Lighting the Lamp With Rick Ackerman

Dallas has now had an NHL team for 22 seasons and has been quite successful, winning seven divisional titles, two Western Conference titles, two President's Trophies and one Stanley Cup championship, thanks to Brett Hull’s triple overtime goal in 1999 against Dom Hasek and the Buffalo Sabres. As most fans are already aware, the Stars began as the green-clad Minnesota North Stars, birth-mates with the Blues in the great expansion of 1967, which doubled the size of the NHL from six to 12 teams.
