Teemu Selänne- Stanley Cup Finals, Game 5 postgame interview

[raran44]

Congratulations Teemu. It was a long time coming, but you got a Stanley Cup. Some players play their whole career and don't get anywhere near it.

[TheCagedTiger]

It's too bad Paul Kariya wasn't there with him

[jetshull]

teemu has to come back to winnipeg..............full circle, then can he call it a career, not to many players can say that, if he comes to wpg, WOW, that would be the most incredible career ever.

[ScarTroy]

How can anyone dislike Teemu? Such a great guy and his passion really shows.

[AngelsBaseballHalo77]

Lets hope we can win one again in the next 3 years so he really can Retire On Top

Go DUCKS

[Nosey10]

Why does he not have the "C" on his jersey?

[juuttuuppi]

@Nosey10 Uhmmm ... because Scott Niedermayer was the captain?

[893160007]

I'm a Sens fan, but Teemu is awesome

[emmers57]

I was almost as happy for Teemu as I was for Ray Bourque.

[themarcus795]

So stoked i saw that final game in person

[stewardo]

"Is this the end?"

He's signed through 2012! Woo hoo!

[crazyerko]

Rest in Peace Lokomotiv Jaroslav :(

[Snipefest23]

even if you hate the ducks, selanne is one of the greatest players in nhl history and a class act. amazing career. glad to watch him day by day in anaheim for the past 12 years.

[starkiller998877]

Some people are just destined to win it... Even after many years, they can't retire without it. Ray Borque, Teemu Selänne, or most recently Tim Thomas. All of them won the Stanley cup being older than 35.

[yankeesnrangers29]

I hope teemu never retires

[SidneyCrosbyfan8727]

awwww this vid made me in tearsss they deserved to win:)

[Jasonishawtz]

I was at that game Alot of money for those tickets.

[rageahollic33]

as a kings fan I was glad the ducks won the cup

[MegaBlitz25]

i <3 you teemu, you fucking deserve to hoist that cup every single year you play this awesome sport!!

[LifeIsPeachee]

Teemu is the definitiion of class and a franchise player. He's everything you want in someone representing your team. We're so lucky to have had him back while winning the stanley cup, it made it mean so much more to Ducks fans. Really a shame Kariya couldn't be there for it too, although he came pretty damn close in '03.

[godzirraza]

Stuff like this makes me want to cry. Seeing guy's as tough, as ruthless as some of these hockey players to see them break down after such a long season's grind really shows you the beauty in life.

[bradley2240]

without injuries...by far couldve been up there with lemieux and gretzky, still amazing. Fuckin finnish flash. Anyone smell a return to the Jets as a final sendoff? hahaha

[kiker0909]

@bradley2240

If him and Kariya never left the Ducks you could guarantee that they would be up there.

[rilesrox]

As a Sharks fan, I hate the Ducks. Cant stand 'em. But I have to admit I love watching Teemu play and I can't help but love that the guy won a championship. Have nothing but respect for him as a player and how emotional he is over losses and victories.

[pistolpete0500]

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. An old rugged hockey player, whose been through it all. Wins the cup, and is so happy that he can't help but cry. I want to be that happy someday.

[guacamolechief39]

When I saw this on T.V. I cried and it was good to see my hero finally achieve his goal of winning hockeys ultimate prize.

[4never93]

teemu has always been very emotional when it comes to winning or losing. my biggest memory from 2006 olympics was when old guys like teemu and teppo numminen cried in the interviews after finland lost to sweden in finals.

[Teddyhetto]

@4never93 That was a great game! unbelieveble that the finns couldnt get it in the last 5 minutes. it was 5 minutes against Lundqvist...

[KingsFanSince95]

holy fuck i though selanne was making out with his mom at first lol haha

[Snipefest23]

@KingsFanSince95 holy fuck, the kings havent won a cup in 47 years.

[Jasonishawtz]

@Snipefest23 Kings never won a cup

[greasykanadian]

i like how pierre puts his cup ring in the shot

[baronvg]

@greasykanadian Hahahaha! I don't think these old players can't help it. It always happens like that. I'm sure their excuse is that they're wearing it for the occasion. Uh huh.

[orangeblitz47]

I still get tears of joy when ever I see this. I'm so glad Selanne and the Ducks won the cup.

