Thursday night was supposed to be Jaromir Jagr bobblehead night in Pittsburgh -- with a packed arena celebrating the Penguins legend -- but those plans went to hell when a cargo shipment carrying thousands of the collectible figurines was stolen!
The Penguins made the gut punch of an announcement Thursday morning, saying, "the shipment carrying the Jagr bobbleheads for tonight’s game has been stolen en route to Pittsburgh" ... after arriving in California.
Pittsburgh is playing the San Jose Sharks at home .
