Jagr Mania as Czechs Advance

It's what legends are made of. Jaromir Jagr scored twice, including the late winner, as the host Czechs beat Finland 5-3 to make the semi-finals versus Canada.

The 43-year-old IIHF Triple Gold Club member picked up the puck behind the net after Janne Pesonen handed it away. He came around Finnish goalie Pekka Rinne's left post, and fired it through the gap between the kneeling netminder's left arm and his body – with just 4:30 left in the third period.

Jagr, the fourth-leading scorer in NHL history, finished with a three-point night. Jan Kovar also stepped up with two goals and an assist for the Czechs, and captain Jakub Voracek added two assists.
