❝After watching what happened and how Mike Modano handled himself, I’m real thankful that we made that call (to sign Modano) because of the fact that he became part of our team,” Babcock said. “The way he handled himself, the type of man he was. The type of teammate he was, that’s part of his legacy as well. He was absolutely fantastic. A great pro and a good teammate, and a real inspiration to our guys.❞
