    When I was a kid, I was a Kariya fan, through and through. I had all his hockey cards. So in the minor league, I wore number 9. When I played street hockey, I WAS Kariya. My best friend at the time chose Selanne, so we could “be on the same team”, against the neighbors. One year, we even got picked on the same minor league team. I proudly wore my number 9. He proudly wore his number 8. I looked up to him. He has a great vision and was an amazing playmaker. 23 years later, that best friend is still my best friend. And I still look up to him. As a friend. As a great person. As an amazing father.
    In his acceptance speech, Teemu says a few times “like Paul said” and I do that with my best friend too. I will quote him, whether he is there or not. I think it shows how deep the bond is. Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne were one of the best duos this League has ever had and being inducted together certainly proves that. Selanne will always have my utmost respect, and I will always be a Kariya fan. And I still have all his hockey cards.

I do have a box of completely random hockey cards from the 80s and 90s including a "signed" Rob Blake card. Don't know if it's legit or not hahaha

The years with the Ducks were amazing. Kariya! Rucchin! The 2007 Stanley Cup was the first and only I experienced as a fan. Teemu was the best. Not only an amazing hockey player, but a real gentleman. Love you Teemu. PS. I have decided to give Winnipeg a second chance with the new team.

    No one will ever score 76 or more as a rookie. In 1992-1993 you could (barely) do that, but he was the one that actually did it out of all. Not even 99 or 66. It takes almost a goal every single game. No ones braking it.
