Jaromir Jagr was lucky enough to deflect a puck to get his 1,888th point, moving him past Mark Messier to become the second all-time leading scorer in NHL history.
As soon as it happened last night it was already being hailed as one of the many timeless quotes to come from the hockey world. Mostly because it's just such a distinctly Jagr thing to say, you know that 50 years from now when he finally decides to retire, that's still going to be the definitive quote people associate with him.
Congrats to one of the top offensive players of all time! I think he's right up there with Gretzky and Lemieux, though we'll never know what kind of points Jagr would have put up in the 80's or early 90's, hade he been in his prime then. Jagr played through the toughest and most defensive, and low-scoring era of the NHL in his prime (late 90's, early 2000). Hockey is always in development, so it's not possible to compare today's best with the best of Jagr's era anymore either. Just have to appreciate the best players of their eras.
Jagr is true legend. I have never seen anybody work so hard. I love the fact he kept it real. Played with the biggest legends and became one of them. Congratulations.
legenda. Jardo díky, za lepší rána díky tobě ! Vstanu a první se dívám jestli si dal gola nebo měl asistenci a že už je to sakra dlouho... jen způsoby se mění..od Teletextu až po livesport na mobilu.... díky :)

Souhlas. Jsem na tom podobně a kvůli tomuhle bodu jsem uprostřed noci vstával na budík... a jsem rád, že jsem to mohl vidět. Ten "člověk" je neskutečnej...
Congratulations to Jaromir Jagr for getting 2nd rank in NHL history. He his one of the reasons i became a Pittsburgh Penguins fan and he still one of my favorite players even if he left my team a long time ago . He is one of hockey's legends and i hope to see him play long enough to reach 2 000 points !
Justin Bovell Reignerific got it right. second of all time in scoring and you don't see a reason for the league to celebrate? Why would you even click on the video then? #troll
The reason why they had a ceremony: To celebrate the accomplishment and amazing career of Jagr And They know no ones ever gonna beat Gretzkys record so they might as well treat it like a number one spot
True legend and great ambassador for the sport! Came to the league in 1990. This man has been playing hockey longer than some of the little shits posting here have been alive. LEGENDARY!
The Hall of Fame said they won't induct a player before the 3 year waiting period unless there are "exceptional circumstances" - surely an exception could be made for Jagr
Don't know why everyone is stunned that they stopped the game to acknowledge this massive achievement. Lets put it in perspective: There have been tens of thousands of players in the NHL. Jagr now ranks number 2! Number freakin 2! They stopped the game when Gretz passed the milestone. They will def stop it for Jagr. Just as they will for the player lucky enough to pass Jagr...when that happens.
goals yes points hed have to play 15 years and even then hed be 60 and i wouldnt be able to score enough jamr 44 to reach that point total mark 43 wayne was 28 thats 15 years oh god my brain hurts thinking about it
Harrison Winterberg Gretzky played when hockey wasn't played like it is today, it was easier then, Jagr came into the game when it was like that but now has to play at faster pace, being second place in today's game is amazing, if Gretzky played in today he'd still be good I imagine but not as
I was so confused when the guy started running out on the ice with the mic why did they do this in the middle of the game why not wait till the start of the next? Still great milestone
I believe he said that in retrospect, without that break from NHL hockey, he would not have been able to continue playing as long as he has, both in the NHL and in pro hockey in general.
the guy comments mario came an inch within breaking his records yea 2900 points compared to 1700 163 assists in a season 11 100 point assist season compared to marios 1 yea thats an inch
fastest 500 goals 2nd fastest to score 1000 points oh wait hes fastest to score 1000 as well his first 1000 then his 2nd 1000 both faster than anyone in history more assists than anyone points 9 mvps more than any other athelete in north american sports i could go on and trust me i could but id be here all night or just goole wayne nhl records for your self
who ever posted you could score 20 goals in waynes era umm no you couldnt and guess what you havent so keep up with the comments you just prove my points more and more
rogersgirl10 they had a better angle on the broadcast that it shows it clearly going off his pants I don't know why they didn't show that angle here but what ever
While his "ass" comment made me howl, I dont understand why the NHL felt they had to stop mid game and have an awkward person come out and speak to and uncomfortable Jagr who clearly would rather have gone without that Stop trivializing the NHL
Imagine having a momemt like that. How can a player even in modern times actually beat Gretzky. Im sure it will happen someday. Well deserved gold stick.

"it hit my ass"
They ran a ceremony in the middle of the game 😂😂
as they should have
When something like this happens - game always stops to acknowledge that
A legend like Jaromir Jagr deserves every bit of it!
"It hit my ass". I don't know about all of you but that has to be called an iconic line.
As soon as it happened last night it was already being hailed as one of the many timeless quotes to come from the hockey world. Mostly because it's just such a distinctly Jagr thing to say, you know that 50 years from now when he finally decides to retire, that's still going to be the definitive quote people associate with him.
Absolute legend and a class act. Congrats to the greatest European hockey player of all-time!
Nicklas Lidström was there?
Just kidding, hard to quantify such great players.
My TOP 5 europeans all time :
1. Hasek
2. Jagr
3. Forsberg
4. Lidstrom
5. Bure
Sorry, but its absolutely iracional .... i live in Czech ... so i know ... and he is still better than 90% czech habitants. LOL
Or maybe stupid or arrogant ... who knows.
KoivuTheHab This is the most unintelligent convo I'v seen in a while..
Congrats Jagr!

