A Lot Has Changed Since Jaromir Jagr Last played in the Stanley Cup

The Boston Bruins take on the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup finals that kick off tonight.

(Watch Game One live tonight at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.)

Bruins right wing Jaromir Jagr, 41, will be returning to the finals for the first time since 1992. That year, 20-year-old Jagr won his second title with the Pittsburgh Penguins, beating the Blackhawks.

The world has changed a lot since Jagr’s last appearance in the Stanley Cup; let’s take a look:

· Jagr’s home country was still known as Czechoslovakia.
· Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton wasn’t even born yet.
· The Internet wasn’t being used by the public yet; it was mostly reserved for the government and big universities.
· “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men and “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix A-lot were at the top of the music charts.
· “Aladdin” and “Home Alone Two: Lost In New York” were the top grossing movies at the box office.
· People still used car phones and a new device—the cell phone—was being introduced.
· A gallon of gas cost $1.05.
· Microsoft released Windows 3.1.
· The first Super Soaker water gun was one of this most popular holiday gift purchases.
· The top primetime television shows were “60 Minutes” and “Rosanne.”
