He is over 40 years old but still going strong. As a Finnish hockey fan I felt that as thanks for all great moments he has offered to me I wanted see him on the ice one more time. Last time for me was on the season 90-91 when Teemu was still playing in Finland.
I made it to Anaheim and Honda Center to see Ducks play against Flames. Seven Finns on ice in total but my visit was salute for one of them. Teemu thanked me for being there by scoring one goal and giving two assist. Equaliser at the end of 3rd period and being second star of the game. Not bad from old man.
How about one more year? I could take another trip to see you again.
