June 1, 2008 The Dallas News suggests that the Star postseason surge likely gave Mike Modano reason to return in 2008-09. "There's a little bit of indecision still there," Modano said. "The big tell is going to be when I have to start working out again. That's when I will know if I'm ready to do it again or not."

May 14, 2008 Veteran center Mike Modano is not the prolific scorer he once was, but he still gets the job done when the job gets tough. Tonight he scored the Stars' game-winning goal to put Dallas back in the hunt for survival, winning 3-1 in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals over Detroit. Our View:With that said, the series is now at 3-1 in favor of Detroit, and Modano's goal may prove to be one of few highlights for Dallas in this series. |

April 23, 2008 Mike Modano is no longer the scoring threat that he once was, and in fact he has finally settled into the checking role the team wants him to fill, this according to the Dallas Morning News. "It's taken some time," Modano said. "But I think I understand things better now." Our View:With the acquisition of Brad Richards, Modano was pushed down to a third line role where his excellent skating still allows him to be a scoring threat in addition to being an excellent checker. He will play a big part if the Stars are to defeat the Sharks in the second round. |
