Jaromir Jagr with a Christmas Message for Alex Ovechkin

Watch out Ovi, Santa Jagr is coming for you! Hockey legend Jaromir Jagr took to Twitter on Christmas Day with a picture of himself dressed as Santa and a message directed at Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.

"Merry Christmas to you all. My job as a Santa is finish for this year, so I can concentrate on hockey now. Look out Ovi8," said Jagr, finishing his statement with a smiley face.

Ovechkin is just 14 goals back of tying Jagr for third on the all-time NHL goals list. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, The Great 8 should be able to claim that spot as his own before this season is done.

Jagr, who will be 50 in February, is still playing for Kladno, a team he owns in the Czech Extraliga. Despite being the oldest active player in the league, Jagr has seven goals and 17 points in 27 games this season. His latest Tweet sparked a debate over his exclusion so far from the Hockey Hall of Fame. Jagr will enter, but that won't happen until he retires from playing professional hockey. That's unless the Hall of Fame makes an exception for him, which many believe should have been done a while ago.
