The North Stars were no joke of a franchise.

the Met Centre in Bloomington, Minnesota was built in time for the North Stars' first season in the NHL in 1967. It was considered by most players and fans alike at that time as one of the best arenas in the league. Players raved about the lighting, the great ice, and the spacious dressing rooms. Ultimately when it was taken down it took several implosions to demolish it as it had been built so well

I miss the North Stars. I grew up in the Delaware Valley, so thereby a Flyers fan from birth. But I always loved the North Stars. I was stunned when they moved. In fact, my love for hockey was never quite the same ever since. And I believe the 18 team NHL was the NHL at it's best..... 🚬😎

I grew up in Boston a Boston Bruins fan in the early 1970s....I still am, but a team in Bloomington who I followed all way to knocking off the Oilers and then making it all the way too the 91 cup finals I was glued to the games..The crowd was always sooo alive wow...Ever since then they have been my #2 always...My only problem is The name of the team' the logo of the team and color scheme should have been purchased and kept for a rainy day which was called the Wild.....Out of all teams that have jumped ship , whether the city got another team later down the road and had to rename their team it didn't matter as long as hockey was back..Well it was totally different for the North Stars..The logo, color scheme and the team name was so perfect it couldn't be anything other.....So when they lost all that to a city that had no business even having hockey it made me bummed...

An absolutely outstanding and well done documentary!! I’m in Calgary Alberta Canada. I always enjoyed watching televised home games of the North Stars from the Met. The camera angle had more of an overhead view of the ice surface that definitely enhanced the game overall. Thanks for sharing

Great history. For what it's worth, a couple of player names were pronounced differently. Dave Balon is bah-lone, and Andre Boudrias is BOO-drey-ah.

One correction; Masterton was in open ice, not in front of the Oakland goal, when he was sandwiched between two Seal players after passing the puck to a teammate

Not saying you are wrong, but the MPLS tribune said "in front of the Oakland goal".
@danbratten31032 жыл бұрын
My late Grandparents were at that game. The place went silent after the hit. It wasn't in front of the goal. You can tell by the pictures, no lines for the goal crease or face circles.

Yes, he was on open ice halfway between the blue line and the SW corner of the ice. Maybe 10 feet from the boards. I know this because when the North Stars retired his sweater, they hung it above the spot where his head hit the ice. I photographed the ceremony. I regret I never met the man.

@@danwhenesota2646 ..Hey, no worries..I really enjoyed the series. I recall the expansion in '67. Not really fair to the added 6, but the NHL was worried about the old WHL, which grew good fans, and was just about to get a tv deal, in the U.S. and Canada. NHL panicked, as usual! Good job..
