Golden Knights tame Panthers to capture 1st Stanley Cup in just 6th year of existence

The Vegas Golden Knights captured the franchise's first Stanley Cup in just its sixth season of existence on Tuesday after closing out the Florida Panthers at home with a 9-3 win in Game 5 of the finals.

"Unbelievable," Stone said. "The look in my teammates eyes when I got it, one of the craziest feelings I've ever had. I can't even describe the feelings in my stomach right now. It's everything you can imagine. The grind of an 82-game season, four playoff rounds. You grind and you grind and you grind."

Stone got Vegas going halfway through the first period on the penalty kill, patiently waiting out Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky before roofing his ninth goal of the playoffs, capitalizing on a miscommunication between Panthers forwards Sam Bennett and Carter Verhaeghe.

THIS IS WHY HE WEARS THE C!!!!!!!!!!!!
