Jaromir Jagr made history once again on Saturday, and all due respect to scoring a rare goal as a 44-year-old, this bit means a lot more.
The living legend scored the 741st goal of his career (and, OK, his second at age 44) to tie Brett Hull for third all-time in goals.
Jagr still has a healthy chunk of time to score another goal against the Winnipeg Jets and pass “The Golden Brett” altogether.
