Damn that's ****** awesome. I've always seen his interviews and stuff on tv and he's always seemed like a class act and now I got the proof. It's cool when someone famous like that is willing to do that. The end of the day he's no different then us. Can just skate and pass the puck better then 99.5% of us!!
I hope you've been a ducks fan ever since lol
Lifelong Ducks fan. Although I admit to being a Colorado Avalanche fan for a season and a San Jose Sharks fan for 1 or 2 seasons when Selanne played for those teams. More like a lifelong Selanne fan. He did an interview after signing a 2 year 2.1 million dollar contract with the Ducks the same year Jaromir Jagr signed an 8 year 7.1 million deal with the Penguins (I believe Selanne had more points than Jagr it was just behind him that year). The interviewer asked him why he didn’t hold out for more and he said 2.1 million dollars is a lot of money for doing what I love to do and the more I get paid the more of that cost gets passed on to the fans. Professional sports needs more people like that. I’m pretty sure I teared up when he played his last game.
That's awesome man and yeah now a days you see all these max contracts in sports and every year in the NFL a QB is getting paid more and more it's ridiculous. Like you seriously need 240 Million over 6 years.. I get you're good at what you do and you're a professional but it's a bit excessive.
Thats awesome though! I support Selanne even more now then I did before! He's a class act.
Hell yeah bro. This world needs more Selanne fans.
