Mike Modano is just a regular guy. He works hard to pay the bills, he is loyal to his employer, and he has a wife who won't keep her mouth shut.

Modano recently met with team officials to discuss the critical remarks his wife Willa Ford made about the team in an interview with ESPN.com. During the interview Ford blasted the team on issues such as the tension in the coaching staff, Modano's lack of quality linemates, and the team's decision to strip Modano of his captaincy. Modano discussed the interview with coach Dave Tippett, General Manager Doug Wilson, and numerous teammates, and he says he has learned to speak out more if something is bothering him.

So it appears that for now everything has been worked out, although we'll have to see what happens when Ford criticizes Modano's teammates for calling him a wuss who has his wife fight his battles for him.
