Teemu Selanne, Hall of Famer 

And you didn’t even mention anything about his sportsmanship and how he played the game and treated the community and people around him. The clips of his last NHL appearances just burst with warmth from his peers.

Selanne was one of my favourite players ever. Nice to see him go into the hall.

He had a knee surgery during the lockout wich saved his career and that injury was the reason he didnt succeed in Colorado cause he couldnt skate.

Teemu had a knee injury when he played in Colorado. He could hardly skate and that had negative impact on his game. During the lockout season Teemu had a knee surgery and he bounced back scoring two 90 + point seasons in a row and won the stanley cup with the Ducks.

Most points in the Olympic ice-hockey.

The closeness of Kariya and Selanne is well documented. What is less known is that Peter Forsberg and Selanne are also close. This is well known in Sweden and Finland. They have mutual admiration I suppose and Peter thinks highly of Paul Kariya too.

Altough Teemu has never been my favourite player, and I’m a Finn, Teemu certainly is withouth a doubt, one of the classiest guys ever to play the game.

I remember watching the game, the first time the Ducks go to Winnipeg after they'd gotten moved from Atlanta in 2011-12. Even though the Jets won the game 5-3, when they announced the three stars, it was, "The number three star, from the Anaheim Ducks, Teemu Selanne. The number two star, from the Anaheim Ducks, Teemu Selanne. And the number one star from the Anaheim Ducks, Teemu Selanne!"

Teemu's knee was getting bad in San Jose and he skated with one leg in Colorado. Then he got his knee operated during the lockout season and could skate again.

Karyia & Salanne are like Pippen & Jordan

The last years in Anaheim Teemu lost the top six forward spot on the roster, undeservedly... so which gave him an extra motivation to show to all of us in the Olympics (@Sotchi) that he still should´ve had much more icetime at NHL too...

Shame Kariya never got a cup

He really flourished in Anaheim I’m a Ducks fan so happy Ducks he came but I saw an interview with him and he was really sad. Teemu really loved it in Winnipeg but then he found one of his best line mates and friends Paul Kariya who sadly never won a cup they were a great duo

Plus the all-time leader in Olympic history in points with 1 Silver and 3 Bronze Medals as well!

Really feel bad Kariya and Teemu didn't get to do it together. I recommend you watch the film Sel8anne. Not a bad documentary film at all.

Selanne's career started from my all time favourite team Helsingin Jokerit :D Jari Kurri, Valtteri Filppula, Teuvo Teravainen and Kari Lehtonen too started there just to name a few... Jokerit will have always a special place in the heart of Legendary Finnish Flash

This is for Me / from Me - the 76th comment of Teemu ! 76 Goals to remember on His Rookie Year !

Awesome vid, Shannon. I was a huge Selanne fan. Classy to the core. Hope I get a chance to meet him someday and shake his hand.

Growing up as a Finn in Toronto with a very Finnish last name that was always horribly mispronounced, i always laughed when i heard kids back then say "Timo Salami". My dad's name is Timo so it kinda stuck and i started calling my Dad Timo Salami lol.

Bro your channel is amazing. I’m a budding hockey fan and I have learned more from you than any other source. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for this one, Teemu sure is Teemu :) still the best Teemu moments are from his last olympics, what a King he his!

People of the Comments section. I have a question do you think Kariya is worthy of being a HOF even though he never won a cup? I was fortunate enough to meet Selanne and get his autograph. I was at a Panthers vs Ducks game in Florida and I wore a Purple Kariya Mighty Ducks Jersey with 2003 cup finals patch. I was waiting in line to get some food and the man behind said "Paul Kariya ,that guy is awesome" I turn around and it is none other than Selanne. Teemu was wearing a black hoodie and jeans I kid you not. My face lit up when I saw him and I didn't believe it was him. Anyway I love Kariya and Selanne both deserve to be Hall of Famers.

The reason for the horrible year in Colorado was his knee. After that came the lockout year and he had a big surgery on it. He didn't play anywhere for the whole year and was able to come back and score 90 points. It wasn't about Colorado vs Anaheim but having a major surgery and taking a year off.

He's my favorite player of all time and that '07 Ducks squad was stacked!

