The greatest show in Las Vegas Tuesday night wasn't along the famed Strip – it was the National Hockey League franchise Vegas Golden Knights laying claim to the Stanley Cup championship in a game 5 win over the Florida Panthers. In so doing, the team set off celebrations befitting its host city.
The Golden Knights won the best-of-seven series by winning Tuesday's game 9-3, thanks to a hat trick from captain Mark Stone, three assists from center Jack Eichel and 31 saves from goaltender Adin Hill.
"Obviously, getting the iconic picture of kissing it (the Stanley Cup)," Hill said after the game, when asked about moments he'll cherish about the Stanley Cup title. "I thought it was going to be a little heavier – it felt lighter – maybe that's just the adrenaline."
