Last season we learned Jaromir Jagr let his hair evolve into the flowing mullet because of his tribute to the big hair bands of the day.
Years before that his father told him to pick music or hockey. It worked out right. For the good of hockey Jagr chose to build a strong body and chase pucks, entertaining the world with strength and skill in the NHL since 1990.
Without pursuing music, Jagr has made it to one of the music industry’s most famous publications. RollingStone.com had a feature on Jaromir Jagr this week. Thanks to Dallas Stars Jagr of the Traveling Jagrs for sharing this on his facebook page.

The article highlights some numbers Jagr is chasing. The kind of thing we do every day at Jagrometer.com, where visitors around the world get up to date stats and milestones after every game. If Jagr plays tonight he will tie Scott Stevens for 7th all-time in games played.
The Florida Panthers start a four-game road trip in Pittsburgh Tuesday night vs. the Penguins. Then it’s on to Toronto Thursday, Buffalo Saturday and Detroit Sunday.
A trip to Pittsburgh is a trip back in time to where his career started. A good on-line article was published by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette leading up to Jagr’s arrival tomorrow.

Bobblehead Auction Tracker
But it now as low as $50 plus shipping with prices ranging up to $100 on ebay. Current auctions running in the $30-$45 range plus shipping. Might be a chance for savings by going beyond the next two ebay auctions to expire. These are nice bobbleheads, made of plaster rather than plastic.

Some Jagr-related social media accounts:
@68Jagr This is the real site, the one and only official Jaromir Jagr twitter account. Postings are rare, but worth the wait. Jagr has been more active on Twitter this season.
The two best Jagr facebook pages are:
https://www.facebook.com/68Jagr/?fref=ts
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.
