As NHL.com's Nick Cotsonika pointed out, the animated sitcom had the Stanley Cup in Las Vegas with Homer Simpson and Ned Flanders long before the Golden Knights existed.

The picture is from "Viva Ned Flanders," the 10th episode of Season 10, in which Homer takes Ned on a trip to Las Vegas. While there, they become intoxicated and end up marrying two cocktail waitresses.
Golden Knights defenseman Luca Sbisa offered this explanation: "Apparently, Matt Groening knows a guy or is a guy who has time travel. I saw this video (online), and there's proof after proof that somebody (time-traveled)."
"I don't want to read too much into it," he added. "But I like where their head is at."
