Thanks for linking that Matt

What a great story

"We were both out of hope, out of energy, and dried out," Bobby Heravi said. "And when Teemu and the other people came in the room it was like a fresh breeze, fresh air. It was like a prophet entered the room, an angel. He was not a hockey player. He was not a celebrity. He was not anything but a dad. A dad came in and he treated him like a son."

it may seem like simple things just visiting but to kids when their "hero" comes for a visit when you are at your worst possible moment in life it can be a massive change in their energy. and this seems to prove to be that.

alot of flak get thrown at the Sedins from non canuck fans. these guys are like Selanne in everyway in the community. I would not want it any other way

would appreciate if a mod changed this topic to OT: Bringing Faith back to People then we can post nice warm fuzzy stories instead of all the death and destruction that gets their own threads.

some of those "homes" in other countries are mind boggling. kind of gives you a perspective to life.

Selanne has always seemed like a class act. This story only reinforces that.

Selanne has always seemed like a class act. This story only reinforces that.

For the most part, minus the excessive whining during games at times, he is a class act. I've always admired him.
