Must see: Jaromir Jagr's final lap as a Pittsburgh Penguin.
Jaromir Jagr took one final lap in a Pittsburgh Penguins uniform on Sunday following his jersey retirement.
It was a fitting way to close what will go down as a very memorable jersey retirement ceremony.
On Sunday night, after the festivities surrounding Jagr's jersey retirement had mostly wrapped up, the living legend took to the ice for one final time as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins when he joined the current members of the Penguins roster on the ice for warmups.
It was an unbelievable scene as all of the Penguins came out sporting Jagr's gear and hair, making for an incredible visual and making for a great surprise when the genuine item hit the ice.
Some of the players really got into it, looking at you Sidney Crosby.
The whole thing was capped off with one final lap and salute from Jagr as a Penguin.
