Episode 279: “The Finnish Flash” - Teemu Selänne
Episode 279 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we’re back on the ice discussing Teemu Selänne.
“The Finnish Flash” was a star in his native Finland before he joined the NHL in 1992-1993. Though selected 10th overall in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft, the Right Winger’s skill, speed and grace were worth the wait for the Winnipeg Jets.
Teemu set all-time records for goals and points in a season as a rookie and helped the Jets to the postseason. Though he remained a star in Winnipeg, a trade to Anaheim paired him with fellow star Paul Kariya helped Selänne reach new heights.
Though injuries and stints in San Jose & Colorado almost derailed the prime of his career, “The Finnish Flash” enjoyed a second act in Anaheim which proved to be quite fruitful. In addition to being named one of the NHL’s “100 Greatest Players,” Teemu helped the Ducks capture the franchise’s first Stanley Cup title after the 2006-2007 season, and he remained a scoring threat until his retirement after the 2013-2014 campaign.
In addition to his NHL success, Selänne shined on the international stage for his native Finland. He helped his country win a silver medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics and bronze in 1998, 2010 and 2014.
Teemu played in 10 NHL All-Star Games, won the 1992-1993 Calder Memorial Trophy (ROY), won the Masterson Trophy 2005-2006 (Dedication & Perseverance), won a Stanley Cup in 2006-2007 and still holds the record for most points recorded in Olympic competition.
Overall, the 2017 Hockey Hall of Famer recorded 684 goals, 773 assists and 1,457 points. All of which are records for Finnish-born players.

    Aaron Brooks is admittedly one of my guilty pleasures. As a player he essentially defined the Jim Haslett era. He had a lot of quality numbers comparable to the other good QBs of that time, but seemed to have a knack for making some absolutely doofy plays. The backwards pass against the Chargers in 2004 comes to mind. At any rate, he also threw a nice spiral, and could really throw a rocket into a keyhole. I'm still mystified that he never really got a shot after his short stint with the Raiders, and was out of the league by 31 years old. That entire 2005 season nuked the Saints, and if the Hurricane Katrina tragedy doesn't happen, I don't think they go 3-13. At least he'll always have that 2000 WC win against the defending SB champs. Would love to hear your thoughts on some other QBs of this era that aren't going down as HOF, but had solid careers. Like Jake Delhomme (just had a great spotlight on the NFL Players Second Acts Podcast), Jake Plummer, Trent Green, Chad Pennington, or Marc Bulger. Many thanks. Cheers.

Brooks was electric during his prime but the lack of playoff berths from 2001-2004 compounded with the Payton & Brees era in the immediate aftermath almost have him forgotten outside the Saints’ fanbase. Which is a darn shame cause him, Joe Horn and Deuce McAllister were fantastic players. Love your QB suggestions as well. Definitely will be turning some of them into future episodes. Pennington as the comeback kid & only QB to win AFC East titles during Brady’s prime, Delhomme for his stint in NFL Europe and piloting some of those almost but not quite Panthers teams in the 00s, Green for his rise in Washington, the injury that gave Warner a chance in St. Louis and some damn fine years with the Chiefs, Bulger for giving the last gasps to “The Greatest Show on Turf” and Plummer for his career at ASU, Bill Walsh wanting to take him in 1997 and opting for the VA Tech bust instead, leading the Cards to the postseason, a solid second act in Denver and the fallout of the Jay Cutler pick & his abrupt retirement as well.

    Hasselbeck was probably the last QB to really carry on the torch of that Walsh pure WCO that was being run via Mike Holmgren. Pretty under center most of the time, and played very well in that system. Arguably the consistently best QB in the NFC from 2003 to 2007.

    YYYYYYEEESSSSSSSSS. Awesome spotlight on one of my favorite quarterbacks of the 90's. The Steve Young of the AFC in a way (although not as a great). That run from 1996 to 1999 was an awesome time for the Jaguars. Loved watching them, and was hoping they could go the distance one of those years. I think he should have retired after his time with the Redskins. Kind of sucked to see him pushing 40 as a backup on the Saints, and Jets. I remember hearing about him going bankrupt, but didn't know it was that bad. Sounds like he really got mixed up with the wrong folks. You did a good job on this one. Can't wait for you to get to Aaron Brooks who also backed up Favre lol. That will be a crazee one. Much love you guys. Cheers. BTW would love it if you indeed did an episode on Jimmy Smith. Honestly think he should be in the HOF.