[Britex123]

yeah the only person missing in this is kariya.. feel bad for him not winning it with Anaheim

[AnttiFantti3]

@Britex123 truly right, he and selänne was great pair

[aceoangels]

TEEEMUUUU! you da man :) go Ducks

[Mauro1897]

I've got trash in my eyes..

[baiteme]

wished Paul kariya was on this team when they won the cup

[ReverendSubZero]

Hate the Ducks. Love Teemu.

[gupsphoo]

Teemu, you're my hero forever!!!!!

[RockoSDMF]

Never been a fan of any team Teemu has been on, but have always been a fan of him. Was very happy to see him finally win a Cup.

[ruty143sh]

What's the song in the background?

[baronvg]

@ruty143sh Boston - More Than a Feeling

[mlc871]

He wasn't crying because he won the cup, he was crying because Pierre McGuire put his arm around him.

[HassBoss100]

@mlc871 hahah lol i hate Pierre McGuire, especially seeing him in that lil ass box when NBC hosts the Stanley Cup finals.

[LocoGroove]

It's more than a feeling.

[Rowain]

Man this video kills me, fuck the douchebags who rant about how Europeans don't give a shit about winning in the NHL, you just have to see this video to see the man's passion for the sport and the Cup and what it represents.

[LocoGroove]

@Rowain Exactly. And that's exactly why I hate Don Cherry more than any other sports personality.

[meds613]

@Rowain teemu is a different beast all together

[kanervatie]

@Rowain I don't know where have you heard this, but every, I mean EVERY hockey player canadien/european dreams about winning the cup. It's the biggest thing anyone can win and there is nothing you can compare it to.

[Rowain]

@kanervatie It's mostly Canadian pundits like Don Cherry who make snide comments like this. I'm Canadian myself and it annoys me that *some* of our broadcasters and commentators have this pervasive opinion that only Canadians TRULY understand and love hockey. It's an opinion that only hurts the sport

[littlewewe5]

@Rowain you are amazing.

[phille22]

I'm glad Selänne has won the cup. Good for him, great player, great person. He deserves it, and that is coming from a swede. I'm sad Sundin never got it.

[44dangle44]

Selanne is amazing.

[theparsa88]

@Taaters Big respect from Finland

[carmie1818]

You will have to look long and hard to find pro athletes like Teemu in other major sports.....pure class.

[nocontrol06]

@carmie1818 ya selanne is up there with roger federer

[carmie1818]

@nocontrol06 Yeah...Federer seems like a true gentleman...good call.

[BabbarKhalsaZindabad]

Why Is Pierre rocking his Stanley cup rings

[buckyhermit]

LOL at Eetu (Teemu's son) trying to get on TV at 0:10.

[adamenti]

what a guy

[haroof]

This is the best moment EVER if you're a Ducks fan.

No one deserved to win the Stanley Cup more than this guy. He worked his ass off his entire career for that moment.

[GoAvalanche09]

So glad to see Teemu finally win the cup, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy and a skilled player. 76 goals his rookie season - NHL record!

[Pontejojken]

Go ducks, Go legend Selänne!

[iCoReYx]

the only bad part about this is McGuire

[DrumFrenzy123]

Pierre! You creepy som bitch!

[bhsdhmu]

One of the reasons that nhl is so great that it produces guys like teemu, long live the flash

[Faggero]

Even I start yo cry when I watch this. :'( =)

[bhsdhmu]

@Faggero me too :p

[bokxybabee]

even tho sports are just a way of pushing others out of the way to put yourself over others, its still nice to see the beautiful moments come together for an individual , a team, a family. this is a great hockey moment and it warms my heart

thanks Teemu!

[tbwj21]

@bokxybabee

Sounds like your mind isn't quite intelligent enough to comprehend what sports are.... Sports are another form of competitive experience, which is what life as a whole is about. Look at how animals eat each other, or fight. How humans fight wars, debate, compete in sports, compete in politics, compete in economics... Much of life in this universe is competition, and sports are pure 'clean' competition. Truly something we should be very happy to get to experience.

