Back in December, Florida Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr asked fans on Twitter to not vote him into the 2016 All-Star Game, citing the fact that he's too old, and doesn't want to die playing 3-on-3 hockey.
The fans didn't listen, as the 43-year-old future Hall of Famer was voted into the game as captain of the Atlantic Division squad. After seeing Arizona Coyotes enforcer John Scott was also selected as a captain on Saturday, Jagr shared that he now fears for his life even more:
Fans-I was afraid,that 3on3 all-Star game may kill me,now,I am more afraid,fighting John Scott 6,8 300 during All-Star, kill me for sure

If it makes Jagr feel any better, NHL.com only has Scott listed at 260 pounds.
Never stop tweeting, Jags.
