Was Teemu Selanne more known for his speed or scoring?

[Run the Gauntlet]

I remember him more for scoring than speed.

Except in Finland.

Do the people in Finland not like him? I thought he was beloved?

Do the people in Finland not like him? I thought he was beloved?

He is. Woke people don't like the fact he supports Republicans.

 

[I am not exposed]

Scorer. No doubt about it.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Scoring of course.


How about when he sucked ass with Colorado.

At one point I became a fan of Koivu, and than Kovalev, and a bit later, of a young goaltender was picked at #5 instead of Gilbert Brulé

I saw Selänne live in late 1998 and he was really fast. But that season he had taken a backseat goal-scoring wise (or perhaps more accurately, shot opportunity wise) to his line-mate Kariya, who immediately post-Suter liked to hang around the high slot and just fire tons of mid-distance shots. He had 429 shots that season, 86 more than the 2nd best player (Jagr), but Selänne still led the league in goals.

Lopsided result.