Selanne was my fave player when he first came in w/Winnipeg!

I really like your channel. Greetings from finland

ONE OF MY IDOLS

The Anaheim years with Kariya and Rucchin are the sole reason I got into hockey.

Was it really five years since you were at 22000 subs? You've come along way and it's been fun watching your channel grow.

I saw him today at air Canada Centre legends game

Can you make a video discussing the best player of all time by franchise? Like that book has Selanne for the Ducks

Miikka?! You missed him sir. We request a video about him :) And Arthur Dayne pls, would love to see your analytic skills put to the test on that topic.

I remember going into that 03-04 year I thought they should just cancel the season and give the cup to Colorado. Forsberg, Sakic, Kariya, Selanne, Hejduk, Tanguay, Blake, Foote, Morris. That team was stacked despite Patty Roy retiring just before. I figured with a line of Teemu-Forsberg-Kariya you'd probably get 50 goals from both Kariya and Selanne and Forsberg could probably have about 130 pts with North of 100 assists. Even if Forsberg went down to injury you'd still have one of the all time best in Sakic centering them. I remember being utterly confused with the results of their season, especially Selanne's 32 points. It didn't make any sense to me.

You probably should do a video on the Jokerit at some point since their history is a rather interesting one.

Selanne was my favourite player as a teen. HATED the Ducks and was so pissed when he got traded (as was he initially, he LOVED living in Winnipeg and was loyal to the Jets). Rumours at the time was that he was only traded because the Winnipeg front office thought Arizona wasn't going to last a full season and thought Teemu deserved to be somewhere that wouldn't fold (Anaheim were new and popular due to the movies). Still can't stand seeing him in a Ducks jersey. When they beat Ottawa in 2007 I was mad that Ottawa lost, but very happy for Teemu. I guess it's my "vancouver vs boston" moment. (I had switched to Ottawa, rather than follow Jets to Arizona)

Really cool video!

Teemu

Got my THG tshirt! Love the logo on the front.

People need to understand that the year in Colorado was a bust because Teemu's knee was busted. It got fixed when lockout happened and oops lol ..low and behold. Points.

Good video! He kind of isn't appreciated as he should. He was a remarkable player. Greetings from Finland!

Always been proud of my Finnish half side.

Selanne is the greatest finnish player of all time.No one gets close.How ever 15 years from now barkov will propably be not only the best finnish player of all time but very likely be remembered as the best defensive forward the game has ever seen.I truly think he will surpass datsyuk as the greatest 2 way forward of his generation,maybe the best 2 way forward to ever play the game.

Selanne was horribly injured, he got his knees rebuilt after avalanche ?

Can you make a video about Paul Kariya too, please?

The ducks did sign for the beginning of the 1999-2000 season, they signed German Titov

Yeah yeah good player whatever, can we address the size of the chairs in the arena from that thumbnail? I did not know it used to be comfortable in those arenas 🤯

The Finnish Flash

Jeremy Roenick needs to be in the hall

he would've had 1700 points if he didn't miss so many games

no volume in the video?

Colorados coach didnt like Teemu, Teemu has said that even tho he had in 3rd line couple 2 points games in a row, he would still drop to 4th line

Rip Ruslan salei killed in the 2011 yaroslavl lokomotiv plane crash

You are first north american who can pronounce Teemu correctly. Nobody can pronounce Selänne.

16:11 eventhough was older and slower.... not really he had his wheels back after the lockout cos of knee surgery.

The Ducks made the second round of 1996-1997 season by defeating Phoenix in game 7.

If Selanne had stayed in Winnipeg do they still move to Phoenix/Arizona?

Finnish flash!

Salami! Yummy

Did he have his knee surgery before the lockout?

I'm sure this Winnipeg Jets team will have learned a lesson from the former Jets organization with giving up Teemu, and make sure they keep Laine for a long time.

How Many Finland born Players - Have Won The Calder ? Just asking !

next Anaheim needs to retire #9 then 27 and 35!

I though it was pronounced tee-moo not tay-moo

Who votes "👎" ? 😈

His legacy was ruined for me when I saw the clip of him playing golf with Tr*mp, sucking up to him telling him what an awesome golfer he is.
