Teemu Selanne might be the friendliest NHL player of all time, but something about the image of him as a younger man is extremely alarming to all three of his dogs.

There really isn’t any way to explain this. Selanne has an old cardboard cutout of himself in what looks like his personal gym and his dogs run away and bark at it non-stop. He briefly explained it on his Instagram story and then quickly proved how scared his dogs really are of the cutout:

This must’ve been what it was like for opposing players when they had to face a young Selanne. That was probably never very fun – especially in his rookie season.
