In 2015, former Capital Andrew Gordon wrote about what it was like playing with future Hall of Famer Teemu Selanne. Gordon also touched on how considerate and thoughtful the recently retired 684-goal scorer is.
Now we can see it with our own two eyes. On Monday morning, Selanne released a short video congratulating Alex Ovechkin reaching the 500 goal plateau — a feat he accomplished November 22, 2006 against Jose Theodore.

“Score number 8, Alexander Ovechkin,” Selanne said. “Well done. 500 goals in the NHL. Welcome to the club. Keep it going. Many many to come.”
Great gesture.