    Hey great spotlight on McNabb. Definitely one of the best quarterbacks of 2000's, and the best in Eagles history. I know he flamed out at the end, and his relationship with Eagles fans seemed to sour along with his play. However McNabb in his 20's was just pretty remarkable with what he could do on the field. It's a shame that Reid couldn't really find a few quality receivers to help out those early 2000's squads. That was essentially the only thing the team was missing. And of course then Owens came along, and well yeah that quickly became nightmare fuel. Just like I said with McNair, a guy like McNabb now would dominate in this open offensive era. Any team drafting a QB wins their draft if they can find a McNabb. It's nutty how times have changed where a bunch of Eagles fans were upset at their franchise taking a runningback number 2 overall over a QB.

    Hey thanks for getting to this episode. I enjoyed the entire talk, and you pretty much summed up his career perfectly. Steve's career trajectory really was a strange even now I would say. But especially in the 90's, and how he got drafted. While he had a fabulous career, I do think it's a shame he didn't get a more open minded coordinator until Mike Heimerdinger came along in 2000. It was apparent he could really pass the ball if he was put in a more aerial-focused offense. Imagine McNair now in today's age with support like the 49ers or Chiefs.

And I guess I never thought about it, but Craig arguably should have been league MVP that 1988 season since you're right it was his epic rushing campaign that kept the 49ers offense afloat when it was in such disarray through the pass game most of the year. I'd definitely love to hear you dove a commentary on the 1983 NFC Championship game. Dave Volsky recently released a very nice 1080p rendition of the NFL's Greatest Games version of that game on his channel. Worth a look.

I'm a 49ers fan, and the Saints when their defense got in gear under Jim Mora gave Walsh, and Montana a lot of problems. I'd go as far as saying the defense was championship-level, but their offense was so up, and down it made it hard for the Saints to ever get to a Super Bowl.

    Gretzky was protected, both by the league & some of his teams: the league had a no touch Gretzky policy"..... the bottom line is that Gretzky was the golden boy" & he was made to order".....

    Hey thanks for doing this!!!! Didn't see it in my notifications recently, so glad I stumbled upon it. And I'm glad you took my suggestion to heart for a video. '93 Oilers are really one of the most fascinating stories in NFL history to me. It's crazy that Warren Moon, and all of those Run N' Shoot Oiler teams never even made an AFC title game appearance despite 7 straight playoff teams stacked with talent consistently. What's more crazy is Bud Adams just basically killing the team after they didn't make it in '93. But you're right about the salary cap being on the horizon the following season. I had forgotten about that omen. Sucks that the Oilers aren't in the NFL anymore. Great logo, and great uniforms.

    She beat Court at age 15 7-6,7-6 just after Court won all 4 slam events that year in 1970.

    Very fair analysis of Bobby's career. Excellent in fact. Bobby was one of my favorites.

    Hey guys thanks for doing this spotlight on Mike Shanahan. Awesome coach. Proud 49ers fan here, and when Mike went to San Francisco, it was the best stretch of Steve Young's HOF career. Remarkable what he was able to do with that offense, and I loved his days with the Broncos usually having a competitive squad every year. Great players, and great coaching staffs. His son Kyle becoming the HC of the 49ers was a fleeting fantasy for me until it became an incredible reality that I'm loving. Anyway, great chat.

    If Duncan went to the Magic, they win at least three or four in a row depending on how his supporting cast holds out.

    Also, another tidbit that you may not know: In 2018, Elway wanted to bring Shanny back, and sign Kirk Cousins. However, Mike Shanahan hater Joe Ellis told Elway to conduct a coaching search first, and he decided to bring back Vance Joseph for another year (Bowlen should have sold the team before giving Ellis power. According to the late Les Shapiro, Joe was the one who hired McDaniels. He didn't like the control that Shanny had, so he hired someone that he thought he could control).
