- This is another case of me believing I had made a career video on a player that I hadn't until now.

I will never forget Derian Hatcher lifting the cup as the first American captain to do so in 1999
Babcock should be ashamed of himself for his treatment of this guy. Unfortunately his narcissism and self aggrandizing nature would never allow for that
He's a terrible human being and unless he seriously changes his behavior and the way he treats people then he shouldn't allowed to coach again.
A black eye on an amazing career. When you say "mike modano " someone's gonna bring up the 1499
Mike Babcock was a great NHL coach and is a great person. People misunderstand and misconstue him because he's old fashioned.
@@Gogalen789 A good person doesn't do someone as dirty as he did Mo. Babcock's ego was outsized and he got too full of himself. He also used public shaming which has never been productive but Babcock gets credit for doing things he didn't actually do. He won one Cup with an overly talented team, mostly getting ousted by lesser teams in the playoffs. He put Modano in the lineup for 1500 then pulled him before the game. You misunderstand and misconstrue Babcock, not the people who criticize him.
Whoever you are, you're probably a good person because you're a hockey fan. Have a wonderful weekend
Have a wonderful week as well!
❤
... if only this was true :-(
Like most groups, there are good ones and bad ones
Thank you commenter from 2 years ago!
Modano was putting up those points in the dead puck era, imagine him hitting his prime nowadays
Imagine him with someone like McDavid or Barzal?
The goalies back then, there were a few elite ones, but nothing like the depth of goalies nowadays with the skill and athleticism they possess.
@@Gogalen789 pretty sure Roy, Brodeur, Hasek, CuJo, Belfour, Khabibulin, Richter, Vanbiesbrouck, Kolzig, Burke, Nabokov, Turco, Kipper, Luongo etc.. were all around the dead puck era. This wasn’t the 80s I’m talking about, the dead puck era had the golden age of goaltending imo
@@Junketsuadidas Yes those were all so very good goalies but the ones today....just a little bit better.
He played plenty before that.
Loved watching Modano. Why didn't the stars just let him play that 1 last game as a star?
Ehh, didn't go so well when Forsberg did that in Colorado
He was signed to Detroit. Babcock fucked him over.
@@JarradBruessel32 Babcock has such great integrity that he coaches for free!
North Stars logo and color scheme is IMO, one of the best all time
1499 games played thanks mike.
Oh yes I was reading about that today. The more I read about Babcock the more I really dislike him
@@darthvader3742 yet people think he should be coaching again. Fucking bull shit if you ask me.
@@JarradBruessel32 unless he is willing to make major changes to the way he acts or treats people especially young players then no he should no where near a NHL bench or any hockey bench for that matter.
When I saw Mike Modano I immediattely clicked! What a legend!
I used to watch Modano when the Stars came to Calgary and my seats were about 5-7 rows up just behind the net and to the corner. So you get to see a great vantage point of their skating ability and how they pivot etc. when behind the net or in the corner! Next to Nicklas Lidstrom, the GOAT, Modano struck me as one of the smoothest and smartest players I'd ever watched! Effortless is what comes to mind!
Yes. Modano's skating ability was well above average in a era where skating ability wasn't heavily prioritized like today. He was fast, fluid, elusive and offensively dangerous with the puck.
My friends and I called him Mr perfect when we watched him play live. everything he did on the ice was just that
Modano was not the captain of the 98-99 Cup team. It was Derian Hatcher. Modano was named captain in 03-04.
That said, still one of my favorite players.
I think people forgot Hatcher got the cup lol I still think of Modano, Eddie, Hull or Joe New.
Modano was and still is my favorite player ever. Yes I know I'm a Stars fan and I'm biased, but, I grew up in and live in DFW and I watched a LOT of games of him. In his prime Modano was a terrific player, and those Stars teams of the late 90's and early 2000's were definitely fun to watch.
Don’t worry Mr Madano, you’ll always have 1500 GP to me, there was that “official game” that you played in the first mighty ducks movie, that all the ducks went to go see.
Geez, it's just a number. Not as bad as running a mile in 4:00.03
Congratulations on 200k!!
Mike Modano is definitely the reason why hockey is growing in Texas. He really is America’s brightest star.
Dallas was ranked 3rd in attendance for the 19-20(34 games). That’s a stat that surprised me(not to be a dick), just didn’t expect them that high
one of my favorite players of all time,and congrats on 200K well deserved !!!!!!
Kyper said it best, Babcock attached his name to a a hall of fame career now when everyone sees that 1499, you'll always think about that. There's no excuse in my mind for doing that, especially to a hometown legend
I think they did it just to see how many fans they could irritate just for the heckuv it.
@@Gogalen789 lol... I 100% believe they weren't "trolling" at the expense of a hall of fame career
@@scummydummy Ask me if I care...tee hee
Growing up as a Stars fan, it was so cool watching him when I was kid. I got to go to his jersey retirement game and it was so cool. Go Stars!
