To the theif(s?) out there who stole the Jaromir Jagr bobbleheads that were meant to be handed out at Thursday’s Pittsburgh Penguins game: BOOOO! HOW DARE YOU? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Seriously, that is a thing that happened. Per the team, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Pens said “the shipment carrying the Jagr bobbleheads for tonight’s game has been stolen en route to Pittsburgh.” Fans will get vouchers for a future date to pick them up.
But: WHO STEALS BOBBLEHEADS? COME ON! Still, NHL fans had so many jokes about this, as you’d probably expect. Here’s a sampling of them:
All fans in attendance will receive a voucher that includes a one-time scannable barcode that will be required to pick up the bobblehead at a later date.
Location and dates for pickup will be shared when the items are safely located or new bobbleheads are produced and available…
