DUNCEVILLE
What a disappointment in Nashville last night.
No, not the loss.
No, not the sucker punch administered to Robidas. (He's O.K., relatively speaking)
I'm referring to the response (or lack there of) from the Predator fans and organization to Mike Modano's historic goal. Here they are a struggling US hockey market at both the corporate and ticket sales level, with a team that is finally reaching its potential and contending on the ice, and all they can muster up when Modano ties and then sets a gold standard, red- white and blue record is to chant "Modano is a baby" and boo him everytime he touched the puck?! Classy bunch in Trashville.
Maybe we should dismiss the ignoranus lot and suggest that in the future they take their cues from the educated, appreciative, Tiffany fans in Dallas.
Remember when Patrick Roy set the record for most minutes played by a goaltender in NHL history in a game at AAC? Our organization acknowledged it in the building and 18,500 rose to their feet in thunderous applause, despite the fact Roy was rival "A" during those 90s Conference Finals.
And in more recent memory, how about when Mark Recchi scored his 500th career goal during that wildly entertaining post-All Star tilt with the Pens. Once again the Stars organization recognized the accomplishment, and again the sold out arena stood and showered the individual with a lengthy standing O, one that stunned the classy pro...but not me.
So moving forward here's a plea to our boy Mike Modano. Mike, if at all possible break Housley's record for most points by a US born player at home. Our fans deserve it.
(And should the Stars and Predators meet in the upcoming playoffs, light em up and send them off to a lengthy summer with their tails tucked right up by their taints. Their "fans" deserve that.)
