It Was Like Something Out of a Movie

Greg’s stats on Modano’s career were read off by Ralph on the post-game show!!

Greg?

I get like 4-5 a year, and when I do, they knock my vision out all blurry for a while, and then I get a headache that puts me on my ass for hours…nausea, sensitivity to light…I fought through it, got to the arena, and they made me feel better, but I was scared I wasn’t gonna make it at around 5:30 today.

And I’m looking at the goal again now….boy it was close.

I wonder if that gets overturned in a playoff game. I don’t know. It was close…but you had to give it to him there. Surely the Duck fan would agree? (I kid)

I only caught the 3rd period, OT, and shootout, but that was great enough.

I think B-Bibb is writing us an epic recap!

BEST FAN EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And I’m old, people!)

No one could have written it better. God is definitely a Mike Modano fan.

WOW.

Unfortunately, Jonas Hiller got the script a little late. He was a beast and on any other night, he would have been one of the stars of the game.

And early on in the game, there seemed to be an epidemic among the Stars of must-get-the-puck-to-Mike-itis, which the Ducks were obviously waiting for.

And I don’t care what the stats lines say, or if others accuse us of being homers (kind of ironic, in a game against Anaheim), but Mike Modano, Jere Lehtinen and Marty Turco ARE the 3 Stars of tonight’s game. Period.

Thank you for everything, if it is the last time we get to see you play in Texas just know that you were a transcendental hockey player and that you are the reason this game flourishes in a state that never a thing about the great game of hockey until you introduced it to us. You are the effing man!

Somehow I was able to write something on the game.

Bobby Ryan will now be addressed as Bobby “Buzzkill” Ryan

I cried and so did my wife. I’m not afraid to admit it either.

On a silly side-note, I have got to ask Aaron Gagnon about what it was like to play in that game when he gets back to Texas…

WTF is wrong with people here? He’s entertained like a million people. They couldn’t come to a game on a thursday?

Ah well.

We did see every imaginable Modano jersey. We lost count of how many different ones there were.

Just got home from the game. I was the first person to receive a jersey at the end game ceremony from Nick Grossman. What a night it was for MO and the team. It was 11 games in a row that i attended that they lost until this mammoth game. It was surreal being down at ice level with that SO goal by MO. This was a night i will never forget.

I wonder if this will be the one we all remember years from now as the last game.

Otter with his little girl, Robi with his kids and several others. Gah. They just kept killing me.

But that was simply amazing. A great career for Modano and Id be lying if I said I wasnt going to miss him playing against the Canucks a little.
