Mike Modano Statue to be Erected

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

Sorry you're down and not up on the subject here, Gaylord.

Still a shame Babcock screwed him out of the 1,500-game mark.

I had heard but not paid a lot of attention to this story. Its mind blowing that he retired with 1499 games played, what an asshole haha

 

[Madap]

Well they do say everything is bigger in Texas, so I’m curious to see what size this erection will end up being.

 

[Unspecified]

Modano said it would be taken from a picture from late 90's to early 00's. It has to be this no?

Wonder if they'll get his jersey flappin in the wind. He was my favorite player growing up in Dallas. I remember meeting him in a grocery store where he was doing a promotional event to bring awareness of the Stars to the community. There was no one at his foldout table so we stayed and chatted for a bit. He seemed very kind

I first met Mike when he was a rookie for the PA Raiders. My university buddy’s younger brother was playing for the Raiders, so that was the connection. I always admired that a kid would come from another country to chase his dream at the age of 17. I had left home for university at 17 and I was overwhelmed and it was only 3 hours down the road.

I can still see him lugging trainer trunks onto the bus after a game from the bowels of the old Saskatoon Arena, he was so slight! But let me tell you, he chose right, even though PA had and still has a reputation, it churned out some deadly players in that period - Modano, Manson, Baumgartner, Richie Pilon, not to mention the guys that went into coaching like Todd Nelson, Manny Viverois, Curtis Hunt and Edmonton Police Chief Dale McAfee - tough cookie! Tough place, tough team but it built character. Oh man, the fun on weekends that we had at house parties back then. LOL. Doug “Hobbie” Hobson…Life of the party.

Congrat to Mike. I agree, it would be so cool if they can create the jersey flapping effect into his statue. The guy could fly.

Ffing rolling!!

 

[SenzZen]

I’m glad they’re including all of the Stars teammates who attended his wedding.

How big will it be erected

What’s the yaw?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

He was a great player and worthy of this statue. But if you had seen the kind of stuff he had stored on his landline phone, you'd probably understand where Babcock was coming from.

Yo let me flip thru that rolodex

 

[Qward]

statues are dumb

 

[Strangle]

Great hockey player, and this is a well-deserved erection.

We all enjoy a good erection, and a Mike Modano erection is a gift to all of us

 

[Figgy44]

I don't recall, but was Modano more humble or cocky as a player?

Based on this thread, it sounds like the latter.

 

[EddieTheEagle]

No statue for Eddie? This is straight garbage.

I wish I was funny enough to come up with a BabCock joke here

 

[ForumNamePending]

Haven't had time to read the entire thread... Has anyone mad an erection joke yet?

 

[piqued]

Well they do say everything is bigger in Texas, so I’m curious to see what size this erection will end up being.

It'll probably be scaled to match the Dirk Nowitzki statue that went up on the other side of the plaza last year. The position of that seemed to intentionally leave room for the Stars to do something.

 

[Siludin]

About time this was immortalized.

This is so funny I have to remind myself it's not a clip from WWE every time I see it

 

[McDonald19]

For the most part yeah. Unless it’s a legendary player like Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

If Dallas had a sense of humour, the statue would be him lying sideways on the ground on a gurney.

 

[King'sPawn]

If the statue is erect for more than 4 hours...

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Damn I tried to be first in on that. Imagine that being what he's best known for. I hope he's made peace with it.

Amazing that something bumped Emilio from the top spot.
