“Mike Modano Is America’s Greatest Scorer!”

I thought that was Wilt Chamberlain. Hi-yo. Regardless, in case you missed it, here’s Mike Modano last night scoring points 1,232 and 1,233 against the San Jose Sharks, breaking Phil Housley’s record for most points raked up by a U.S.-born pro hockey player. Notes Deadspin this morning, “Wayne Gretzky finished with 2,857 points, but that doesn’t make Modano’s record any less special. It’s still really, really good.” Really? –Robert Wilonsky
