datsyukian_deke13 6 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 According to the Detroit Free Press Mike Modano WILL be signing with the wings! This gives us unparalleled depth for our first three lines and I just can't wait to see him score in red and white on Turco in a Blackhawks uniform! http://www.freep.com/article/20100802/SPORTS05/100802064/1319/Mike-Modano-will-sign-with-the-Red-Wings 4 TheDetroitRedWings, Z Winged Dangler, #18 the _Hoss_ and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunkedUp 29 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 Damnit. You beat me to it! Anyways, I'm super pumped about this signing. The Wings now have the deepest group of forwards in the NHL. Hudler-Modano-Cleary = 3rd line money!!! Welcome Home Mike!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hudler-Modano-Cleary = 3rd line money!!! Welcome Home Mike!!! Haha it's all in good fun! I normally don't post on the boards but then this popped up and I noticed nobody had bothered to post anything so I had to jump all over it. This is exciting though, Modano in a winged wheel just feels right to me! GO WINGS! 2 Namingway and Rebound reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broken 16 381 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 That s*** ain't official. esteef No, but it's pretty promising. OH MY......meh And at 1.25 mil? Stevie Y didn't even make that much his final year. Small price to pay for a ridiculous third line imo. 1 Z and D for the C reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RWRNHZ40 18 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 I was thinking the same thing. This is still speculation. There is plenty of hinting in the article that would lead us to believe that he is signing with the Wings. But I'm with you; I won't believe it until he makes an official announcement.

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 I have always wanted to see this guy in a Wings uniform and I'm hoping this rumor is true. Modanno centering Cleary and Hudler seems like it could be sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jollymania 162 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 modano should work, in the possibility he doesn't it will be a disaster, but at that price and the fact that he still has gas in the tank i think he will work, not my first choice but a safe one imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 “Big announcement Thursday,” Modano sent in a text Monday. Modano: "Everyone, we're here today so that I can announce that my wife has yet another name. She will now be known as Willa Mandy Ford-Modano. Also, I am not Jon Heder. Thank-you." 6 Broken 16, Jasper84, 55fan and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 Updated the title of the thread, as it's still a "report". When/if further confirmation comes, we'll edit as needed. This should, however, provide some excitement for what might be an otherwise boring Thursday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Modano is in Scotland right now and has yet to even skate. I would be surprised if a decision was made this week. Me either. But he is quoted as saying something about a "big announcement" on Thursday. hmm then maybe there is something to this...just out of curiousity, was he with Turco on vacation? dun dun dun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
