... on becoming the highest scoring American-born player in NHL history.

I`ve never been a big fan of the Dallas Stars or the Northstars before they left Minnesota, but I`ve always admired the skill Modano brought to the game and the seeming lack of ego to go with it. He`s always come across as very workman like in his approach and classy in his demeanor. To be the highest scorer of a group that includes talented and long-serving names like Phil Housley, Jeremy Roenick, Brian Leetch, and Brett Hull is a pretty impressive accomplishment and well deserved. A feel-good story in an NHL season thats been thus far marked mostly by lack-luster performances of some big contract recipients and some huge suspensions for some epicly boneheaded plays *wave at Downie and Boulerice*.
