Not a fan of Teemu leaving the prestigious NHL '94 Club.

:'(

Can you imagine how Not Shit the Mighty Ducks would've been if he was on their roster?

It's been a while since I fired it up. I recall the Ducks being the worst overall in the game, with the only saving grace was getting to play "as that team from the movie."

 

[Acid08]

By far the best moment was watching him lift that Cup. Teemu getting Dat Hardware was like a watershed in my life, because I had been watching the Ducks struggle to reach the big time since 1993.

It's too bad Kariya wasn't there.

Kariya never winning a Cup is such a travesty.

My favourite Teemu moment is the shotgun goal celebration. That was him yea?

 

[Samyy]

I really want the Leafs to draft Mitch Marner but it seems like he is going to go #3 now

I was 12 when I got to see Teemu for the first time at my first NHL game in Winnipeg. I was instantly a fan. Few people in the NHL have ever been as loved or respected. It's all entirely deserved.

I was... 14 turning 15 at the beginning of his rookie year. It was such an exciting time to be a hockey fan and especially a Jets fan. I have never had anything negative to say about Teemu Selanne. He always held himself so well with us fans here and in Anaheim. His rookie year is the stuff of legend. That first year with him... Just absolutely nothing else like it when it comes to Hockey for us here.

It sucked the following year that he (ironically) injured his Achilles Tendon in Anaheim of all places.

Honestly, when he was traded to the Ducks (Worst trade ever), they may as well have packed the team up at that point to Phoenix. It was arguably just as bad as when the team left a year or so later...

I'm so happy that he was able to play in front of fans that appreciated him just as much as we did, and that he had such a stellar career. He's nearly the perfect hockey player in my eyes. When he broke that record in March of 1993 against the Nordiques... (That's Dallas Eakins that he hugs, after the goal, btw. for some random trivia.)

Our best forward was Terry Yake. Not exactly Roenick, Jagr, Hull, Gretzky or LeMario.

And Guy Hebert was rated 45. What a jip.

27 Steven King 47

Glad he was on our roster. He could scare the team to death with short stories.

Guy Hebert was totally at least a 78. I'd even have him in the mid 80's. The only position we weren't outclassed in during that time

They're just sick of applauding him every time he's on the Fox Sports panel.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Is Jean-Sebastien there?

Yup and Marchant plus more.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Of course Teemu hi-5s the fans as he walks in.

Of course he bloody does <333

 

[MetatronM]

You Ducks sure know how to throw a party.

 

[Cake Boss]

Oh good, NHLN has the Teemu ceremony.

While you guys are retiring Teemu, can you also do Philips as well?

He scored a goal for you guys in 2007 finals.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

You Ducks sure know how to throw a party.

Basically we got the Leafs ceremonies and added Dubstep and lasers.

Ah looks like TSN is showing the ceremony. Just getting delayed and/or truncated because of the NFL game.

[Dastardly Jerks]

The game doesn't start for another 55 minutes.

So, you're kind of right :lol
