Poor Dallas Stars.
The Wild stole from Stars’ history for their Stadium Series Alumni Game jerseys

When the NHL announced the Minnesota Wild would host one of the 2016 Stadium Series games, the obvious matchup was between the Stars and Wild. After all, the Stars used to be the Minnesota North Stars before the franchise moved south in 1993.
Instead, the league gave that spot to the Blackhawks. And to add insult to the whole thing, the Wild have decided to steal a piece of Stars franchise history for their alumni game!

On the other hand, these two franchises have got to stop stealing from each other at some point.
