Teemu Selanne said he was going to be a "tough guy" and wouldn't cry at his jersey retirement ceremony, but it was difficult not to notice the coarseness in his voice at times.
Selanne became the first player in Anaheim Ducks history to have his jersey retired Sunday night during a touching presentation at Honda Center that showcased the genuineness of "The Finnish Flash."
Perhaps the most poignant moment came when Selanne thanked his wife, Sirpa, who shed tears. Selanne then recognized his 7-year-old daughter, Veera, as "my princess" and said of his family, which also includes sons Eemil, 18, Eetu, 17, and Leevi, 14, "You guys are my life."
