Wednesday morning we linked to the nhl.com page for voting for the All-Star weekend Jan. 29-31 in Nashville. In the evening Jaromir Jagr sent a message on twitter voting for him. Check out this exchange:

Teemu Selanne @TeemuSel8nne :))) I do it for you, but if they decide, it’s not good and change it again in 2026 to play 2 on 2-i’m not going:) too old 54
The three-on-three overtime during the games is exciting and would like to see Jaromir get more opportunities in it during Florida Panthers games but understand the toll it would take on all players in an extended format as being conducted this year for the All-Star game. Still, it was good to see the voting in his favor for the first couple days. Thanks to our man in Finland, Pyry Puustinen, for sending this along.
Boston lost in a shootout to Edmonton, while Tampa Bay beat Anaheim and Winnipeg beat Toronto Wednesday night in the only games involving Atlantic Divsision teams.
Hope we can present a revised Jagr-O-Meter tomorrow.

Some Jagr-related social media accounts:
@68Jagr This is the real site, the one and only official Jaromir Jagr twitter account. Postings are rare.
The two best Jagr facebook pages are: https://www.facebook.com/68Jagr/ This is the page Jagr posts on, if he is going to post at all.
Another good facebook page is one produced by someone in the Czech Republic. It has more than 100,000 likes. This is not the official page, but it is very good.

@68isgr8 is the twitter for The Traveling Jagrs. Clad in different Jagr jerseys and hair styles from 68’s career, they gained league-wide recognition when they caught Jagr’s attention during a pre-game skate of a Dallas Stars game in Canada during the 2012-2013 season. Since then, they convene at games in Western Canada and make a road trip or two every year, playing street hockey with locals, posing for hundreds of pictures, and having a good time with fans while honoring an all-time NHL legend.
