Blast From the Past: Teemu Selanne

“Domi flips it high… Selanne goes after it! Teemu Selanne breaks in, he scores!”

Listen closely to fuzzy replays of that goal from March 2, 1993, and you just might hear the sound of gunshots. Winnipeg Jets phenom Teemu Selanne burns past two paralyzed Quebec Nordiques defencemen, flips a loose puck over a lunging Stephane Fiset and pick, pack, pock; three distinct cracks ring out to suit the equally thunderous occasion. After all, Selanne just netted his 54th goal to surpass Mike Bossy’s previous rookie goal-scoring record. So ‘The Finnish Flash’ flung his right glove to the rafters, swung his stick up like a shotgun, and pumped away in triumph. It was an electric reaction to an electric achievement during the electric debut of the greatest Finn to ever lace a pair of skates.

Blast From the Past: Mario Lemieux

Mario Lemieux, “the magnificent one”, quite possibly the most gifted player to ever play the game.

Lemieux left an ever-lasting impression on the game with his incredible offensive skills that won’t be forgotten. Let’s queue up another Blast From the Past and look at the great career of number 66 Mario Lemieux.

Let’s take a closer look at one of the leagues’ most interesting and intriguing characters, Dominik Hasek.

Pandemic Shouldn’t Hide Bjork’s Underrated Season

Over the years, Anders Bjork has become a well-known name to Bruins fans. The young forward has had high expectations since entering the Bruins system but been held back by injuries. Last season the Notre Dame product had three points in 20 games before a shoulder injury ended his season. During the 2019-2020 campaign, however, Bjork has started to live up to expectations.

Blast From The Past: Valeri Kamensky

Valeri Kamensky has a very full and fascinating Ice Hockey story. Born and bred in the town of Voskresensk Russia. Its a town in which a number of former NHL players were born, including Igor Larionov, Vyacheslav Kozlov, and Andrei Markov. Known as one of the more dynamic players during his generation, he was a fluid skater along with being an adept passer and skills man. Kamensky’s infamous mid-air spinning goal on John Vanbiesbrouck, would, in fact, be added as the intro to the EA video game NHL 98.