[bokxybabee]

@tbwj21 douchey outlook on life, pretty sad

[opatgabriela9]

@bokxybabee i know you are

[amirghorbani]

i felt the emotion hes going through....im glad he got his chance to hoist the cup.....

he got lucky unlike many other great who never held a cup....JR, Sundin and the list goes on

[jaipaul68]

he definaly derserved it and im a red wings fan

[jwillborg]

Really well deserved, a true NHL legend, and this is from a swede who has seen Selänne score way too many times on both Detroit and Sweden. :)

[barkleysound]

he deserves an olympic gold too!!

[44dangle44]

This guy is by far the most amazing player ever.

[jaywbe]

beautiful guy

[diamolo]

im so glad that selänne got the stanley cup because this kind of hockey player stanley is only big thing he ever won he wast there when our little finland won world championchip and finland newer won olympics.

great that he got even 1 big gold. nhl:s best player of all time number 17:)

[Zenkka]

600!

[Bigbrando99]

legend!! its more than a feeling

[guitoheor]

o crap sorry i accidentaly put a negative on kickeen instead of a positive anyway lets go ducks

[Kickeeen]

There's only one word that can describe Selänne - legend.

[jormis95]

its sirpa not serpa

[jjjhs08]

teemu was always my favorite nhl players since i was a kid....its really too bad he suffered so many injuries, he could have been the best goal scorer ever....76 goals and 132 points his rookie year? incredible....YOUR THE MAN TEEMU! we love u in new york....

[amirtoma]

good for you teemu very well deserved.

[Pohjoiskarjalainen]

"Thank God it all worked out".

[bfsab61]

this guys a god

[JBthree24]

The Stanley Cup: the winner and runner up cry. I love this game.

GO DEVILS!

[Oirias21]

Se ei nyt riitä. Käsillä olevassa metsäteollisuuden murroksessa tulisi edelleen investoida uuteen ja hyödyntää niitä vahvuuksia, joita nimenomaan Suomella on mekaanisen puunjalostuksen kasvun perustaksi.

[SargeTheDuck]

"it was actually pretty heavy" god i love this guy!

[LocoGroove]

I cried when I saw this interview. Teemu deserved the Stanley Cup!

And it's awesome that he continues!

We love you, Teemu!

You're the Duck! ;D

[nysportsfan78]

I was so glad that Selanne finally has a Stanley Cup championship in his career and felt his emotions. It would suck if he retired without winning a Cup.

[Sithlord703]

@nysportsfan78 Thats possibly Iginla's case

[wunjin]

Too bad Bourque had to be a bitch about it and win it with Colorado.

[subfusc8]

They have God in Scandinavia?

[Etukumi]

(Finland isn't Scandinavia.)

Yes, the majority of people here in Northern Europe are Christians. However, using the expression "thank God" doesn't reveal anything about religious belief. I'm an atheist and I still use the words "God" and "Jesus" in figurative speech every now and then.

If he really thanks an Arabic fairytale character for a Stanley Cup win, he really needs to start giving credit to his family, his teammates and himself :D

[pyllywaltteri]

WTF.. Finland is in scandinavia

[Etukumi]

No it isn't, although even us Finns sometimes use the term incorrectly. Geographical Scandinavia = the area of the Scandic mountains (Sweden, Norway), cultural Scandinavia = Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland (the places where the majority of people speak a Northern Germanic language). If you for some reason want to categorize Finland with the Scandinavian nations, use the term "Nordic countries".

[pyllywaltteri]

So are we some goddamn slavs?

[Etukumi]

No. If we want to be an ethnic category, we're Finno-Ugric, along with Estonians, Hungarians and some smaller groups. Try "Finno-Ugric people" on Wikipedia.

[borkborkborkonurmom]

Arabic fairytale character

Dude why go there? Your an atheist whatever but thats just offensive.

Glad Teemu won though, he deserved it

[2008IQ]

Yeah, seeing grown men crying is not good for any of us! Damn.

[linkin32]

nothing beats when ray bourque finally got to raise the cup

[bruceleedisciple]

The Ducks are my team, and Teemu is the best, but I agree. No other cup lifter is sweeter than Bourque's.

[jjjhs08]

yeah, this does, cause selanne was better...

[DeAnO94]

i love how everyone was like ohhh ottawas gonna dominate..

they got fuckin dominated by the ducks ive never seen a team in the stanley cup finals get out worked in every aspect of hockey

[JBthree24]

i'm a die hard devils fan and i almost got emotional seeing this. so many great players on that team especially scotty neidss. teemu deservred the cup
