Social Media Buzzes as Jaromir Jagr Visits Penguins, Sparks Retirement Speculations Over the weekend, the internet was ablaze with excitement as pictures of Jaromir Jagr flooded the Pittsburgh Penguins' social media platforms. Jagr, who was in town for an autograph signing event, made a stop at PPG Paints Arena, where he received a tour and a few presents from the Penguins. One particular image captured Penguins' President of Business Operations, Kevin Acklin, and Jagr gazing up at the championship banners adorning the arena's rafters, some of which Jagr had contributed to during the 1990s. It is possible that during their encounter, the two also discussed the potential retirement of Jagr's iconic number 68 jersey and its future placement within the arena.
