As a North Stars fan growing up, it was a bitter sweet night in Dallas this evening. Modano had his number retired while the Minnesota Wild were the visiting team. Classy move for a classy guy. Guys loved his play, women love(d) his look. Thanks for the memories Mr. Modano. (memories below)
Below are a few of many tweets dedicated to #9.
The official attendance is listed at 19,109, the largest crowd to see a hockey game at AAC
