NHL Forward Teuvo Teravainen was recently questioned on his 2024-25 campaign with the Chicago Blackhawks, and he points fingers in the wrong direction in excuse to his season-low 15 goals.
A 745-game NHL veteran reigning from Finland seems to be quite distracted by a recent remixed song played at the home of the Chicago Blackhawks, the United Center.
The song is a remix of Outhere Brothers' song released in 1994 called "Boom Boom Boom", replacing "Let me hear you say wayo, wayo!" lyric with, "Now let me hear you say, Teuvo!"
Which doesn't seem like a big deal that would strike a pro athlete the wrong way, but Teuvo Teravainen appears quite bothered by it.
''I don't know if I like it too much. It's too much attention on me. Maybe once in a while, but not every game.''
Said the Blackhawks forward in an interview with Ben PopeThe 30-year old forward isn't aware of where it originated from, but he's sure of one thing, his displeasure for it.
''I didn't ask for it.''
Said TeravainenIn an effort to lighten moods through song remixes during a rough 21-44-10 season, it's having an opposite effect on the veteran, who is at a low goal total with 15 scored on the season.
Despite the goal drought he's facing, he ranks tied for 25th in league points since Dec. 15th.
Teravainen spoke on the approach he took in the second half of the season that is quite impressive on a dwelling-Blackhawks team:
''I've just tried to prepare for the next game,'' he said. ''It's pretty simple. If you stress too much and think too much about stuff, it's just going to go worse. You've got to find the balance to be loose and be hard; you've got to find the between.''
In the first of his three-year contract signed in Chicago, Teuvo's gotta get used to the song remixes hosted by the iconic venue and home of the Blackhawks, the United Center.
