RICHMOND, Va. -- What a thrill it's been having Jaromir Jagr back in the fold this weekend, taking the ice at Penguins practice and having a legitimately cool moment with lifelong fan Kris Letang. I still wish Jags' return to Pittsburgh had occurred back in the summer of 2011, but that's all water under the bridge, and tonight's number retirement figures to be one for the ages. In his day, there was just nobody who could get me to jump out of my seat as he scored goal after astounding goal, and I feel so lucky to have been able to watch him in the prime of his career, skating for my favorite team. Congrats, #68, and welcome to the rafters at last!
