What if Sharks' Teemu Selanne hadn't missed open net in 2002 playoffs?

Editor's note: Twice a week, NBC Sports Bay Area will look back on biggest "What If?" moments in Bay Area sports history in our "Hindsight 2020" series. The third installment: What if Teemu Selanne hadn't missed the open net in 2002?

Teemu Selanne ranks among one of the best goal scorers of his generation. The Hall of Famer and former Sharks winger played 21 seasons in the NHL, and led the league in scoring three times in that span. He found the back of the net 29 times during the 2001-02 season, his first full season with the Sharks.
