They booed Selanne mercilessly. I was disgusted. It disheartens me that I am int he same fan group as the people who attended last night's game. I think booing Paul would have been justified--not only was the whole affair of his signing with Colorado rather sneaky, but the guy promised to bring a Cup to Anaheim--as a Duck. Selanne, though, left the Ducks almost three years ago by another's decision--he was dealt to San Jose. He made no promises to Ducks fans this past offseason, and was free to go wherever he chose. I don't like that he ended up in Colorado, but that's his decision to make and I am fine with that.

This always bugs me as well. I've never understood why you boo someone who was traded away from your team unless they were publicly criticizing them or yelling to be traded. It's out of their hands if the owner/GM decide to do something like that and it really gets me when fans hold that against a player.