Maybe the Stars should have dressed him for the first game of the season as part of the 1-day contract. He takes the faceoff and heads to the bench. 1500 games - check. Oh, and he could have worn "Babcock" on the jersey. Nah, he's too classy for that. A great player for sure and deservedly in the Hall.
Hated to lose the North Stars when I lived in MN right as he was blossoming into a terrific player. How the hell did the State of Hockey lose a hockey team? Still baffles me.
poverty
Greed and democrats
@@timar6868 lmao those damn fucking commies reeeeee. It was all on norm green dumbass.
@@timar6868 Several reasons were cited for the relocation, including poor attendance during a string of losing seasons, the failure to reach deals for a new arena in either Minneapolis or Saint Paul, and a sexual harassment lawsuit against Green that resulted in his wife threatening to leave him unless he moved the team.[17] The subsequent decision to relocate the franchise to Texas made Green much reviled in Minnesota, where he derisively came to be known as "Norm Greed".
Reminds me of Quebec losing their team right as they were becoming really good, then they go on to win a cup in Colorado. At least Minnesota finally got a team again, Quebec still waiting.
Met him in 1999 and he gave me his hat and signed it ! Great guy
a guy who consistently produced (and a ton of goals no less) throughout the dead puck era is nothing short of awesome. Screw babcock forever for the 1499.
We loved him in Detroit. His wrist injury was terrible. I have my own Modano story... he is an all around good human being.
Congratulations on 200k Shannon I am keeping up with this channel since 30k, thank you for the inspiration that you are for me and all of us!
Legend. Few things better than watching him fly down the ice with his jersey billowing in the wind
One player I wish I could’ve seen live is Mike Modano.. My father’s told me about how exciting he was, and he had a huge impact on the sport in the southern US.
Great video as always, Shannon!! Could you make a career video on Pavol Demitra?
I seriously don't know how Babcock sleeps at night knowing he didn't let Modano play his 1500th game
Babcock is quintessential asshole!!
Quite easily. Because thats how he lives his life. Being a dick head and a stubborn old man.
That's malignant narcissists for you.
At least he didn't become a president or anything.
I honestly thought you have done a Modano video before too. Eerie
Same. Mandela effect.
Congrats on 200,000 subscribers!! Well deserved Chanel!
Another guy who had a similar career to Modano was Sundin. Both of them had amazing careers, they were never the guys who were put up high point totals but they were solid two way forwards as well. When both of them retired, they were the best players from their country. Similar all time totals and they were both drafted #1 overall
Congratulations on 200k Shannon been watching you since the 2018 playoffs
Oh hell yes! Mike Modano! One of my childhood favourites!
Thank you so much for making this video!
Congrats on 200k! i remember watching mike as a kid in the mid 2000s
As a former Sharks season ticket holder from the late 90's to the to the early 00's I had the pleasure of watching Mike Madano play against the Sharks often since they were also in the Pacific Division at the time. Even though he played on the Stars he is one of my all time favorite players because he was just a true legend and all around great guy. I always remember those playoff battles with Dallas and we always lost because of players like Mike Madadano.
Yes! my favorite player ever growing up. 👌🙏
Love your content Shannon! On behalf of Leafs Nation, can you do a Career Video on Mats Sundin?
A suggestion for the next career retro... Sandis Ozolins.
Mike Modano was my favorite player . I wrote him a letter when I was 7 or 8 and he sent me back an autographed picture.
Congrats on your 200k Sub hit ,& I'm a Huge Hockey Fan...Flyers of the 70s go me hooked to Philadelphia Flyers but I also like Minnesota/Dallas North-Stars 🌟 I enjoy your Hockey Videos, cause I get to learn the Stats from you, Much Respect from Truro Nova Scotia, 👌👏👏👏👏👍
Congrats again on the 200K!
Love Trevor Linden, always will - he was amazing for the Canucks and absolutely clutch when it mattered. But Modano’s skill was undeniable and he has that cup ring (Hull notwithstanding). Just wish Mini didn’t have to lose their team. Minnesota deserved that 99 cup run every bit as much as Dallas.
He was the best American ever, he gave me a puck in LA when I was a little kid cause I wore his jersey backyards so he saw his name when I was pounding on the glass.. then rebeiro not knowing I got one earlier gave me one to, it's alot easier to get stuck in an away barn forsure
Chelios and Kane are better
Michigan legend . Same for Hatcher, loved seeing Michigan represented in the NHL
Way to go boys finally you get a true hockey player Mo is a legend hands down best player ever to play in Minnesota. Great job boys your podcast is amazing and love tuning in every week. Let me know if you need me would love to do an interview and be on your podcast
Modano should lace up for one more game with the stars. Just run one shift and call it good.
