My team didn’t make the playoffs this season. Even though I’m not emotionally invested, I’m still enjoying watching all the games. Who you got in the finals? #DropThePuck #stanleycupplayoffs https://www.instagram.com/p/CPzR58dne4v/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Puck drops tonight for the @NHL season opener 2018/2019. On March 11, 1965 NHL President Clarence Campbell announced the NHL will expand from 6 to 12 teams that will begin play in 1967, Oakland, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Minnesota were awarded expansion teams. May 25, 1966 they announced the team will be called the Minnesota North Stars, they played their first game on October 11, 1967 and skate to a 2-2 tie against the St. Louis Blues, Tragedy struck on January 13, 1968 when former US National Team Player Bill Masterson suffered a fatal hit during a game against the Oakland Seals, 2 days later on January 15, 1967 Masterson died at the age of 29 from what the doctors described as massive brain injury, to this date the only player to die from injuries sustained during an NHL game, the North Stars retired his number 19. In 1978 the North Stars and Cleveland Barons were both financially strapped and are in trouble of folding, Gordon and George Gund III owners of the Barons had a solution to merge both teams and the team will retain the name, colors and will remain in Minnesota and keep the history but the wealthier Gund's became majority owners, the team move from Smythe Division to Adams Division. In 1992 owner Norm Green were negotiating a move to Anaheim and will change the team to L.A. Stars but the Walt Disney Corporation are already in talks about an expansion team so the NHL convinced green to move the team to Dallas instead and let Disney have the expansion team in Anaheim that will become the Mighty Ducks, 25 years ago the Minnesota North Stars moved to Dallas to become the Dallas Stars, In 1996 Green's financial difficulties forced him to sell the team to Tom Hicks and in 1999 The Dallas Stars led by North Stars holdover Mike Modano(81 pts) and Richard Matvichuk with goaltender Ed Balfour (35 wins), Joe Nieuwendyk, Brett Hull, Jamie Langenbrunner, Grant Marshall, Sergei Zubov and Captain Derian Hatcher won the Stanley Cup, Hatcher became the 1st American Born Captain to win the #StanleyCup Dallas Stars ✖ New Era 59Fifty Fitted Cap. #Dallas #DallasStars #NHL #DropthePuck #Minnesota #MinnesotaStars #ClevelandBarons #NewEra https://www.instagram.com/p/BodRSYAAuuB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dx9519wmjszc
