Our pick: Pittsburgh- Los Angeles: 1

19.02.2024 00:07

There will be a big celebration in Pittsburgh today. Jaromir Jagr’s number 68 will go under the ceiling of the arena, and Jagr will officially make peace with his first NHL team. Jagr has been in Pittsburgh for a few days now, and we can say that “Jagrmania” has truly reigned. The Czech legend has already met Mario Lemieux for dinner and had a training session with the current team. Stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin gushed over the fact that they can be on the same ice with their role models. Hundreds of fans applauded him.

Jagr has already had a few other formalities. At one banquet, he even commented on his departure from the team, which many fans take as a betrayal. But it looks like all is sparked and it’s going to be a real show tonight in the game against Los Angeles. Jagr is an icon in Pittsburgh. Maybe not as big as Lemieux or even Crosby, but he will take the fans back to the 90’s when Jagr dominated. It will be a huge motivation for the current players. They will be present at the ceremony.

The Americans know how to put on a show, and let’s hope it will be spectacular today and pull the team together for a great performance. The fact that Los Angeles is on the road, playing for the second consecutive day with travel and the fourth in the last six, could also be an advantage. The Kings will be tired.

What to bet on: Crosby will take it on himself. He won’t let anything spoil Jagr’s night tonight. Pittsburgh will take a cue from the great atmosphere in the arena tonight and beat a tired opponent.

Trust: 8/10