Was researching Mo's production in his first 83 career games to compare to Jason Robertson, who as of his writing had an incredible two-goal, three-point game including the game winner against BUF and is up to 81 points in 83 games despite being criminally underused for his first 20ish career games. End up finding this incredible video which was a treat to watch all on its own, so thanks for doing this! But do you happen to know who his primary linemates were in his rookie year? Hockey-Reference says he apparently played much of the season at wing, but I can't tell from the team's H-R page if he played with Bellows & Broten or maybe on the second line with Gagner (what a top six that would've been with those four as its core!)
Info about linemates in the old days is sadly hard to come by, usually you can use ATOI to get a clear picture of the top six at least but ATOI wasn't available this far back.
I can tell you he played on a line with Gange for a while for sure :)
Modano is the one that got me into hockey as a young kid playing as Dallas in NHL '99 and '00. I remember going with my dad to a Winterhawks game in Portland and he told me I could pick one thing from the fan shop, and of course I grabbed a $10 puck with the old school Stars logo on it because "hey that's the team that one guy plays for"
I learned to skate at Mike Modano ice arena. They have an awesome display of his memorabilia
That the one in Westland?
@@BoardRoomGamer yes sir
The greatest American born hockey player ever.
Go Stars!!!
@Used Napkin yeah if patty had 160 more goals,260+ assists
@Used Napkin its based on goals,points and assists...not cup rings.
as a leafs fan i can't help but mention Babcock sitting Modano. that is so on brand for him, and it reminds me of how he sat Spezza in the first game of his first year here with Spezza's family in the building. absolute tool and i'm so glad Spezza keeps proving that to have been a horrible decision
I was happy to like The Stars because Keith Acton & Bobby Clarke & a few others joined the Stars 🌟...Great Video 👌👍
Wasn’t Darian Hatcher the captain of the Dallas Stars in 1998-1999 when they won the cup?
Yes.
I love these videos.
The North Stars didn't change the logo and jerseys at the start of the 92-93 season. During the 90-91 season the STARS logo was on the ice (not at center ice) and it was on the boards too. Late in game 6 of the 91 Cup finals Bill Clement said "take a good look at those Northstars jerseys and logos because they are going away next season".
But the Northstars name, logo, and jerseys were the best. My favorites were what they wore in 1981. And the Mild, er Wild did great picking that look for their reverse retro jerseys.
If he didn’t play in the trap era under a super defensive head coach in Hitch, his offensive numbers would have been very impressive, comparable to Sakic’s, maybe better. Alas that was not the case. But you get a hint of his offensive prowess from his stats in the early 90s before Hitch got to Dallas and changed his game.
An Ed Belfour career video would be awesome too!
The second canucks game I went to was against Dallas and Modano scored the ot winner. Security was beating up a fan at the same time. The fans in our section were watching the game and the beating back and forth simultaneously. Was an intense overtime lol
Madano was such a likeable guy. Couldn't help but root for him despite not being a fan of the Stars. One American born player who did have that dominant stretch was John Leclair, who does not have a career video yet. 😁
So how great wast the Lehtinen-Modano-Hull line. 3 time selke winner, selke finalist and legendary goal scorer in single line.
GO STARS!
I'll never forget when the ambulance crew dropped him from the gurney. Never laughed harder in my life.
Of course you would Lance
It was like a scene straight out of a
WWE match! Unbelievable!
Omg Shannon did u see the golf video of modano? Haha it made me laugh but also that was incredible!
Absolutely one of my favorite players in the 90s
How about a video of Sergei Fedorov? I would love to hear your thoughts!
Hell ya mike modano livonia, MI represent! The "mike modano ice arena" is 3 blocks over from me, in westland. Before he was traded to detroit, he had a building-sized cut out of him in a stars jersey holding the cup..... in the middle of motor-city suburbia. I was salty. They ended up changing it to a wings jersey after he played for us. I never really cared that it was a stars jersey. Much lover for the local legend! #9!
He helped paved the way for American Hockey and the twenty years+ after.
I got to meet modano a couple of times as a kid and that was definitely a big deal for me. Still the only player I've seen with his jersey flapping in the wind. Didn't k ow how lucky I was watching the 98-00 Stars as a kid, but definitely cherished memories
The 1990-91 Minnesota North Stars remind me a lot of this years Habs-not the best regular season stats but playoffs are a different beast.
Derian Hatcher was the captain of the Cup winning Stars team.
05:43 I'm shocked you never mentioned that, yes, Modano was a good 2-way forward by the end of the 90s, but it was Ken Hitchcock that came into Dallas and benched him and forced him to develop his defensive game because he was notorious for NOT playing a 2-way game prior to that.
