Selanne

Temmu Selanne's strong play has presented me with a dilemma all series long. He was my favourite player as a kid, in fact I still remember where I was when he scored is record breaking goal as a rookie (parked at a gas station with the radio running but the car turned off) and when he was traded to the Ducks (again in a car, this time on the way to a hockey game in St. Boniface). I actually attended his last game as a Jet against the Vancouver Canucks.

Anyway, as I Flames fan I should by rights hate Selanne by now. He's by far been the strongest Anaheim forward this series and tonight he's given the Ducks a 1-0 lead in Game 7. But I just can't get mad at the guy. Heck I think he looks great with those teeth knocked out. Don't get me wrong I still desperately want the Flames to win this series but I can't get annoyed when Selanne does something good.
