Teemu Selanne number retirement is tonight

[BobDobolina]

Please don't make it too cheesy.

Just to check, the number being retired is 8, right?

He wore 8 for 14 seasons, and 13 for only 1 season, in Anaheim.

I'm hearing rumors the Jets are going to come out for warmups wearing vintage #13 jets jerseys.

if that were to actually happen, i might cry harder.

and then put my vintage Jets jersey on

There goes my hero...

Nice to have it against Winnipeg.

It is about Selane but not only him.

So I guess spending 15 of 21 seasons on one team isn't loyal. Plus he didn't decide to leave, he got traded. Guess taking major discounts so the ducks can ice a competitive team isn't loyal. Teemu is/was very loyal to the ducks organization and 100% deserves to have his number retired tonight.

Better not play that song tonight or else I will all game

Thanks for the memories, Teemu.

Of course the NHL felt that showing a second Chicago/Minnesota game this week was more important than Teemu getting his jersey retired.

Going to be an emotional night for sure.

Can't wait! Tissues are ready...

Hopefully Kariya is there.

Think I read somewhere that Kariya will indeed be joining him.

Think that's bad? Winnipeg has to hope the NFL game doesn't go longer then 7 CT because TSN likes to screw over things like that

Apparently he won't be attending due to prior family vacation plans.

Anyone feel like this is kind of a slap in the face to the Jets?

How so?

Congrats to him. Also, anyone whining about this really needs to just shut up.
