Hertl poses for postgame photo with large Czech contingent

Tomas Hertl hasn't forgotten where he came from.

The San Jose Sharks' overtime loss Wednesday to the Florida Panthers didn't stop Hertl from joining a big gathering of fans from his native Czech Republic for a photo after the game, and he shared the moment Thursday.

It was Czech Heritage Night at the Shark Tank, as well as a milestone night for Czech legend Jaromir Jagr, who collected his 1,900th point.
