finally got to watch the ceremony. first class. love what galardi has done for this organization.
was great to see the greatness of modano's career memorialized and celebrated.
i know this might be unpopular, but.. something really struck me about his speech. i've always thought that as far as a 'superstar' goes, he was on the lower rungs of it. never seemed to have that inner fight/ determination of the all time greats.
i think he basically showed that in his speech. there were many references to either hitch or tippet or wilson 'pushing' him. not a, 'they inspired me to dig down and push myself harder, max out.' no, his entire career he needed pushed. another thread asked why he was stripped of the C in favor of morrow, and i think that this is partially why. i realize not every human is cut of the william wallace cloth, i sometimes wish he was though. so incredibly talented. i think he could have been even more amazing.
