Following the Florida Panthers' 5-4 shootout victory on Saturday, Jaromir Jagr had no interest in taking some time to rest and relax after a two-point night.
The 44-year-old posted a photo of himself on Facebook wearing two weight vests - at 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning with a lengthy message, written in his native Czech.
"If you want to be better than the opponent, you have to train when he's asleep," Jagr wrote, according to James Mirtle of The Globe and Mail.
The extra work is clearly paying off for him, as he leads his team with 53 points this season, and now sits third all-time on the NHL scoring list behind only Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier.
