The Penguins honored Jagr before their game, retiring his number and allowing him to address the crowd. After the ceremony, Jagr joined the broadcast team in the booth to watch the game. It was during this time that the incident occurred.
While conversing with the television crew, Jagr reacted to a close call for the Penguins with an expletive, which was picked up by the microphones.
It was a harmless mistake from Jagr, who likely wasn't accustomed to being mic'd up during a game. Nonetheless, the incident quickly became a viral moment from his special evening. Congratulations to Jaromir Jagr on the well-deserved honor.
