Thats just a polite thing to say, noone in their right mind would even consider Selänne being top-10 amongst forwards.


More like top-50.


On a good day.

And LA Kings coach needs to be extremely polite on commenting a ducks player...for what reason exactly?

I 'd say he is in the top 15 maybe. Just above Näslund's etc.

Duck fans are not surprised by Selanne's excellent play so far for Finland. He has been everything and more for the Ducks. Good for him!!!

Nagano 98.

I still have that match on VHS, do you?

Do you have the last World Cup final game too?

 

[Canuck21t]

close?

Let's get serious. Canada held an impregnable 1-0 lead, then 2-0 and we qucikly pulled it back to 2-1. Then they got serious again.
We had control of the puck, but we never got out of the corners. We didn't have a single decent scoring chance.
And we lost like 99/100 faceoffs in the third period to Sakic. Every faceoff Canada won, took us a minute to gain control of the puck, then we went into the corners.. then there was a stoppage. Repeat.

That wasn't close. It was like trying to score against Italy once they lead 1-0 in a soccer game and there's 20 minutes left. Catenaccio you to death. Take the Brazil-Italy final of 1994. Brazil has "imaginary" control, they attack and get stopped by the best defensive line ever to grace a grass patch. Repeat ad nauseum.

Canada 2-1 Finland 2002, was not close. It looked close, but it was not. Had we had a few real chances, it could be described as close. But we didn't and it wasn't.

Wow, you have a good memory. All I can remember about that game was that at no moment did I worry about Canada. Selanne as always was on fire for Finland but in general, I never felt threaten.

What's strange is that I saw the match from like 4am to 7am after having stayed up all night at a bar.. I don't think I would've been in driving condition until like 4pm..

I first want to see Selänne perform against something else than blueberry teams before I say anything about him.

That's fair enough. I also want to see Foppa play against any
team before I can say my opinion whether he's good or not.

That didnt make any sense.. did anyone say Foppa is on fire?

Don't pay any attention to this guy. I think his past posts show that he's extremely biased against Finnish players. This is the same guy who claimed Kronwall is better than Pitkänen I think Selänne's play for the Ducks this season and in this tournament speaks for itself.

Chill out, it was a joke

Selanne has scored 4 goals in two games.
Blueberry-teams or not, but four goals
of 9 shots is pretty much on fire.

Plus I want to see Foppa in these games.
It should be the best of the best.

Yeah and that shot of Selänne, on the 6-0 goal....wow. It would not have mattered who was in goal for that one.

Actuallly I find Starshollow's posts pretty funny.
