Zucker greeted “Jägrish” after opening the scoring in Wednesday’s game against Buffalo with a great shot from the first.
“We salute you, Jaromír”, the Penguins later wrote on their Twitter account in a long-distance greeting to one of the best players in the history of the club and of the entire NHL.
A few hours later, Jágr himself responded to the Czech Republic’s tribute.
“I have read some comments. Some liked it (Zucker imitation), others didn’t. But I love it, “said the famous hockey player and now extraleague owner Kladno in a video post on his Twitter account.
“I feel there was a piece of respect for our era, our team, because we also had many great players”, Jágra was pleased with the memory of those times in the 90s, when he went crazy alongside the legendary Mario Lemieux, with who celebrated by winning two Stanley Cups.
In the end, he didn’t even forgive a message directly to Zucker. “Thanks Penguins, thanks Jason. And Jason, anyway, keep working on your shot. Because he wasn’t strong enough, “he scolded the 30-year-old forward.
