Twitter Reaction: Jagr ties Messier for second on NHL points list

Watch as Jaromir Jagr records an assist to tie Mark Messier for points in a career.

The ageless wonder Jaromir Jagr came into Tuesday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres three points shy of Mark Messier for second on the NHL’s all-time career points list.

So, naturally, Jagr put three assists on the Sabres in a shootout win.

Jagr reached 1,887 points in 94 fewer games than Messier and did it with 61 more goals. Jagr is also third on the all-time goals list with 755, 46 behind Gordie Howe.

But he’s still 970 points and 139 goals behind Wayne Gretzky.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Jagr’s feat.
