The Minnesota Wild beat the Dallas Stars 5-2 in Game 6 in St. Paul to take the series 4-2 and advance to Round 2. Matt Boldy added late empty-net goals to seal the victory. It is Minnesota's first playoff series win since 2015 and sets up a second-round matchup with the Colorado Avalanche.

Beating the Dallas Stars is extra sweet for old heads who remember the North Stars. Congrats to the Wild.

I quit watching hockey and caring about hockey when the North Stars moved to Dallas. To watch my team move away to fucking Dallas from Minnesota to fucking Dallas. No.

Always loved the classic North Stars logo. What a throwback! 🏒

As a Dallas Stars fan, The Wild were awesome during this series. Hope you guys get the best of Colorado. Will be rooting for you. Congratulations, soak it in. Hockey playoffs are the best. ENJOY

The fact that the North Stars didn't become the Lone Stars is the greatest marketing miss of the century

I showed this to my boyfriend and he just said “Fuck Norm Green!”.

Moved when I was 3. The Wild are not the North Stars. But still...fuck Norm Green.

Live in Dallas but Minnie always has a place in my heart. The '91 North Stars and their "loudest ever" fans at the Met Center convinced me to use my airline employee passes to fly to MSP. Could only watch from a local bar since tix were gone but since then I've wanted a cup for MN!

Fuck Norm Green and fuck Dallas. Go Wild!

I'm an even older head who remembers the Cleveland Barons being folded into the North Stars.

Good night to be a Minnesota sports fan across the board.

As a #Canucks fan who cried over the departure of Quinn Hughes, as well as the general ignorance about his enormous talent, I am absolutely delighted to see this series win!

Jon Wallace🇨🇦2

Now that my Ottawa team is out, I just love seeing new blood making it! Go EVERYONE not normally in playoffs!! 🥳😅

Steve 🇨🇦2

I'm torn. As a Canucks fan I hate Dallas, but it also sucks to see Quinn do so well

Seriously...just take the name, the logo, and the colors back!

They never should have played in the first round - ridiculous bracket the NHL has created.

Congratulations to the Dallas Stars & their Captain Jaime Benn, who accomplished their goal of not losing in the Conference Finals again this year

FINAL: The Minnesota Wild win 5-2 and advance to the second round for the first time since 2015. The Dallas Stars fail to reach the Western Conference final for the first time since 2022.

The Dallas Stars lost because Norm sucks. It’s a proven fact.

The Dallas Stars have some tough questions to ask themselves this summer.. They seem to be at a crossroads. They can start by trading Jason Robertson to Winnipeg.

Matt Boldy scores another empty net goal from behind his own goal line. 5-2 the Wild win Game 6 and take the first round series 4-2. The Dallas Stars fail to win a playoff series for the first time since 2022.
