The Vegas Golden Knights won their first Stanley Cup by thrashing. Coach Bruce Cassidy’s team won the fifth game of the final series against the Florida Panthers with a score of 9:3 and, six years after its founding, took the crown of the NHL for the first time.
Winger Mark Stone was the match-winner for the Gambling City franchise with a hat-trick. “I can’t describe the feeling in my stomach, it’s everything you can imagine,” Stone said after the win: “The rigors of an 82-game, four-round playoff season – you toil and toil and toil , and at the end of the day you’re the last team standing. It’s incredible.”
Vegas has only been playing in the league since the 2017/18 season – and with great success. The Golden Knights reached the finals in their first year, but were defeated by the Washington Capitals. On their way to the final series, Vegas had also knocked out the Edmonton Oilers around German superstar Leon Draisaitl.
