Jagr has played hard all season, but the pucks just haven't been going in for him. He hasn't really talked much about his future beyond this season, said he loves playing in New York, and that he will wait until after the season to make any decisions.
He hasn't been the same player this year that IMO should of won the MVP coming out of the lockout in 05/06 (it was downright fun watching him that year, he was dominant), but he's still had a decent year. He's 36 years old now, so it's no surprise that he's starting to slow down. He's shown flashes in recent weeks though, and hopefully he can turn it up a gear come playoff time (assuming they make it) like he did last spring.
