That’s right, the Vegas Golden Knights made history in Las Vegas and won the Stanley Cup! CONGRATULATIONS!
They defeated the Florida Panthers in five games, winning the final game 9-3. It was the first Stanley Cup championship for the Golden Knights, who have only been in existence for six seasons. The victory is a major triumph for the city of Las Vegas, which had never had a professional sports team win a championship before.
The Golden Knights were led by a number of key players, including Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty, and Jonathan Marchessault. Stone was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the most valuable player of the playoffs. The Golden Knights’ success was also due in part to their strong goaltending, led by Robin Lehner and Marc-Andre Fleury.
The Golden Knights’ Stanley Cup victory was a historic moment for the city of Las Vegas and for the NHL. It showed that even a new team in a non-traditional hockey market can compete for the ultimate prize.
There is a championship parade on Saturday. The parade will begin at 7 p.m. PT at Flamingo Road and end at Tropicana Boulevard. The parade is expected to take about two hours, with a rally at the end at Toshiba Plaza in front of T-Mobile Arena.
Congratulations Las Vegas Golden Knights!!!
