Freeze Frame: What would Jagr think of Zucker's wicked winner?

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Jason Zucker isn't just funny.

He's funny at being funny.

No more than a few minutes after the Penguins' 3-0 shutout of the Jets on this Saturday night at Canada Life Centre, one he helped decide with the icebreaking goal 53 seconds into the third period, I couldn't help but jab him and ask what Jaromir Jagr might've thought of it.

You know, the same Jagr who recently joked -- I think he was joking anyway, as it's always been hard to tell with him -- that Zucker needed to "work on your shot" and shoot "harder" than the goal in Buffalo that prompted Zucker to do the Jagr salute.