Imagine being a 50 goal scorer in the NHL and you’re the 8th highest goal scorer 😳
I'm a Sabres fan but Modano was my guy. I'm Italian, my favorite number is 9, I liked playing center and I skated with my head down
One thing everyone forgets, 98-99 playoffs 23 game played 5 goal, 18 assists. 14 of those games he played with a broken wrist.
MN born and raised. Started watching the North Stars in the early 80's. Was really bummed when Norm Green took them away. For whatever reason, I was never a Modano fan. Had nothing to do with his skill. I think of it like Mickey Rourke's character in "Barfly", when he said "it's not that I don't like people, I just feel better when they're not around". Modano reminds me of some fellow high school jocks that I steered clear of.
He was a very talented player, and deserves better than what Babcock handed him, although 1499 is a really cool number. He's probably a great guy that does not deserve my petty judgement.
Mike Modano is at the center of one of the most memorable sports bloopers of all time.
Favourite player of all time
Hello, Shannon!
Why aren't you covering the on-going EURO 2020 tournament on your channel?
Just kiddin'!! :-D :-P
My stepfather played with him in Lovonia. I played at this westland arena growing up. I was also born in Texas and have family that lived out there dumber what year we went to their practice rink and I snuck into their locker room. And Darcy Walkaluk was yelling at me and he came up And made him apologize & the entire team sign a piece of paper for me. These are the nicest guys ever I was like 8 at the time a moment i will never forget and always have to tell
6:28 Stars Captain was Derian Hatcher not Mike Modano
The next career video should be of Steve Larmer, really good player who was criminally underrated in my opinion
Derian Hatcher was captain 99.
Funny thing..Once (while I was working in a call center, about 15 years ago) Someone called in from Livonia, Michigan..So I said "Hey no way, Mike Modano's my favorite player!" and no joke, they were like, "Who?"..They honest to god had no idea who Mike freakin Modano was...That baffled me. Like, how many star pro athletes are from there? Probably 1.
Hatcher was born around that area as well I believe
Nevermind Hatcher was born in sterling Heights, still pretty close to Livonia though
@@johnnyslokes2712 No kiddin! Both Hatchers I assume..
@@randomonium3742 yep . both brothers :)
This video makes me sick being a Sabres fan. I think most Sabres fans know why.
I didn’t have a conscious memory of it but it always makes me upset thinking about it
Anyone who watched hockey in the 90s knows why. Officials knew what the rule was, but wanted to go home. Then they retconned the rule after the fact.
@@ThomB1031 Word is the NHL Commissioner's Office called in and said to allow it, but that's only a rumor to my knowledge. It was too important a time for the stupid rule to mess things up, but it was the rule, so there's a legitimate gripe. Definitely a retcon.
THG should make a video about that lol.
@@ripsaw2322 didn't he already? Or maybe it was mentioned in a video about the Buffalo organization. Either way, in the 90s I was an usher in Anaheim, and may favorite teams in the other conference were Buffalo and New Jersey. Their playoff runs kept me awake when I had to pull all nighters for college.
Best American player ever, sorry Patrick.
Seriously though one of my favorite players ever, and one of the reasons I cheer for the stars.
He does have a soft spot for the state of AZ. Has a house here and could be seen at the local Orange Theory working out almost daily over the last several years.
Modano was a guy, like Roenick and Gilmour, I loved/hated/respected during the Norris days. The lone 50-goal year was one thing, but never hitting 100 points just felt wrong.
When they said they will erect Dirk Nowitzki statue in front of American Airlines Arena..
I just noticed no one from the Stanley Cup winning Stars had a statue there..
Especially Modano..
He’s my favorite of all time!
Can you do a Pavol Demitra career video. I feel like he is one of the most underrated players. Especially by Blues fans, being a blues fan it doesn’t seem like enough people appreciate how good he was.
Derian Hatcher was Team Captain in '99
A solid player. Never wanted to play against him. A threat anytime on the ice.
Can you make an updated video of what you think of the shootouts? #2021 #fromsouthcarolina! #gosouthcarolinastingrays!
"There's nothing here dude" lol
Everytime I see that Stars logo I think of Blake Sloan or Mike Keane lol
Have you ever thought about doing a video on the career of Markus Naslund? Almost seems obvious, but I don't think I can recall one.
"Oh look at that!!......I can't believe we just saw that"
ZETTERBERG CAREER VIDEO PLEASEEE
Hate to correct you but it was Hatcher in 99 that was the Captain, Modano was only Captain between 2003-2006
Man, when Modano got hit, the stretchered him off the ice, and when they were moving him into the ambulance, they dropped the stretcher.
That story aside, what a player! Blazing speed, big time shot, great playmaker...however he left a lot to be desired as well because he did not have any huge seasons.
Absolute Unit
His points record as an American should be untouchable; Paddy Kane is 286 points away with about 8 seasons left in his career, it just might be unbreakable.
Thank you!
