The Penguins announced today that the shipment carrying the Jagr bobbleheads for tonight’s game has been stolen en route to Pittsburgh.
As a result, the bobbleheads will not be distributed at tonight’s game, but will be distributed at a later date.

Tonight, the Pittsburgh Penguins were to honor Jaromir Jagr’s career by giving away bobbleheads in his likeness to fans attending the club’s game tonight.
But in the end, it won’t be possible. Why not?
Because, as announced by the Pennsylvania organization, the bobbleheads aren’t in town – unlike the real Jagr. They’ve been stolen, and no one at the Penguins knows where to find them.
I agree with this Twitter user: I don’t know if it’s funnier to think the theft happened if the thieves knew or didn’t know what was in the boxes.
Not sure which is funnier, someone planning to deliberately pull off a bobblehead heist, or someone just stealing boxes as opportunity arises only to realize they have thousands of Jaromir Jagr bobbleheads and the Pittsburgh Penguins are not happy https://t.co/Nc97nDniHM

But hey. One thing is certain: the Penguins need to find a solution. And for now, the solution is to say that the fans on hand won’t be receiving bobbleheads, but rather a coupon.
At the moment, the Penguins don’t yet know whether they’ll have to recover the stolen items or simply have a new batch produced. That hasn’t been decided yet.
The Penguins are already being questioned about the direction of the club, so let’s just say that the organization didn’t need to have its bobbleheads stolen on what was supposed to be a positive evening.
But at the same time, we’re not talking about the bad product on the ice…
In Brief
– Of note.
After missing the previous day’s full practice, Juraj Slafkovsky, David Savard and Josh Anderson are absent from morning practice in preparation for the Boston game.

In addition to Reinbacher, Adam Engstrom could also be joining the Rocket soon. And Engstrom has better numbers than Norlinder did back in the day, despite being labeled an offensive defenseman.
