SAY IT AIN'T SO - CHRIS OSGOOD ANNOUNCED RETIREMENT

My all time favorite Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood announced his retirement after playing 17 seasons. I got to see Osgood "up close and personal" when he was with the St. Louis Blues for a brief 2 years.
Osgood won three Stanley Cups, 1997 and as starter in 1998 and 2008. Osgood was one of the 10th winningest goalie in the league.
Best wishes, Ozzie. Come out on the ice occassionally so we don't miss you too much :)

MIKE MODANO - CAREER GAME 1,487 - MARCH 12, 2011

On Saturday, March 12, 2011, Detroit Red Wings, Mike Modano, played in his 1,487th game, tying Wayne Gretzky for 15th on the NHL career list. The game was against the Blues in St. Louis and we were there :)
After a long career, 18+ years with the Dallas Stars, Modano signed a one-year contract with Detroit Red Wings. Michigan native son finally came home. On October 8, 2010, 5:35 of the first period of Detroit's 2010-2011 home opener, on just his second shift, Modano took a pass from Cleary and beat Anaheim goaltender Jonas Hiller for his first goal as a Red Wing. Wish I was there at the Joe!
"Hey TOTA, these photos are blurry. Something is wrong with your camera." you probably wonder. No, my camera is fine. I was just shaking with joy after waiting so long to see Modano as a Red Wing - haa haa
