Do you think Nashville was wrong for booing Modano when he broke the american goal record?

Answer 1

yes, definitely wrong. good posts on this question. the fans were wrong, and the announcer was even worse. but what do you expect from a team who goes out and trades for a guy w/ no class...Forsberg. people w/ no class like to surround themselves w/ similar people. it's ok, cuz Dallas will get further than Nashville in the playoffs anyway. Modano is a very good representative for the USA to hockey. Nashville is not.

Answer 2

Oh, c'mon people, get a grip. Read the facts (or is it true that northeners can only read beer cans?) The situation would have only went from bad to worse after what that gutless slug Modano did. Clean check or not, Modano is a whining loser. American record? Big deal. Does the NFL or MBL or the others recognize Canadian achievements? Nope. Why should the NHL be any different. Also, come watch a game in Nashville sometime and you will be treated with far more class and southern hospitality than you think. I've seen how visiting fans act in Nashville. It's disgusting. So holier than thou people, get a life.

Answer 3

No. Here are my reasons.
1. American goal record isnt a real record. Do we have to honor all people of all nationalities that score a goal? Should we declare a player the Finnish goal scoring leader? Modano is a great player, but I think the NHL was reaching here.
2. It's the responsibility of the visiting team to inform the home team of any recognition they would like a player to recieve. The Stars notified Nashville that they would like the net if Modano scored, but did not ask for in game recognition.
3. Nashville had planned on recognizing Modano even though Dallas didnt ask for recognition, but Modano hit Tootoo with a stick. At this point they didnt think it was prudent to make an announcement because (a) a player had to be carted out on a stretcher (b) they were afraid recognizing Modano would make a bad situation worse.

The media, of course, fails to report the whole story, only what sells papers or gets on the news. Check out this article. Notice "The NHL noticed the Lites comments, league spokesman Frank Brown. He said Commissioner Gary Bettman already had contacted Lites. (Bettman) thought those comments were inappropriate and that was conveyed by the commissioner to the Stars, Brown said. Brown wouldn't say if Lites is subject to disciplinary action."

Sounds to me like the Dallas GM is a sore about losing to the Preds and having a player cold cocked by Tootoo. I also noticed a lot of people taking a holier-than-thou route. Let's face it. If the same situation happened in any other city it would of probably of had the same results.

Answer 4

It was wrong to boo for him when he set the record. If it was other American fans than in Nashville, the fans would have cheered him. Bad luck that he was there when he scored it. Modano deserved that the fans would cheer for him.

But: why did the Stars take away the "C" from him? Even today, he forbids the media to ask him why this happened. Would O'Callahan, Broten, MacLanahan
ever been stripped of the C? Modano is not the sort of player that Herb Brooks would've had on his team. He complained big-time about this and that after his team got their butts kicked in the Olympics in Turin. Not a leader. Chelios is.

Too many people think of sports betting as just something they do in their past time. However, many people can see the potential that exists if you manage to have the right sports betting strategy and correct approach to betting in general. Are you sick of losing? Interested in finding out how to turn your luck around? Do you want to know which sports betting strategies stand to help you make the most from your betting?

Any good strategy should allow you to place bets based on a systematic method. Of course there is always a random element or so called luck involved, but betting is all about stacking the odds in your favor. There should be no guess work involved or bets placed based on gut feelings. Betting is a business and it should be treated like one. Any money you use for betting needs to be separate from money you use for your daily life or anything else. How can you possibly expect to follow a strategy with money that was originally set aside to pay next week's rent with? You can't. This will help you to focus on the task of betting and remove any emotional strings attached to the money.

So what makes a good strategy or what should you look for in a strategy before you decide to implement it? Any good strategy needs to have a positive expectancy. This means that in the long run you will win. The hit rate of the strategy needs to be above 50% for you to be able to profit in the long run. An ideal win rate should be between 60 to 70%, because you will need to cover the fees and other expensive associated with betting. Is it feasible to expect you'll be able to find a system that has a 100% win rate? No, it isn't. The best you can do is find a system that has a positive expectancy and stick with it. In the long run you will make more money than you can possibly lose.

Keep whatever information and news you have about the teams as up to date as possible. Any changes in the teams makeup or factors that affect how the players play will great affect the potential outcome of a match. Make sure that you are constantly up to date on every aspect that affects the potential outcome of a match. Information is the key to winning at sports betting.

Answer 6

Even worse is the fact that their public announcer didn't even acknowledge it-SHAME ON THEM. I didn't know people were booing too. This one I am more up in the air about- a goal is scored on their team so boo-birds are the natural reaction. The blame lies with the announcer for not broadcasing the feat. I think alot of the boos would have then turned to cheers.

Answer 7

Absolutely...this shows that the Predator fans and organisation have no class. Modano is a future Hall of Famer and the all-time leading U.S.-born goal scorer and they BOO him? That's not right.

Answer 8

The fans may have not known. Heck barely anyone comes to thier hockey games so like Nashville knows nothing about hockey. But if they knew they wouldn't have booed him. Great job Modano!

Answer 9

I don't think they were booing the fact that he broke the American goal record, they were booing the fact that he scored period.

Most of the people at the game did not know he broke the record because the announcers at the arena did not bother to announce it which is a shame.

It should not have mattered he was in a visiting arena. It should have been announced.

Answer 10

Yeah, I'm a Stars fan and when i heard about that i was so mad.
I went to a Stars game against the Penguins and Ricci scored his 500th goal and all the stars fans stood up and clapped for the guy. We may have lost but still we have good fans.

And they did announce it and that was the reason why they DID BOO at the Record
