elriqo28 2 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 Just wanted to give Modano his much deserved appreciation. I have a feeling he could have many more goals if he wasn't a lot like Yzerman and became a 2-way team player. Anyway, its good to see it happen to him! Congratulations!

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 Modano is great, and he's been playing super lately. He's easily my favourite American in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 I've always felt Modano was a lot like Al Iafrate, He has all the tools he needs to be the best at his position, and because of that is considered in that group, even though he rarely ever puts it all together in any one game. Still a damn good player, but I would rather have a different Detroit boy--Patty LaFontaine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 Still a damn good player, but I would rather have a different Detroit boy--Patty LaFontaine. you'd rather that Devellano drafted Lafontaine like he wanted to, instead of settling for that other guy?

SFwingsfan 23 Report post Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) I know Modano rose through the ranks of the Little Ceasars "AAA" hockey program that back in the day used to play at the old Oak Park Ice Arena. Geez, people might even recall that during this period the Red Wings (and visiting teams) used to use this place as one of their practice rinks. I'll never forget during the first and only Sergei Fedorov hockey camp we were eating our daily lunch of Little Ceasars pizza (still pretty funny) and one of the instructors pointed out Modano in a photo of an old team. Quite simply one of the greatest American players of all time and a total class act. Edited March 19, 2007 by SFwingsfan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Never_Retire_Steve 35 Report post Posted March 19, 2007 Congrats, I've always liked Modano. I'll admit that I was expecting this thread to thank him for hitting Tootoo with his stick at first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
