Thursday, April 8, 2010 was possibly the last game Modano will ever play for the Dallas Stars. I was so fortunate to go to the game and very blessed to have had amazing seats about 10 rows back from the players bench! It was very emotional in the American Airlines Center that night. After one of the tv timeouts they showed a video clip of Modano's highlights throughout his career and there was a standing ovation for him for a long time after it. It brought him to tears. I can't imagine how that must of felt after so much hard work and dedication he's put into his career for it to all come to end just like that. Mike Modano only played 15 minutes, but the way he played made it seem he was out there for the majority of it. It was like watching the classic Mike out there with his tying goal and the shoot out goal that won the game for us!
I've enjoyed watching him play for the past 15 years or so! I am happy for him to, that he won the Stanley Cup!! I would love to see him come back for one more year, but someday he has to retire. It would make me very sad to see him play for a different team. I really hope that he doesn't pull an Emmitt Smith! Mike, if you're going to retire, you need to retire with the Dallas Stars!!! Possible ownership of the Stars is a possiblity and would be VERY exciting to have him on board!!!
Thank you Mike Modano for your dedication to the game, to the team, and to the fans of the Dallas Stars!! It was a pleasure to watch you and I pray you be blessed with whatever you decide to do in the future!!
