Just now getting a chance to watch some of the skills competition stuff. Watching Benn's skill alongside these other guys really reinforces what we already know, he's legit.

It also reminds me that we dont really get to see all of it. How often do we see Jamie Benn fire a one timer or have any time to snipe a corner? If we had more competent puck handlers and passers we could see a significant increase in his goal scoring. At least we should have plenty of time to add to the supporting cast.

Just speculation but Modano seems to have a problem with the push the organization is giving Benn. The Ticket asked Mike if Jamie Benn was "the next Mike Modano" and without hesitating and in what you would think is Modano-tone he says "No." Now after seeing the Boudreau quote, he tweets in reply "ZZZZZZZ..." Could be misinterpreting him but I wouldn't be shocked if he was being a dick.
Obviously Benn isn't the next Mike Modano, but the team is marketing him as the next best thing.

Why did he include Souray in that tweet?
Maybe I should follow Souray finally

Go to Modano's Facebook page. He calls himself the greatest American hockey player ever. His new hats and shirts are sold under the name Legendary Hockey Icon.Interesting.
Wonder what his problem is.

Well there's certainly something to be said about whether or not Modano was the top U.S.-born player......especially if you're limiting it to forwards, lol. His numbers do make a convincing argument, IMO. But then when you factor in the Brimseks, Chelioses, or even Lafontaines, it gets somewhat muddier.
I guess some things never change......even after retirement, Mo finds a way to say something that gets people talking.

The more I learn about Modano, the less I like him. Great player (certainly not the best) But man he's a ****ing dick.

He's definitely got "Foot In Mouth" disease.....he's had it for as long as I can remember.
The logic converter between his brain and his mouth (and in this case his fingers) seems to be.....missing.

I just don't see why he wouldn't like Benn. He's always pissed when the Stars do badly, why would he not like their best player?

As he always has.
Fact is, Mo's time is done and over with. Never going to be like it was. Benn's time is just starting and the fanbase has completely latched onto him as the future of the team. No surprise that he's at least a little jealous of it, especially when we know how Modano is for the most part. It's always been about him.

Interesting to see what role Gaglardi will offer Modano inside the Stars organization. Some sort of fans' representative...
