Jagr reflects on milestone point: '(Puck) hit my ass'
It didn't happen quite the way he pictured it.
After Jaromir Jagr recorded career point 1,888, and with the game on hold to celebrate him passing Mark Messier on the NHL's all-time points list, he was asked what the milestone meant.
Jagr said he would have liked the point to come on a goal or a beautiful assist, but the puck happened to touch a certain area of his pants before finding Aleksander Barkov's stick and then the back of the net.

Never leave us, Jaromir.
