data-mm-id=”_2514rwkwi”>Pittsburgh Penguins fans who score tickets for tonight's game against the San Jose Sharks were probably pretty excited to get a sweet Jaromír Jágr bobblehead upon arrival. Who amongst us would not want to have that man's beautiful mullet flowing mere feet from wherever they were doing spreadsheets? It's tough to look at Jagr and not smile, recalling a simpler time when you could make players' heads bleed in video game hockey. But nothing gold can stay and we live in a hell world and other sayings like that tend to ring true as the team has provided a devastating update on the situation. Apparently their stock was stolen while in transit to the Steel City. 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.— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) March 14, 2024We're trying to live in a society here, folks. You cannot go around stealing bobbleheads and expect to sleep soundly at night. This is the type of case you'd like to see some aspiring Sam Gerrard take on and vow to a embark on a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in the area. And if the eventual trial takes place anywhere in Pennsylvania, good luck finding a sympathetic jury. Guess it could be worse, though. Some criminal mastermind could have attempted a Sudden Death.

Barcelona have let themselves down once again. After a shock loss to Roma last season, they repeated the embarrassment with a 4-0 loss at Anfield this Tuesday and now Spanish media claim Blaugrana is heading for a squad overhaul this summer.

Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink believes Eden Hazard has a long road ahead of him to reach the level of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and has advised the Belgium international to play like an amateur in order to get back to his best.
Hazard was put in the same bracket as Messi and Ronaldo by some after inspiring Chelsea to the Premier League title in an impressive 2014-15 campaign but like many of his team-mates, he has been unable to replicate that form this term.
The 25-year-old has scored just three times in 28 Premier League appearances this season and, even though he has improved in recent weeks, Hiddink feels the winger still has plenty of work to do.
I think Eden has a long road ahead to reach the same form as in 2014-15 again, Hiddink said at…
