It is what it is. Also worth noting that there were quite a few interviews, for some reasons Canadians seem to enjoy highlighting this stuff instead of all the comments about how great your players are and how good your team played.
Also, FYI, post-retirement Selänne has turned out to be just a really garbage guy. He's respected as a player, but as a person he (and his wife) are probably some of the least liked celebrities in the country.
If he's not whining about hockey he's whining about how women are out of control, or liking messages about white supremacy and how queerness is a sickness.
There's literally been a meme that if a Selänne is complaining about you, you know you've done something right. |
What? Aw man...I always thought Selanne was a good dude.

People like cheer for the underdog but Canada-Us gold medal game is the way it should be.

Him and Theo must be best buds.
(oh, looking at current pics of the couple looks like they'd fit right in at Mar-a-lago)

He is....We should cut him a little slack, his team just clutched defeat from the jaws of victory. That's got to sting pretty bad.

Slovakia needs to get more traffic on the point shots.
Hellebuyck really struggles with those point shots when things get chaotic in front of him come playoff time

Good for Slovakia for getting this far but man they have fallen off a fair bit, just looking back on the 2010 team that gave Canada a fight they had Hossa, Halak, Chara, Gaborik, Demitra, Sekara. Hopefully they are getting a new wave of players, the international game is better when them and the Czechs are playing at a high level.

Depends on how you define 'Performance Enhancing?'

So did a lot of other people, he had a pretty clean image during his career.
There were some rumors, and it was a fairly well known fact that Teemu was a habitual cheater for example. I've even heard some first hand accounts in my days as a taxi driver.
The post-retirement reality has been pretty sad unfortunately.
He's also an open and fairly vocal Trump supporter.

I'm sorry about my new hollywood fixation that gives me knowledge of such salacious information about today's octogenarian in their prime.

Americans do a lot of interference, especially in the offensive zone.

Yes, some people are hating blindly because of NHL affiliations. However he wasn't the one who drove his line. That was Celebrini. It isn't unfair to expect more from the player who is supposed to be the best in the world.
