The real story behind the fall of the Minnesota North Stars isn’t bad attendance, or Minnesota “giving up on hockey.”
It’s a story about ownership decisions, league complicity, and a franchise that was undermined long before it ever left.
A thread. 🧵👇

Not only does the Governor's Victory Bell compete with the Civil ConFLiCT for the title of worst rivalry trophy, it is grammatically incorrect. It was started by the governors of both states. It should be the Governors' Victory Bell. Retire it already!

Since the Vikings don't need Max with Kirk back, can the Gophers get him for the rest of the year?

Admit there are big problems and start trying solutions. Stop using your mad libs-like responses. The schtick has no place in a dumpster fire and actually acts as kerosene. This will be tough for you as a slogan merchant but it’s absolutely necessary.

And we haven’t even gotten to your gameday shortcomings, which alone could provide enough difficult conversations to feed a very large village. Big changes need to happen immediately. Do nothing and you just confirm that you don’t get it.

PJ Fleck said he has difficult conversations for breakfast. I hope he’s hungry because tomorrow’s menu has a lot of courses!
All of the following are currently shit. Every aspect of your offense, your quarterback, your defenses inability to not blow coverages, your punt blocking

I thought all ball knowers knew that PJ Fleck was an awful gameday manager. I was wrong but they do know now.

Each week in the tailgate lot we improve our best. Can you say that @Coach_Fleck ? Good news is there is only three things you have to fix. Offense, defense and special teams. Btw, nice punt!

In today's college landscape where the blue bloods can't stock a roomful of 5 star QBs, there's no reason that Minnesota shouldn't be a very attractive landing spot for some of the top transfer portal quarterbacks.

It is disrespectful to the defense and special teams to have a quarterback and overall offense this bad. @Coach_Fleck hiring Brian Ferentz would possibly be an upgrade, things are almost that bad.

Are we really gonna pretend that the gym used to be puritanical? I very much remember Jane Fonda, Jamie Lee Curtis in that aerobics movie and the lady from the Buns of Steel commercials.

This clown Senator from Missouri who couldn’t do his homework before a hearing is the same dumbass who is trying to give Missouri Minnesota’s 1960 Natty, 66 years too late. Dude doesn’t know ball.
Who knew Jack Smith was a Caitlin Clark fan?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sen Schmitt mixed up Atlanta Hawks NBA with Iowa womens Hawkeyes college team while trying to trap Jack Smith over a Caitlin Clark game.

Iowa fans, there was just an invalid fair catch in the Texas-Tennessee game. Begin your years of bitching.
