Mirage of Destiny Quotes

“In Las Vegas, the odds on the North Stars winning the Stanley Cup were 10,000 to 1. On the Pittsburgh Penguins, they were 8 to 1.”
― Kevin Allenspach, Mirage of Destiny: The Story of the 1990-91 Minnesota North Stars

“The largest crowd the building could hold was ready. The Twin Cities were electric. Throughout the Midwest, even those who couldn’t name a North Star three months ago flocked around TV sets and leaned into their radios. People everywhere, at least the ones who cared about hockey, focused on Met Center. None of them had ever seen anything like this before. More than 30 years on, they still wait to see it again.”
