The Islanders open up the finals with a statement. Larry Landon gets 3 assists. New York scores two goals in each period. Minnesota can’t get anything until the score is 5-0! New York wins the opener 6-1. Game 2 starts with Ray Bourque scoring early. Chris Chelios answers, but Bourque and Tim Kerr take over. Before the first period ends, both players have 2 goals and 2 assists. It’s 4-1 after a period. The Islanders add a few goals to salt it away. New York looks too strong for the North Stars. 6-2 NY takes game two.

Bourque has a big game two, helping give the Islanders a 2-0 series lead!

With game three tied at 2 heading into the third, the North Stars take their stand. This is the fightback they needed. Dave Taylor gets his 11th. After Bernie Federko ties it for the Islanders, Brent Ashton scores 2 minutes later, and Dave Hunter adds some insurance. The strong third period gives the North Stars a 5-3 win! The fightback continues in game four. Randy Wood and Dino Ciccarelli give Minny a 2-1 first period lead. Joel Otto then scores 2 goals, and assists on 2 others! That’s a 4 point night from the center. 6-3 Minnesota ties the series.

Joel Otto is key to Minnesota's game four win to tie the series!

New York gets two early 2nd period goals to take a lead in game five, but Minnesota responds with 2 late 2nd period goals to tie it. The teams then exchanged goals again in the third, which forces an overtime. In overtime, long time North Star, Darryl Sittler wins it at the 4:54 mark! Minnesota takes it 5-4, and lead the series! New York hasn’t lost 3 in a row all season, until now! Game 6 is wild. Take a look at the first period summary. I can’t really relay what happened well enough to even try!

7 goals and a Minnesota lead after a period. It looks like the scoring would continue. After both teams getting a goal in the first 2 minutes of the second, the goalies shut the door. Dave Tippett would tie the game just seconds into the third. Neither team could grab a lead, which means overtime for the 2nd straight game. It takes 10 minutes, but Lucien DeBlois makes sure the series will go 7. He scores for NY, to win it 6-5!!

Deblois' goal forces game 7!

Game 7

Moments into game 7, a Brent Ashton shot hits Dino Ciccarelli, it deflects by Phil Myre, into the net, giving Minnesota a 1-0 lead! 5 minutes later, Ciccarelli gets his 2nd of the game, making it 2-0. NY outshoots Minnesota 11-4 in the first, but they trail.

Ciccarelli has Minnesota out infront!

Early in the 2nd, Darryl Sittler extends the lead to 3. Tim Bothwell then scores the North Stars 4th goal on their 7th shot. Phil Myre picked a hell of a time to have his worst game! Brent Ashton makes it 5-0 and it’s only a matter of time now! After years of failure, with a 5-2 win, the Minnesota North Stars have won the Stanley Cup!!
