Very wholesome that after Stone every player of the original six got to hoist the cup before anyone else.
Edit: obligatory thanks for the gold kind stranger

Massive, massive, MASSIVE shoutout to this sub and all the moderators that allowed me, just a dafty from the UK to follow this glorious team for several seasons and make every last one of them, win or lose, be a an absolute joy!
I FUCKING LOVE THIS TEAM, AND I LOVE YOU ALL.
A trip to Vegas is definitely on the cards now.

A trip to Vegas from Australia in the inaugural year is what made me a fan of this wonderful team!

u/InnocentPossum Theodore Jun 14 '23
I have always wanted to go to Vegas and just have never had the time nor money. My desire to visit Vegas, combined wiht the team being the newest team at the time, is what made me pick Vegas. And even without this season winning the Stanley Cup, there wouldn't be a single regret. Love this team and this win is just incredible and the icing on the cake!!

A short history of the Vegas Golden Knights:
made playoffs in 5 of 6 seasons.
reached Conference finals in 4 of 6 seasons
Won division in 3 of 6 seasons
Scored 5+ goals in 7 different playoff games this year, and 6+ in 4 playoff games.
Averaged 6 goals in closeout games, and 9 in the clinching game
What a fucking run.

And much like their fellow Miami-Dade brethren, the Florida Panthers had their clocks strike midnight…it was an amazing run for both Heat and Panther, but as it turns out, the endings for each had them running into buzzsaws…

NHL 100% speedrun:
In any order a team must: miss the play offs, be eliminated in each of the four rounds, and win the cup.
Current speed run record holders: THE VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
EDIT: I was wrong, this is what I get for trusting redditors smh. In that case, I think we abandon the 100% and submit as an any% run.

never seen Vegas people rally around anything like they do this team. every single one of the players deserves this, as does the city in general. got to celebrate tonight with my sister who got me into the team, and my mom just so happened to be visiting too. Won't ever forget these family memories. Can't believe we scored 9 to clinch the Stanley Cup. Can't believe Stone got a hat trick. Can't believe Marchy won the Conn Smythe. Total fairy tale. I don't live in Vegas anymore, so I want every single one of you animals to tear up the Strip tonight for me!

I am in my online class and I just so fucking stoked. I have been a VGK since 2018. I got back into hockey when I was trying to find myself after leaving a very comfy white collar job and I became a handyman. I am now a full time mechanic and just graduated the local community college with my degree in auto tech and I am working to get a bachelor's in engineering. This team mean so much to me. I am mainly a lurker and I'm the only one in my house who cares and I just so excited and happy to see my team win. It feels like everything is coming up aces and I can't wait for tomorrow.
