Phil Kessel is now a 3-time Cup Champion, without even breaking a sweat in the finals.

[@wakanda6754]

Kessel needs to play, and loose some fat.

2 With The Penguins🐧🖤💛 And 1 With The Golden Knights ⚔️🛡️.

Seeing a home team win a championship is so satisfying especially when it’s the Stanley cup

[@brandonmorris92]

This was just an expansion team only 6 years ago....😯 Unreal is the only way I can describe it....

[@icydiamonds3747]

I’m glad they finished it off just like the nuggets

[@this-is-ahmed]

I agree with you. It’s more fun and happy to see them win in front of cheering fans. Home team win is awesome. Not the visiting team win.

[@timbartschwolfman]

A visiting team winning a Championship on the road sends the fans of the Home team Embarrassed and Humiliated

[@CastleBravo187]

As a Kings fan I'm super happy for Martinez! Congrats Vegas fans ya'll are an incredible team, they earned it!

[@edschramm6757]

Yea, Martinez put in work. I also think, at least to me, seeing quick hoist the cup, even if he wasn't the lead goalie, softens the blow that was him getting traded at the deadline.

[@lavans06]

You forgot about Quick?

[@CastleBravo187]

@@lavans06 of course Quickie too! I meant to type that but had a brain fart apparently

[@FlyerHockeyPride]

Brayden McNabb is a former King too if I'm not mistaken too! 😁😁😁😁

[@edschramm6757]

@@FlyerHockeyPride Yea. I wasn't happy when we lost him to the draft, partially because we had already gotten weakened defensively after Voynov got sent back to Russia

[@geordiejones5618]

Greatest trophy in pro sports. The champions league trophy is pretty awesome too but the the Cup is just so unique and this tradition of lifting it on the ice by each player makes it better.

[@Steve-cu1ye]

So men kissing a trophy's turns u on 🌈

[@moharikram1687]

WC, CL and most association football trophy also lifted by all registered players. It is just not the main occasion like in Stanley Cup. The only different is the trophy in association football is team possession (Team, not owner), while the proof that you win the dang thing is the medal. Whilst in Stanley Cup, the players "Won" the trophy and the proof that you win is the name on the cup. Pretty similar. Unlike in NBA and NFL where owners got the most credit.

[@erickalessandro7137]

​@Mohar Ikram the rings are also a proof of winning Stanley Cup.

[@moharikram1687]

@@erickalessandro7137 Nah, rings is mostly obligation and acknowledgement that you are here when the team won. Lots of players got rings but not officially won since their name is not on the cup. Beau Bennett, Justin Abdelkader, Antti Raanta and so on got rings but non-official winner.

Wow 😳 9 goals amazing, I'm 35 and I never going to see something like that happens again 🎉🎉🎉🎉, 1000 of congrats. 👌💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@roshango125ab]

What im thinking about seeing the Knights win it is all their orginal players from the 2017-2018 expansion team. It's reminding me of 2000 Baltimore Ravens. Guys like Ray Lewis and Johnathan Ogden live forever in Baltimore as guys who were foundational pieces, and a championship became part of that foundation

[@JoelDJohnson1986]

I agree, and I'm from Baltimore, Maryland. If it wasn't for these guys, we wouldn't even have one Super Bowl ring. They established the Ravens as a contender.

[@imnotyourfriendbuddy1883]

ravens were not an expansion team. this is like if the new Brahns won 6 years after entering the league.

[@clyde642006]

As Las Vegan born & raised I’m full of pride seeing our Knights take it all! People said for decades that pro sports team would never be dumb enough to come to Las Vegas, and that if we ever did they’d never win a championship, now here it is we already have 2 Championship pro teams! The Knights and The Aces! All those negative nay-sayers that wouldn’t give Vegas a chance, how bout a huge piece of that humble pie??!!

[@SteveWillisIII]

TO HAVE WAYNE GRETZKY CALL THE VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS A MACHINE IN THE PLAYOFFS IS 😎 SO COOL. MY GOLDEN MISFITS....STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS 🏆

[@APR702]

What a perfect ending to win it in Las Vegas ! For all the Las Vegas natives our whole lives we always had to route for other teams . WE FINALLY have our own Las Vegas team and CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM THIS ONE IS OURS !

[@whome1636]

Man I remember that very first Knights game. And this. Wow!! ❤️

[@metalfreak1368]

As a Bruins fan its mixed emotions seeing Cassidy win the cup next season after being fired. Shows it wasn't coaching and comes down to how this team is put together.

[@dirty.dan37]

As long as the Panthers didn’t win it I’m OK with it

[@modeling300]

Really well deserved! They made it to the finals on a incredible fashion! Great team, great players! They realized how to outmuscle the Panthers and got there!

[@idiotidiot5821]

Lol the shot of Reilly Smith at 2:50 to 2:54 is shot like so perfect it looks uncanny like a music video lol

[@Gremlack13]

Congrats to such a young team. Wish sports media would actually cover this. They say that hockey isn’t as sellable a sport, but it can’t grow if it isn’t presented to a wider audience. Sports media only covers nfl and nba. Even mlb is neglected. No wonder these sports aren’t flourishing the way they should. Media coverage is killing these other sports.

