I don't think it's a matter of if, I understand there's some feelings between Jagr and the Penguins but he's still arguably the third best player to ever play for the Penguins, some may argue the second.
The whole "dying alive" thing it was understandable that fans would be upset, but I never understood the reasoning behind hating him even more after he signed with Philadelphia. I understand the rivalry, but Jagr basically said the Penguins were planning on using him in a third line role alongside Staal and Philadelphia was just a better opportunity. If you want to blame anyone, blame the coaching staff at the time for not thinking more highly of him.
