The Penguins were the heavy favorites heading into this series but fell behind twice in the series by dropping Games 1 & 3 before reeling off three straight to win the Stanley Cup in six games. In a decisive Game 6, the Penguins loaded roster finally took over and put the overmatched North Stars out of their misery with a lopsided 8-0 victory.
