There’s a few sheets, he put them in front of him at the start of the speech. He’s very good though. Not looking much.

Teemu and Paul will forever be loved in Anaheim.

It was only fitting that two living legends would be inducted in the same day as one of the best duos of all time.

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 was an original Winnipeg Jet fan since the beginning in the WHA. I was so pissed when they traded Teemu that I dumped the Jets and started cheering for Anaheim. 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.

I used to check the NHL points statistics and for so many years two Ducks were there in the top 10 in both scoring and points: Selänne and Kariya. I grew to know these guys played together, progressed together and succeeded together🎉

The first NHL I saw in person was an exhibition game that Kariya and Selanne played. The.two of them skated so fast, they made everyone else look like they were standing still.

2 words here. Thank you!!! Sweet 😊❤️ God bless you from Marie in Buena Park CA USA you will always be loved by us all and hope to All who play the game of hockey sir 👍😊

Its funny many consider Teemu the best Duck of all-time but without Kariya Obviously woulda been a great player but Kariya made him even better, so id say both the best Ducks.

SISU . . . driving FORCE behind any FINN kid with a Dream. Esp Teemu Selanne, no exception in him, Congrats Teemu.

Mr.Selänne is a Finnish icon.

you are the flying duck !!!! we love you, thank you

What a beauty

Met him in 1992 his rookie season they were staying at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame wow that's when they were playing at the Cow Palace

One of the great🌹🌹🌹

Teemu erinomainen pelaaja. Hieno ihminen.

I want to thank Teemu for acknowledging Swedish Jets legend Thomas Steen. His son Alex Steen is assistant captain with the Blues of course.

"Thank you"

Respect to you Teemu Selänne! with

When I was 12 my most popular players were Teemu and Paul.My team was the Mighty Ducks.Now I still follow NHL but I don't see anybody so great there as those 2 guys were tegether!!!

Growing up watching Duos play was amazing. Kariya Selanne sakic Forsberg Lafontaine and mogilny yzerman fedorov

Damn. Teemu have a good sense of humor. I've never liked him as a player, I don't know why.. but he is unbelieveble as a person. He desereved this - to be in the HHoF

What a legend. Heard he gets after it hard w the partying and ladies back in his playing days

Teemu!!!! damn legend!!!
