Mike Modano was a "healthy scratch" by Mike Babcock before his 1,500th game !!??
Dallas Stars legend, Stanley Cup winner Mike Modano, a former "First Overall" NHL Entry Draft Pick joins host Gino Reda. Mike played 21 seasons in the NHL. He became the Dallas Stars Captain and then became the all-time goal and points leader of American born players in the NHL. Modano is a Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest American NHL players of all time. A great career in Dallas was followed by some challenges as a Detroit Red Wing, especially when approaching his 1,500th NHL game with Red Wings Coach Mike Babcock.

I live 70 miles north west of Prince Albert and we loved the Raiders and Mike.. Everyone knew the Raiders song..They were awesome with mike ..Go Raiders go..Go Raider go..The green white and gold team is go Raiders go..We take on the roughest and welcome the toughest but the song in Prince Albert is Go Raiders go...
As an oiler fan every time madano touched the puck I cringed till he lost it he was so dangerous

Yep, that Dallas team was an Oiler killer.
What a player grew up a leaf fan but he was something to watch. Not many players can make there jersey like a cape in full stride him and Mike gardner.
He was a first class act
Great sense of humour Gino; this is an awesome interview....
Great interview! Thx
Really interesting story about his skating. He did look like he was flying with his jersey always playing catchup.
Gino thank you for this podcast. My view of the NHL was tainted by what happened to Mike as far as rookie of the year but more so by what they did to Wayne Gretzky as well. I truly thank you for showing us the true or shall I say human side of these players. From all of your guests we get a glimpse of the real people in daily life as opposed to just the bright lights…. Much appreciated! Please keep up the great work.

What did they do to Wayne Gretzky?

@@jockejocke1 They Said he was not eligible for rookie of the year because he played one season in the WHA. Stasny won it at I believe 35 years old after playing in Russia.
Honestly, why hasn't current Dallas, Detroit or Minnesota called to help make up for it? Any of those teams could call the league to make a special exception for an extra roster for one game at the end of the season when any of those teams have clinched or eliminated and let him take the opening face-off and leave the game.
Babcock was a fullblooded narcissist. Imagine denying someone like #9 his 1500th game just to make a point….

I really appreciate the effort he put in babs , is a punk and he finally has gotten what he has earned. Thank God for the whistle blower that shut him down.

What Babcock did was and is still one of the shitiest moves ever done by a coach.
