Selanne, 17 at the time he first met his childhood idol, was impressed with Kurri's wheels, and introduced himself through their mutual love of sports cars.

"Good car," Selanne claims were his first words to Kurri.

Selanne laughs when he remembers that Kurri found out too late that he wasn't supposed to be driving.

"I didn't even have a driver's license," he said, "but I asked him if I could borrow the car and take a spin and he realized ‘he's 17.'"

"I told him, ‘Take it easy, don't spoil my tires,'" Kurri remembered. "Later on I heard that it was a hard time for my car."

Kurri joked that 600 goals and a Stanley Cup later, things are different.

"Now, I need to borrow his car," Kurri said. "Times (have) changed."
