Teemu Selanne Practices Kissing Stanley Cup On Hand

ANAHEIM—Ducks forward and team scoring leader Teemu Selanne, who has not won a championship in his 16 NHL seasons, has been using his hand to practice kissing the Stanley Cup since his team won the first game of the Finals, sources close to the team report. “He began by hoisting a pretend Stanley Cup over his head, which was pretty normal,” said Anaheim goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who accidentally stumbled onto Selanne’s tentative locker-room practice sessions Tuesday night when he returned to retrieve his forgotten car keys. “Then he sort of formed his hand into a Stanley Cup-like shape, closed his eyes, and sort of brushed his lips on it gingerly. It was rather awkward.” Giguere said his offer to loan Selanne his homemade aluminum-foil kissing-practice cup was rebuffed by Selanne as “just sad.”
