Photo: Teemu Selanne poses with a kitten; how great is this guy?

If for no other reason than it's awesome, here's Teemu Selanne posing with a kitten.

Say it with us: Awwwwww. (Reddit)

If for no other reason than it's the lockout and it's Teemu Selanne, here's a photo of the Finnish Flash (and somebody else, obviously) holding a kitten.

I mean, really. How can you not like Selanne? Now the guy is even posing for pictures holding cute kittens. I'm a little biased -- I have two cats of my own -- but that's just a winning photo right there.

Sure beats Jay Cutler's cat photo.
