I can almost guarantee you will never see a Detroit Red Wings based article here at PKLC unless we are brutally bashing something that occurred in the organization but this is a different story. Tonight Mike Modano, the all time leading American scorer in the NHL, makes his debut against the team he played with from 1989-2010. The team he currently plays for, his hometown Detroit Red Wings (2-0-1), go into Dallas tonight to play the Stars (2-0-0) who have been a bit of a surprise in their first two games, wins @ NJ and NYI.
Hockey fans know how Modano's story unfolded this summer: decided not to retire and wanted to return to Dallas but the Stars had decided to move on. This probably helps Modano who will undoubtedly have teas in his eyes when the Dallas crowd erupts in an ovation for him tonight. I personally have a strong distaste for both of these teams but I have always liked Modano. He is a character guy plus he's Italian-American like myself so that helps. This season has been an early see-saw for Modano as he scored on his first shot in his first game with Detroit, was invisible in game 2, and then put up a -3 in the loss against the Avalanche. I can never root for Detroit so my only hope is Modano is not a disaster tonight and he holds his own. Good Luck Michael Thomas Modano, Jr., Not that he really needs it the guy is married to Willa Ford!
