It was only a matter of time before that record would be broken by Mikey Mo, and on November 7, 2008 when the Stars were playing the Sharks, it happened. Mike Modano scored 2 goals to make him the highest scoring U.S. born hockey player, overtaking Phil Housley’s record.
Then, on November 21, 2008, the Stars held Mike Modano tribute night; honoring his accomplishment. It was seriously magical and I still get chills watching the video.
edit: I forgot to mention, I’m proud he’s American.

I remember having to wipe the tears away during Tribute Night. I cried. A lot.
Also, why did I never notice that in the tribute video, the draft part is in black and white? For some reason, that makes me laugh a lot.
