The New York Rangers Centennial season continues as they revisit the past, which is full of legends. A discussion between two legendary Rangers happened in a series called Centennial Conversations, which features Jaromir Jagr and Henrik Lundqvist, where he reflected on his time here.
Jaromir Jagr spent three and a half years in the Rangers organization and set several records records for the Original Six franchise during his time here.
In the latest Centennial Conversations with himself and Henrik Lundqvist, he reflected on his time here in New York. Jagr mentioned how proud he was to be a part of the Blueshirts, where he had nothing but fun playing here.
The only Rangers player who has shattered any of his records is Artemi Panarin.
When the season ended, Jagr established new single-season franchise records for goals (54), points (123), power play goals (24), and shots on goal (368), and he tied the single-season franchise record for game-winning goals (nine). He finished the season two goals and two points shy of the NHL lead in each category, ranked second in the league in shots on goal, and was among the top-five players in the league in assists (69) and game-winning goals.
We predict that one record that will stand the test of time could be his single-season goals-scored record of 54, which he set in 2005-06.

Jagr played a total of 277 games for the Blueshirts and scored 319 points (124-195) with a plus +67.
His essential play helped drive the Rangers back into the playoff discussion during the 2005-06 season, a year after the lockout.
The Rangers made the right choices to help enable him to flourish offensively, placing him on the same line as Martin Straka and Michael Nylander.
