We tweeted this out yesterday. As we said, the Google Translate is rough, but the evidence below should let you know it’s wildly entertaining. Again, we humbly request a Finnish translator to make sense of this. (Or at least explain why young witches need to study)

JAGRWATCH: Day ?? – Nothing to see here. There is no news about Jaromir Jagr.
