Jaromir Jagr mildly insulted Penguins' star Sidney Crosby, according to the NY Post. Jagr remarked, "With all due respect for Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, I don't think they are Mario Lemieux. I say that with all due respect because the game has changed. The gap between the best and worst players on a team today is very small. The gap between Mario and the rest of the guys when I was in Pittsburgh was so huge he was able to score 20 points in one series. I don't think those kids are able to do it. If I am wrong I am going to apologize and say, 'Great job.' There were games we won 6-5 that Mario scored six points. The next night, 5-3, he scored five. Crosby can do it once in a while but not every game like Lemieux. Some nights you can't tell who is first line and fourth line in this new NHL. Wayne Gretzky in the '80s was far better than anyone else. So was Mario in the '90s. You came to watch the individual because they were so much better. I love to watch highlights of when great players dominated. I wish I could do it. It's not working anymore."
