Modano did a great disservice to his country AND to hockey with those childish, "you owe me" remarks. This guy makes about $4 million a year, and he's whining about a few hundred dollars for his wife to travel to watch him play? What about the parents of the amateurs we used to put on our teams, who used to pay their own way? Regular, hard working people who didn't make millions. He's a disgusting individual.
I don't think it was the cost that he was complaining about . . . it was the chaotic, disorganized nature of the whole thing that forced the players to scramble at the last minute to make travel arrangements.
