From Tim Cowlishaw the Dallas Morning News,
“I came into the league and saw guys that were 32 and I said, “That’s not me. I’ll be done before then,’ “ he said. “Then 32 felt like it came and got here overnight. Now I hear young guys talking about not wanting to put in the work and I think, “Are you kidding me?’ “
Modano said he considered announcing his retirement at different points during the regular season when he was frustrated with his play.
“The first quarter of the season was really rough on me,” he said, recalling his struggles to surpass Phil Housley as the highest-scoring U.S.-born player in league history. “There were probably more times I didn’t feel I was as competitive as I wanted to be than there had been in the past.”