[@user-un9ho2bv5q]

Sharks fan here. Huge congratulations to the Knights. Watching the best trophy in sports presented to this well deserving team brought tears to my eyes. Only wish I could have witnessed Patty Marleau or Jumbo Joe raise the cup. Now a whole summer without hockey :(

[@Highwayanimatic674]

Congrats Golden Knights had to wait 5 years later but makes it all the sweeter.

[@paulnguyen8910]

The NHL World Champions, the Las Vegas Golden Knights! Let's go do it again next year!!

[@jduke93]

So happy for Vegas. Loved them their first year when they were an expansion team and going all the way but couldn’t quiet win it all that year

[@InflatableConan]

So much respect to Bill Foley. He took a gamble (pun intended) putting an ice hockey team in the desert and look at us now. It's funny looking back at it in retrospect and hearing when all those so-called ESPN/NHL pundits claimed hockey wouldn't work here. Ignorance is bliss. Cup in six. Also, never forget when this team healed an entire city after 2017. Foley took an idea created from the very dusts of this legendary town and truly gave us something Vegas Born. Thank you again, Mr. Foley.

[@nicholasbenge9497]

Gamble paid off by hoisting the Cup

[@devilishfrost4795]

Both miami teams packed up its a good summer

[@Steve_Hunts96]

One of the absolute greatest moments of my life… watching my hometown team win the cup outside the arena in Toshiba Plaza… will cherish this FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

[@InflatableConan]

I was there, also. Best party I have ever been to. Be at Toshiba Plaza on Saturday at 9PM for our rally, bro! The fun ain't over yet!

[@Steve_Hunts96]

@@InflatableConan Ohhhhh I was there alright! Was probably 5-6 layers of people away from the stage itself? Got great views of the players now locked into photographic memory, the sight of Mark Stone lifting the cup etched into my soul, and the raining of streamers & confetti made me feel like I was in heaven. I saw the drones too when they made the text & images in the sky, and that sent my enthusiasm through the roof!! That parade & rally was insane, and the overall size of the crowd made me feel like I was celebrating New Years… hell it might’ve been a BIGGER crowd than New Years typically is!! Craziest, most amazing week of my life witnessing this cup win, and that parade/rally!!!

[@InflatableConan]

@@Steve_Hunts96 I loved how drunk Wild Bill was.. 😂 They said about 300,000 fans showed up for the parade. And the so-called hockey pundits said ice hockey would never work in the desert. Ignorance is bliss. Cup in six. And my God, that surprise drone art show was literally mind-blowing. That was hands down the best championship rally of all-time. We're the f'n Stanley Cup Champions! Sounds so good to say that!

[@joeygratton1426]

You know, it doesn't matter who you want to win. Watching the presentation of the Stanley Cup is quite an exhilarating thing to see.

[@RobdaVegasMailman]

Seeing it in person is something incredibly special...even when the wrong team lifts it. That said, in 2018 I did enjoy seeing Ovi finally get to lift the Cup and seeing T.J. Oshie have those moments with his father before he passed.

[@Celluloidwatcher]

Congratulations to the six-year-old Vegas Golden Knights franchise for completing the "Six-Year Plan" of winning Lord Stanley's Cup. I didn't see Game 5 because I switched cable packages a week ago, meaning no TNT. However, I did the next best thing by coming on KZbin to watch highlights of the game and the trophy ceremony. Great to see a new team reach greatness like this. I know this overshadows that first Finals appearance in 2018, which was a loss. But this expansion club has REALLY expanded into a champion. Kudos to everyone in the organization and the fans of Las Vegas. Now, it's on to the victory parade on the Strip.

[@tomc2376]

impossible to name my favorite player on this year's VGK team. and that's the biggest compliment I can give.

I'm so glad that the Golden Knights won it all but I think we were robbed of an amazing and dramatic final if it were the Boston Bruins with their new coach against the Las Vegas Golden Knights with Bruce Cassidy behind the bench. What an amazing series that would have been!

[@haysbrickell9579]

In their 4 series clinching games, Vegas outscored their opponents an unbelievable 24-6. That statistic is so mind boggling that it has to be unpresidented. In addition, in 22 playoff games Vegas had 12 players with 10 or more points and 4 players with 20 or more points. It all really staggers the imagination.

[@haysbrickell9579]

Oops, that should have been unpreCEdented (very bad spelling), the 24-6 goal differential never happening before and likely never happening again

[@XanaxDust214]

Not a huge fan of both Stanley finals teams this year, but I tip my hat to the Panthers to make it to the finals. A very valiant and resilient team that went through 3 teams with a combined point total of 359 points, and with only 4 loses total going through those 3 teams. I know they probably don't feel like it now, but hopefully they know how well of a job they did this postseason. Majority of people probably did not expect them to do much this postseason, let alone the unfathomable ride they actually did have!

[@JBM425]

“Back when,” the captain was the only one who would skate around with the Cup, and his teammates would skate behind, and they would get to hold it in the locker room. Sometime within the last two decades, that changed to each player getting a brief spin after the captain skated it around the ice.

[@waterprophet]

Coming from just a fan of the NHL, we need to revisit the expansion draft. There is no reason why an expansion team should even smell a cup in the first 6 years of existing. Even the kraken getting to the second round is rather ridiculous. You see teams like the red wings or coyotes who have been struggling for years, and they are just handed players. I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I just can't help but be frustrated. Either give the teams more players to protect or find another way... I just think it's just all too easy to pick good players. Have to struggle to make a good team, and I think that's what makes it so special to win. All that said, congrats, knights.
