This was pretty incredible to watch...

Jaromir Jagr, on the Mount Rushmore of Penguins players finally got what he had coming today as the Pittsburgh Penguins honored Jaromir Jagr and retired his number 68 to the rafters of PPG Paints Arena. We got several incredible moments over the last couple of days. Kris Letang talking with Jagr about his number 68 and 58, Jagr participating in practice, the official ceremony today prior to the Kings game, Jagr surprising fans and participating in the pregame warmups alongside Sidney Crosby and the Penguins who all wore his number and also rocked mullet wigs. We also got a hilarious moment where Jagr acknowledged his girlfriend didn't even know about his days with Pittsburgh because of how young she is as well as Jagr dropping and F bomb during the broadcast. I cover it all and more in todays NHL hockey video!

In 1996, a 9 year old Derick was lucky enough to meet Jaromir Jagr at an autograph signing. I asked him if his hand hurt from signing so many things and he smiled at me and said "I'm tough". Such a simple interaction but it meant everything at the time. Glad to see him get a banner!

Man is still playing hockey, for a team he owns. A guy who truly LOVES the game.

Jagr- quite possibly the greatest hockey career of all time. His Player Bio Stat Page is mind boggling.

Pán hokejista Jaromír Jágr, vtipný a charizmatický človek.Klobuk dolu pred jeho úžasnou kariérou.Velmi si ho vážim ❤

I'm certainly not a Penguins fan, but I grew up watching 68 dominate the NHL in the 90s and the ceremony brought tears to my eyes. A truly beautiful tribute to one of the all time greats.

Flew down to TO from Vancouver. From Toronto I rented a car and drove down to Pitt, then across Pennsylvania to Philly, ending in DC and Madison Square Gardens (Remember the awesome Patrick Division?) - to follow their last 4 games of the season. They won all 4 handily and these guys guys were superb. I love Mario, because he's supernatural and a CLASS act. But then there's the Magic of Jagr. Wow! I love, love, love that guy. Big, strong & superbly talented. Unfortunately, they bowed out surprisingly to everyone that year in the first round, ugh. IT WAS THE BEST HOCKEY EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE!! Much LOVE for JAGR!

This guy was so good back in the day. He’s a legend, he should’ve won more than one Hart trophy.

[dudmenn]

Pens legends. Great duo Mario 66 and Jaromír 68. Last salute on the ice with Pittsburgh jersey and players. WOW.

[SherryLee-se]

Thank you Penguins!!! JAGR is still a beast!! I luv watching him play!!
Glad he was on my team - Dallas Stars - in 2012-2013...glad we got to be a oart of his NHL play time💚💚

I'm a Kings fan, but Facebook reminded me that today made 7 years to the day I drove down from college, back to LA, to see Jagr play for the Panthers against the Kings. I had a weird feeling that would be my last chance to get to see him and I wasn't wrong. Crazy to think how his NHL career is over, but I'm so happy he still gets to see all the love the fans have for him all around the league. I haven't ever met a single NHL fan who didn't love Jags

[emanuel]

The reason why they havent done this earlier is because usually they do this after the player has ended the career but this guy just never quit!

[wesjones]

Jagr was one of the first rookies I remember watching play as a kid....He was incredible throughout his career...and really stood out despite playing under his idol Lemieux...What is really cool is to see not only how much he complemented Lemiuex throughout the 90s, and the duo became the stuff of legend...after Mario retired, Jagr went on to cement his own fate right next to his hero. Jagr will always remain one of the most entertaining players I ever had the privilege to watch.

[hockey_highlights_and_more]

Thanks to my girlfriend who’s too young to remember me playing in Pittsburgh but I told her all about it 🤣🤣🤣 what an fn legend, the boys dying with laughter at that was funny af too

[SoulSteeler]

Im born and raised in Pittsburgh. Huge penguins fan. I remember watching him growing up. I know he didn't leave on the best of terms but it only makes sense he's back home. Awesome.

[leafyutube]

Jagr in '92 against the NY Rangers with Mario injured was the start of the legend.

[cyrilwingnek-qwik]

I'm 48.people my age were lucky to have had the sometimes daily entertainment these guys gave us.thanks jagr and the many others

[travr]

Long overdue and well deserved for Jagr. Classy move by the Pens getting him out there for warmups in full gear too. Legend.

Growing up a Flyers fan, I despised the Penguins in the 90's and even to this day. Obviously Jagr and Lemieux were generational talents and a treat to watch on the ice in the old school clutch and grab style of play. I watched the ceremony from start to finish and what a beautiful job that the Penguins organization did. It made me feel old seeing all of the video clips, but it also brought back a lot of wonderful memories. Jagr is a class act and an all around great guy.

[caplinGrey]

It was so fascinating as a kid, watching Jagr and Lemieux.
