As explosive as he was as a rookie I feel like that got lost a bit over time and that was also a long time ago now where a lot of people didn’t see it. While he gets remembered as a good skater, I don’t think his speed is usually talked about like when Bure gets brought up, or McDavid

Is rookie season was so amazing, scoring for me.

well..... 684 goals speaks for itself

He should have had 700 if it weren’t for Martin Erat’s elbow

I guess I kinda misread the title. Selanne is known for his scoring, but I feel like that really came about because he was a master at using his speed to his advantage, not because he had an extremely lethal shot.

Both I think is the right answer!

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Both when he was younger.

Early on it was his skating.

I saw him score a hat-trick against Ottawa live and they would just lob pucks down the ice for him to race for.

As he aged, more emphasis was put on his scoring IMO.

For his time in Anaheim where he absolutly kicked ass with Kariya
