Have we seen the last of Teemu Selanne in the NHL? As soon as the Anaheim Ducks were booted from the playoffs by the Detroit Red Wings, fans were immediately wondering if Selanne would be returning to play hockey for another year or if he'd call it a career and hang up his skates.

Late in the first period the Detroit Red Wings had the puck deep in the Anaheim Ducks zone when this fantastic play happened.

The shot gave the Red Wings a 1-0 lead and was a...