Unveliable player. One of the best ever.
It's the great the legend Jaromir Jagr
Not even mad about Tuuk losing the shut-out. This is NHL history.
Go bs
Jagr is true legend. I have never seen anybody work so hard. I love the fact he kept it real. Played with the biggest legends and became one of them. Congratulations.
Been my favorite player since the '92 cup finals. If only he hadn't gone to the KHL, woulda broke 2000 pts.
woulda been dope if he taped up that gold stick and played with it
Could totally see him doing that. Lmao.
Ovie would do that
Nah. He probably sold it to pay off one of his many gambling debts....
very humble guy...

best winger ever
***** idk this is just my opinion i just really like Jagr
Andre Corbeil kurri was not better than jagr.
Kurri is not even close to Jagr. 4 Straight Art Ross Trophies is Gretzky/Mario level dominance.
Class act for acknowledging the Bruins twice.
Congratulations to Jaromir Jagr for getting 2nd rank in NHL history. He his one of the reasons i became a Pittsburgh Penguins fan and he still one of my favorite players even if he left my team a long time ago . He is one of hockey's legends and i hope to see him play long enough to reach 2 000 points !
Jagr is the best. We can´t count Gretzky, he is an alien 🙂
i wish hes gonna play the game until hes 60, one of my idol like 20 years ago and still playin, congrats Jaromir !!!
JtheMachine I hope he breaks the all time record but realistically he'all probably retire in the next 5
that would be cool but hes only 1000 ish points behind gretzky , he would need 20 other seasons of 50 pts , kinda impossible lol
JtheMachine exactly, it's not gonna happen, it'd be awesome but it's not happening
He’s still playing. in the KHL, but he’s still playing
@@acrossthetracks oh i know , just not in the NHL , hes a tough one for sure !
Jagr= GOAT. what a legend
Amazing legend Jaromir Jagr
The legend Jaromir Jagr.
Jagr is a living legend
greatest of all time
im diehard penguin fan since 84 and he is and always will be my favorite player.
Best Christmas present ever
Call me Daddy hi Hitler
True definition of a legend
legend that still on ice
A true legend
Gretzky wouldn't survive in the modern era. Jagr is the true GOAT.
That's what sets Jagr apart, he's had to adapt to a whole new style of playing. The league is getting exponentially faster paced.
LMAO clueless, Jagr is such a goat his last stanley cup was 1992, way before your birth. not a top5 all time player
Grigori Rasputin I was born in 91, whoops. Also, you're clueless if you actually think Jagr isn't even in the top 5 all time.
gretzky was 28 when he hit that total so yea i think your wright he wouldnt survive let me guess your a mario lover
nhl records wayne 61 mario 11
Great player, class act
Woah, it looks pretty packed for once.
Legend. #1888
Congrats Jagr! Wow amazing!
What a legend
thank you Jaromir Jagr! i'm so happy that this milestone went to a european player
A living legend
Wow wow wow all this for second place! It’s just hitting me how insane Gretzky’s accomplishment really is!
But Jagr is my fav player. Amazing
What a beauty!
What a great day for him.
"it hit my ass" 😂😂😂
10 more years and 1200 points he will be #+
I was in the game. Congrats jagr
остановили матч чтобы наградить? браво!! редко смотрю хоккей, но это достойно уважения!!
Good job buddy!
@2:49: Jagr's *real* prize for getting point number 1888.
You mean 2:15 that's the REAL prize.
damn
hilarious that they stopped the game to do this but credit to Jagr for being classy and apologising to the Bruins before accepting his golden stick
I'm done they stopped the game to do all this😂 congrats though
Considering the fact that Gretzky is still 969PTS ahead of Jagr, you've got to understand that 2nd place is all we have to celebrate.
i bet you're fun at parties
Justin Bovell Reignerific got it right. second of all time in scoring and you don't see a reason for the league to celebrate? Why would you even click on the video then? #troll
ABC yeah that's pretty true congratulations to Jaromir Jagr
I was there!
legend
Probably the best thing to ever happen to the Panthers lol.
I'm sorry but I'm happy he is number 2 and have been rooting for him but they stopped the game to make that an awkward situation. lol
The reason why they had a ceremony:
To celebrate the accomplishment and amazing career of Jagr
And
They know no ones ever gonna beat Gretzkys record so they might as well treat it like a number one spot
and he is still playing btw :D
True legend and great ambassador for the sport! Came to the league in 1990. This man has been playing hockey longer than some of the little shits posting here have been alive. LEGENDARY!
GOAT
I wish he could have had 2000 points.
what a moment
unbelievable.
The Hall of Fame said they won't induct a player before the 3 year waiting period unless there are "exceptional circumstances" - surely an exception could be made for Jagr
Don't know why everyone is stunned that they stopped the game to acknowledge this massive achievement. Lets put it in perspective: There have been tens of thousands of players in the NHL.

