@tinkletim2 I've played hockey at a hitting level for 15+ years, and I've never seen a motion quite like that before. Being from Minnesota, I grew up watching Modano so I know he's a professional and there was nothing malicious about this, but still...I cannot at all understand what the hell he was doing here.
Just to make sure all of you know. Mike Modano would be the last guy in the history of the NHL to ever do this on purpose. Its so sad that it happened, I feel horrible for Heward
That's... really weird. Modano's not the type to do that on purpose, to the best of my ability, but that was a weird move. All I can figure is he thought he was about to fall and tried to swing his momentum up to right himself and it just went horribly wrong.
the worst cut was malarchuks but the worst ever accident was the one when in 1968 with the seals and someone else when a guy was hit to the floor and had a serious head injury and never regained concioiusness that was really scary
Warrior is right. Damn good thing it didn't get his eye. Wow. Malarchuck was definitely the worst. Didn't Olie Jokinen catch his teammate with a skate in the corner and cut his neck? I know it happened a few years ago but I can't remember who caught the skate.
i still like Heward, not making fun of him, but i like how the announcers are like "heward is severely cut... we'll be back". They say it as if it is nothing.
@noblenights if you watch carefully, you can see he skate gets caught, which forces it to arc back...I still don't know why he jumped though..probably a natural reactoin
You guys most be kiddin..mike modano is the best hockey player..he rules..i luv him so much!! he didnt mean too..ur jelous cauz hes better than u..ouch!!!
i agree that this was not an intentional act in any way shape or form but bringing your skate up that high in a high traffic area was not the best decision for modano, modano is a great person and athlete and personally apologized to heward about this and heward said no apology needed for an accident, oh and it was quite sad to see hewy go to the kings come deadline
It looks more like he stopped shorter than he intended, possibly because he overestimated his distance from the boards, and that the "jump" was more of a reaction to the boards suddenly being there. I highly doubt someone with as much skill and experience as modano would randomly jump and kick his legs out like that. Even Heward acknowledges it as a pure accident
@ColinGWood dude stfu, it was an accident you dumb fuck. Happens when you play a hard hitting, fast, rough game with blades on your feet. Damn ppl are stupid as hell
It looks to me like he was spinning his leg around to throw a hip back into the guy who checked him into the boards. I've done that a thousand times, but never with my foot that high, and never has another guy come in at that unfortunate a time. I'd call it a preventable accident. He doesn't neccesarily deserve a suspension, but he should be smarter than that. A few inches lower and Heward is dead.
I can't think of any reason that Modano would put his foot up that high. The puck wasn't in the air, and he definitely didn't do it to keep his balance. That being said, I don't think it was intentional, either. It's just an unfortunate accident.
That wasn't intentional, Modano isn't the kind of player that would throw a cheap shot. I don't think any player would do that (Other than Sutton or Tucker). Heward is a trooper, pool of blood and a 10 CM cut, and he still got up quicker than Briere.
Talking to some people who were at the game (the two people sitting in the front row above the Pulte sign) said they didn't think it was intentional. They said Modano looked very concerned and a bit rattled after the incident. I don't think it was intentional.
@Maverick197 Lol you cant be serious... For starters hes not even looking behind so I dont think he intentionally did a spinning heel kick to purposely cut heweard... wtf bro .
Shut the fuck up, idiot. Try watching the fucking video. It wasn't intentional, but it was reckless and stupid on Modano's part. Heward didn't have his head down, and regardless, even if he did, Modano's skate shouldn't be that fucking high in the air.
OUCH!

The reason Modano puts his leg up is so that he can twist his body instead of going dead ahead into the board. Still quite stupid
