The Golden Knights’ games have always been a spectacle, rivaling the grandeur of the Las Vegas Strip. The team’s sword-fighting mascot takes the ice, followed by a legion of players making their entrance through the mirrored doors into the thunderous applause of the crowd. Winning the Stanley Cup has always been the goal for this team, and they achieved it with their signature Vegas flair. The Knights secured their first championship title in a stunning fashion, dominating the Florida Panthers with a resounding 9-3 victory on Tuesday night, according to the AP.
Coach Bruce Cassidy, paying tribute to the Knights’ short but impactful history, decided to start five of the original Vegas players commonly known as the Misfits, and placed the sixth player on the ice during the second shift. Cassidy expressed confidence in his team’s abilities the day before the game, and rightfully so, as they outperformed their opponents, turning a close game into a commanding 6-1 lead during the second period. The Knights’ nine goals tied the record for the most goals scored in a Cup Final. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman acknowledged the incredible atmosphere both inside and outside the arena, stating, “Vegas, you certainly know how to throw a party. This is a testament to what a great hockey market this is.”
