RE: On The Road To Nomad - Days 9 through 10 (5/26/18 - 5/28/18) Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, Needles Highway and Mammoth Site.
Question for you! If you could change Mount Rushmore what faces would you put on the rocks!?
I’d keep George Washington and add Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo DaVinci and Teemu Selanne.
haha Teemu Selanne.. guy was a legend. There was something about him in a Jets and Ducks uniform that just looked right. Also his celebration is priceless!
I went to a Ducks game and he had won the MVP at the All Star Game that year so I bought a commemorative puck. My friend and I went around the back after the game hoping to get an autograph. Some of the players would stop and sign for 5 or 10 minutes and some wouldn’t even stop. Teemu stopped and there were like 200 people crowded around trying to get his autograph. Of course my fried and I were in the back and I said “this sucks, we’ll never get his autograph” but this lady told me not to worry because he stays until every last person gets an autograph and he does it after every game. Took like an hour and a half, every other player was long gone. He is a class act.
Damn that's ****** awesome. I've always seen his interviews and stuff on tv and he's always seemed like a class act and now I got the proof. It's cool when someone famous like that is willing to do that. The end of the day he's no different then us. Can just skate and pass the puck better then 99.5% of us!!
I hope you've been a ducks fan ever since lol
Lifelong Ducks fan. Although I admit to being a Colorado Avalanche fan for a season and a San Jose Sharks fan for 1 or 2 seasons when Selanne played for those teams. More like a lifelong Selanne fan. He did an interview after signing a 2 year 2.1 million dollar contract with the Ducks the same year Jaromir Jagr signed an 8 year 7.1 million deal with the Penguins (I believe Selanne had more points than Jagr it was just behind him that year). The interviewer asked him why he didn’t hold out for more and he said 2.1 million dollars is a lot of money for doing what I love to do and the more I get paid the more of that cost gets passed on to the fans. Professional sports needs more people like that. I’m pretty sure I teared up when he played his last game.
That's awesome man and yeah now a days you see all these max contracts in sports and every year in the NFL a QB is getting paid more and more it's ridiculous. Like you seriously need 240 Million over 6 years.. I get you're good at what you do and you're a professional but it's a bit excessive.
Thats awesome though! I support Selanne even more now then I did before! He's a class act.
Hell yeah bro. This world needs more Selanne fans.
