First title in club history: The Vegas Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup

class=”sc-29f61514-0 jbwksb”>

Big cheers in Nevada. The Vegas Golden Knights became the Stanley Cup champions after beating the Florida Panthers 9-3 in Game 5. Only the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942 and the Detroit Red Wings in 1936 had scored that many goals in a finals game.

Mark Stone is successful three times. The Canadian gave the Golden Knights a 1-0 lead halfway through the first period and later scored two more goals. He is the first player since 1922 to score a hat-trick in the title match.

But the hosts really get going in the second half: they score four goals within ten minutes and take a decisive lead to 6:1. Jonathan Marchessault may not have scored this time around, but after 13 goals and 12 assists in the final, the 32-year-old Canadian is named playoff MVP.

Sixth year title win

Wednesday night’s success sees the Vegas Golden Knights win the final series with 4-1 victories to be crowned Stanley Cup winners for the first time – in only their sixth season. Founded on June 22, 2016, they reached the finals in their debut season in 2017/18, but have no chance against the Washington Capitals. Now it succeeds with the first title win.

A team in the North American ice hockey league has never won its first title so quickly. The previous record was held by the Philadelphia Flyers, who celebrated their first championship in their seventh season in 1973/74.

Sovereign walkthrough of the Golden Knights

The Golden Knights played a brilliant season. Even in qualifying, no team in the West was better. In the playoffs, coach Bruce Cassidy’s team eliminated the Winnipeg Jets (4-1 wins), the Edmonton Oilers (4-2) and the Dallas Stars (4-2). In no series did they come under serious pressure. The same goes for the last series against the Florida Panthers.

For the first time in this year’s playoffs, the East Coast team failed to trip their favored opponent. The Panthers not only caused a sensation in the first round when they managed to turn the series against the top favorite from Boston, but also afterwards by eliminating the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Carolina Hurricanes. However, the Vegas Golden Knights were too strong in the Stanley Cup final. (SDA)
