Wilderness Walk for 4-9-2010

I’ll be at the game and I’m sure he’ll get a great ovation at the X tomorrow. Don’t know if we’ll bring him to tears again…that was sweet.

Does anyone remember the old North Stars commercial that ended with a young, smiling Modano and the little “cha-ching” glint of light off his teeth? I did a quick google and you tube search but couldn’t find it. Loved how they capitalized on his pretty face!

I will most definitely participate in the standing o for Modano. I am going to hang out near the zamboni’s entrance after the game and hopefully get him to sign a puck for me. It would most definitely make my day.

I’m afraid I might tear up! Love Modano. I remember being a little girl sitting by my dad while he told me about the North Stars, and for some reason Modano’s name always stuck with me. He truly is a hockey great, and we’re all very privileged that we might be attending his last NHL game. But I digress. I’m sure he will get an ovation, and I hope he feels the love.

I appreciate the kind words.

I hope that Wild fans can bring the house down for Modano, it’d be a great way to have things end for him… Provided he doesn’t go all Gretzky-like and scores the GWG or something.

       While I do not know what he has been like since leaving MN, but I can tell you, while he was here, the guy was a jerk complete douchebag. I saw him on more than one occasion treat people like crap for no other reason than, he could get away with it. Maybe he lacked maturity at the time and grew out of his stupid behavior, much the way I hope Patrick Sharpe is able to after his Taxi cab incident, but from what i know about Mike Modano, he is not somebody that I would like to give a warm, fuzzy feeling to. I will boo him emphatically

It was in the playoffs, i don’t remember who it was against, theybroke from the game to show “the skirt” Modano being put into an ambulance, and the paramedics dropped him on his head. I Literally fell on the floor laughing.;

About the Wild’s viability, Modano said this in September 1999: “If we weren’t in Dallas, a lot of the things that made this team great wouldn’t have happened. They don’t have the businesses in Minneapolis. People were griping about a $28 top-priced ticket up there. It’s $80-$90 down here. Moving to Dallas was a new beginning for a lot of us. The fans in Minneapolis had a chip on their shoulders toward us. Plus, Minnesota is a college and high school hockey area.”
