Here are some of the best highlights of Mike Modanos career: Mike Modano has experienced many important moments during his career, but these five are by far the most significant. During the 2005 offseason, Modano contemplated signing with the Boston Bruins, but he decided to stay with the Stars after owner Tom Hicks got involved. Instead, Modano will have a chance to work hand-in-hand with owner Craig Leipold and team president Matt Majka on a number of business-related ventures. Theres always a picture of Mo that I have in my head of him, in the locker room, hugging the Cup, in tears, Langenbrunner says. He trusted our judgment and he trusted our coaching.. Despite all the accolades, the Hall-of-Fame inductions and the championship, Modano always wondered what it'd be like to come back to Minnesota. Modano scored his 500th career regular-season goal on March 13, 2007, with 10:24 left in the 3rd period in a regulation win against Antero Niittymki of the Philadelphia Flyers with assists by Antti Miettinen and Jon Klemm. In fact, Allison was born just one year before Modano was drafted into the NHL. In the 1998 Stanley Cup playoffs, with new goaltender Ed Belfour, the Stars reached the Western Finals. Perfect, with Perfect playing as a goaltender saving every shot including Modano's. The Stars have made it to the playoffs in 1981, 1991, 1999, 2000 and 2020, but only took the cup home in 1999, when they defeated the Buffalo Sabres with the help of Modano. In 2007, Modano set the NHL all-time record for the most points scored by a U.S.-born player. We just said, we gotta find a home for him. Try a week on us. During the next two seasons, Modano lowered his goalscoring and had many injuries - a concussion, a knee injury and ruptured ankle tendons - but improved his defensive play.
