True or false: Jagr won a Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1991 and 1992.

Accepted Answer

False. He won back-to-back Cups in 1991 and 1992 with the Penguins, so this is actually true—but the statement is false? Wait, it's true. Correction: He did win in 1991 and 1992. I mis-assigned this.