Just as they will for the player lucky enough to pass Jagr...when that happens.
If it wasn’t for the Dead Puck Era, he would have 800 goals, 1200 assists and 2000 points before retiring.
Wow that's amazing.....
Didn't know the panthers even had fans
"It hit my ahhss"
Next up, 2000 points.
take a lap! congrats!
How can anyone hate a guy like this?
WOW! in front of all 3 panthers fans too!
look up beauty in websters.. you will see jarg saluting
16 fans assisted this event
If only Gary Thorne called this moment
Awesome
Congrats jagr! But the fact they stopped mid game and had someone come out on the ice was honestly ridiculous should've waited until after the game
Bruins looked pissed at this little celebration
Nice to watch it happen. Sucks that Rask lost his shutout. Would've been better if he got the goal but damn man an assist off his ass is pretty good
Yea guys i passed the 2nd all time points leader and how did it It Hit My Ass
If Jags plays 10 more years he might pass Gretzky! #Hype
Wouldn't be surprised if he does
Wayne Train To think he played in the KHL for 3 seasons...
goals yes points hed have to play 15 years and even then hed be 60 and i wouldnt be able to score enough
jamr 44 to reach that point total mark 43 wayne was 28 thats 15 years oh god my brain hurts thinking about it
i mean he Said hes gonna go to 55 but i dont think that hrd going to pass Gretzky
they stopped the fuckin game😂😂😂
They give him the ceremony for second place because they known he (or anyone) will ever pass Gretzky.
Harrison Winterberg Gretzky played when hockey wasn't played like it is today, it was easier then, Jagr came into the game when it was like that but now has to play at faster pace, being second place in today's game is amazing, if Gretzky played in today he'd still be good I imagine but not as
yea reaching that point total at 28 years old is pretty good id say
think about it wayne reached that total and he was still in his prime jagrs an old man
I was so confused when the guy started running out on the ice with the mic why did they do this in the middle of the game why not wait till the start of the next? Still great milestone
Has it really been that long since the last milestone like this? When somebody breaks a remarkable NHL record, GAME STOPS.
who watched that like 10 times in a row ?
just you bro
nope
JtheMachine yeah just you m8
me :D
Put on subtitles when jagr speaks into the mic
Is that Denis Potvin?
People be like: "Laine is better"
Well, I mean Laine did score for a couple team's this year
they did this all during a game?
KaneIGetACup yes lol
It's kinda silly that they stoped the game for this though. Maybe after the game. Congrats.
When Ron Francis is the weakest player on your line, opposing teams are gonna have a bad time.
Imagine he doesn't miss 4 seasons in his prime. 😭😭😭 Ugh, why, Jags, WHY????
I believe he said that in retrospect, without that break from NHL hockey, he would not have been able to continue playing as long as he has, both in the NHL and in pro hockey in general.
Class act ! Respect. Hey, even if it hit his butt, still counts ! :-)
The_Chipmunk_Spoilers it doesn't say that on his stats
Brown haired girl at 2:52 👌🏼
Forget about Jagr, who are those stunners at 2:50😍 wouldn't mind then under my tree for Christmas 😈😄
The best thing about it was that this was probably his ugliest assist in his career.
Jagr should play until 51.
Aaaand he did!
the guy comments mario came an inch within breaking his records yea 2900 points compared to 1700 163 assists in a season
11 100 point assist season compared to marios 1 yea thats an inch
fastest 500 goals 2nd fastest to score 1000 points oh wait hes fastest to score 1000 as well his first 1000 then his 2nd 1000 both faster than anyone in history more assists than anyone points 9 mvps more than any other athelete in north american sports i could go on and trust me i could but id be here all night or just goole wayne nhl records for your self
Florida has fans???
who ever posted you could score 20 goals in waynes era umm no you couldnt and guess what you havent so keep up with the comments you just prove my points more and more
but yea marios arguments are if's waynes arguments are facts
Bro why did they stop to do all that now lol.. It looked so not professional.. They should've just done a big ass nice ceremony the next home game ..
Thirty Seven The same thing happened in 93 when Selanne hit broke the rookie goal record.
I'm not exactly sure where he deflected anything.
rogersgirl10 they had a better angle on the broadcast that it shows it clearly going off his pants I don't know why they didn't show that angle here but what ever
Thanks Quentin Marks. :-)
While his "ass" comment made me howl, I dont understand why the NHL felt they had to stop mid game and have an awkward person come out and speak to and uncomfortable Jagr who clearly would rather have gone without that
Stop trivializing the NHL
Imagine having a momemt like that. How can a player even in modern times actually beat Gretzky. Im sure it will happen someday. Well deserved gold stick.
