloves to mix up his luck. Helaughed whe football online n he said he was hit during warmups, which might have jostled freethe recipe for that old scoring touch. #8220;I thought I was going to play better than I did, that #8217;s for sure, #8221; Jagrsaid. #8220;After a while, you #8217;re mentally tired and you #8217;re pressing and you justcan #8217;t score. You stop playing your game. A lot of stuff is mental, trust me. Youcould see the difference o football online n anybody when they score and when they don #8217;t score. #8221;Jagr now has 648 goals in his NHL career, ranking among the game #8217;s all-timebest. The Czech star is one of 25 players with a Stanley Cup and gold medalsfrom the Olympics and world championships. His teammates preached patience asJagr adjusts to an evolved NHL game. #8220;He had a great preseason and I think everyone was expectin football online g 50 goals in 50games, #8221; Hartnell said. #8220;It #8217;s not reality. #8221;Jagr had so much fun, he bust out the salute for busting out of the slump.Jagr said he hadn #8217;t pulled off the move in 15 years. #8220;We had a little wager going on the side to see if he was going to do it ornot, #8221; Hartnell said. #8220;He hasn #8217;t lost a step with that. It #8217;s nice to see himwith a football online big grin on his face. #8221;The Flyers needed a reason to smile after losing Pronger, their stardefenseman and leader, to a serious eye injury. Pronger will miss two to threeweeks and spend the next few days on bed rest after taking a brutal blow to theoutside of the right eye.Pronger and Toronto #8217;s Mikhail Grabovski sprinted for a loose puck in thecircle after a rebound off Flyers goalie Se football online rgei Bobrovsky in the first period.Grabovski slapped at the puck, but his stick connected with Pronger #8217;s and theblade shot straight up into the defenseman #8217;s face.Pronger, who does not wear a visor, complained of blurred vision. #8220;I think he was very scared and rightly so, #8221; Flyers general manager PaulHolmgren said. #8220;When something like that happens to your eye, you #8217 football online ;re worriedabout what #8217;s going on. I think he settled down over a period of time and wasfine when he left. #8221;In the postgame locker room, Flyers were visibly relieved when questionsshifted from Pronger to Jagr.Jagr had his 114th career two-goal game #8212;but with both scores onbreakaways, he knows he has to find more creative methods. #8220;I #8217;ve got to find another move, #8221; Jag football online r said, with one final big smile onthe night.
