Teemu Selanne seemed to have a need to go out of his way to send a little disrespect Yevgeni Nabokov's way.

From the linked OC Register article:

"...Despite plenty of pressure on Nabokov, including eight shots during two third-period, power-play opportunities, the closest the Ducks came to scoring was a Teemu Selanne shot from low in the right-wing circle that clanged off the far goal post near the 17-minute mark.

"It was just one of those nights when the goalie was standing on his head," Selanne said. "He’s a good goalie, but not that good."

First off, I had to laugh at Selanne hitting the pipe with that shot late in the third period. Hey, at least he's improving. It's not like he completely missed an open net at a key moment in a playoff game vs. Detroit, right?

But thought his little snipe at Nabokov was pretty childish for someone who is supposed to be one of the class acts of the NHL.
