Golden Knights become 3rd team ever to reach Cup final in inaugural season
Terrence Lee-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
The Vegas Golden Knights punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final and in doing so - as they have been doing all season - made history in the process.
With their win on Sunday afternoon the Golden Knights became just the third team in NHL history to reach the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural season, joining the Toronto Arenas who did so in 1918 and the St. Louis Blues in 1968.
Vegas also became just the seventh team in history to clinch three series on the road to reach the Cup final.
All this considered, these accolades pale in comparison to what could be if the team can manage four more wins this postseason.
