i absolutely adore teemu selanne and every single thing to do with his career, skills, and quirks.
having just scoured the vaults of hitthepost history, i am surprised that i never documented one of my alltime favorite hockey moments: when me and my boy strombo were realtime texting about how emotional we were when teemu finally hoisted the prize back in 07 (a win i reveled in ONLY because of the legendary finn).
how awesome is it that teemu was a schoolteacher in his pre-nhl years ? how incredible that he once got a $40,200.00 speeding ticket ? that he played for the winnipeg jets ? that he scored 76 goals in his rookie year and went duck hunting when he broke mike bossy's record at #54 ?!? that he races cars in the offseason (and that he races under the pseudonym teukka salama which "loosely translates as tommy lightning" ---from wikipedia ) ??!!!?
also ? i wouldn't even say he's good looking. i'd suggest he's truly handsome. ;)
anyhow, teemu is a fucking legend. full stop, without a doubt. and i love the guy. except here's the hitch: he's effin' FORTY ----more than halfway to 41----, and he's still pretty much singlehandedly sinking my team's chances at the 10/11 playoffs.
which deserves a big ol' middle finger, if you ask me... hopefully he gets this note and bows out gracefully tonight cause the flambés need this one in the win column in a crazy big way....
(watch getzlaf/perry get eighteen goals tonight now)
;)

What an asshole that guy is. Seriously.
Yeah, fuck you Teemu.
Even still, if the Flames were serious about winning tonight they would have sent me a ticket. Was this decision made by ownership, management, coaching, or players? I'm calling Eric Francis.
I hate hockey.
And Mike, you failed.
I've failed many times, but still... so harsh. I prefer to think of it this way:
The Flames suck so bad that even my best good luck efforts aren't enough to turn the tide.
