They’re counting the votes as I type this, but I think it’s safe to say that Montreal Canadiens PK Subban won the NHL All-Star Skills competition with his hilarious impression of Jaromir Jagr circa 20 years ago (UPDATE: he did, in fact, win).
The wig, the old-school Jofa helmet, the wide-legged upright skating. Subban absolutely nailed this one much to Jagr’s (and everyone else’s) chagrin.

And of course, he capped it off with the Jagr’s go-to goal salute.

There’s been a lot of highlights in the skills competition so far, but this is certainly one they’ll talk about for years to come.
It was funny:))) I didn't know he's going to do it. P.K.-my little brother 🙂 pic.twitter.com/XFvVjbigWh
