Among Teemu's favourite tv shows: Baywatch, Desperate Housewives, Deal or No Deal. #RandomNHLfact #NHLDucks
"[Paavo] used to be a goalie as a kid, but I took all his confidence He thought he sucked." - Teemu, talking about his twin brother.
Teemu once compared Joffrey Lupul's four goals in Game 3 against the Avalanche (2006) to all the ketchup escaping a bottle in a single splat
"It's not like back home in Finland or even Canada, where girls wanted my leftover chicken bones from a meal I ate"-Teemu, on CA hockey fans
"I need about two minutes, 40 seconds [to dress for games]. My record is probably 2:32." - #NHLDucks Teemu Selänne
"I remember playing hockey outside and whenever you did, you thought about playing for Finland vs. Sweden. That's just the way it was"-Teemu
