Welcome to What If Week here at Gone Puck Wild. With the summer doldrums in full effect, and not much happening on the Kaprizov or Rossi fronts, we are going to dive into the realm of speculation and alternative history to ponder what might have happened if things had gone slightly different in the world of Minnesota hockey. First up, we rewind the clock to a previous organization, a previous century, and the last time a Minnesota hockey team was in the Stanley Cup Final.
It’s 1991. The Minnesota North Stars are finishing up their first season under new ownership.
