10:11 AM ET 08.07 | While Mike Modano has said he has no problem with Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk and the way the Stars parted ways with their most tenured player, his wife sees it differently. Modano told reporters in Detroit on Friday at the news conference to announce his signing of a one-year contract with the Red Wings that Mandy Modano, who goes by the stage name Willa Ford, wants her husband to play well in part to show the Stars they were wrong to let him go.

Sorry Mandy (or should I call you Willa?), your husband's production has gradually declined over the past 3-4 years, or haven't you noticed already. I don't see it go up much in Detroit.

Is she going to suit up for him?

I wonder how that Ford drives. Does the seat go back easy, does she run hot

Deffinetely a cut above a model T. She purrs like a kitten. Low emissions. Might even be by-fuel.

The Wings sure like them older players. Subject to getting hurt alot, although Todd Bertuzzi played all season without, I can see by the pic a groin pull sometime this season

to quote www.downgoesbrown.com ( off season winnders and losers blog, under winners section )

Detroit Red Wings - Boosted their offensive depth chart with the signing of free agent center Mike Modano, who is presumably the son of that guy who was really good for the Minnesota North Stars back in the early 90s.

Are they sure Mandy Modano isn't her "stage" name?

Mandy - worthy of being loved - looks up to it, alright. Accusations of the mendacious Stars aside, Willa y'no come haim agin' - a Ford to Detroit, could anything be more natural. Next thing ya know they'll be getting back into racing with a new cross between the Cobra-Mustang and the Mark II - The Modano.

Ya and I bet the hydrolicks work just fine! Piston goes in smooth, and comes out just oiled enough! Mikey you must have stopped driving that Ford so hard, as she looks like new!!!

August 7, 2010  06:27 PM ET

OH! I see, she has been spitting and sputtering, and wants to show the Wings that she can swallow her pride by cleaning that dirty fuel injector..........or she could change it out for a bigger better model, that I like to call.............me ;)

Wonder if her engine runs clean? I guess I'd have to put the dipstick in and smell the oil ;)
