I think that was classy having the players still remaining from their inaugural year hoist the cup first. Congrats to the Knights.
+1.The 6 misfits means alot to them. Starting 5 out 6 of them is legendary
Just so happy for those guys and for the city! Viva Las Vegas!
@ralphnaldoza7958 Im sure they would have started carrier if they could. Cant have 4 forwards tho, at least as far as ik
Bruce started them too. They got announce as starters tonight 😍. Love bruce!!!
Totally corrupt. Referee's controlled the series 100% If you think it's not rigged then you're ignorant.
Bruce Cassidy let go by the Bruins to then win the Stanley Cup in his first term with Vegas is one of the most badass F you's in hockey :')
And Florida giving Smith and Marchessault to Vegas so they wouldn't take players like Alex Petrovic..
@@Thomas_667 I don't pay much attention to the trades unless it's from my own team(Blackhawk) 😅
honestly as a Bs fan it's hard to compare, i think cassidy already won long ago and had the middle finger up as soon as vegas hired him- he went to a better team/organization. these knights wouldve stomped that 2019 bruins team into the dirt imo, even the most dominant bruins teams i've watched don't come close to what i just watched vegas do
This whole run was an F You for Boston and all the haters
Having Martinez giving the cup to Quick!... What a great moment!
I'm so glad there were still many original Golden Knights on this roster that were able to hoist the Stanley Cup. Congrats Vegas!
Knights fan here. Been following hockey even before they came to town, and during then I never would’ve thought we’d get a hockey team in Vegas. Hell, I never thought I’d be around to see that same team win a cup! Major props to the Panthers, they ran an absolute gauntlet to get out of the east. Upsetting Boston, Toronto and Carolina is nothing to scoff at, nothing but respect 🙏 All in all, great run for both teams and a hell of a finish! GO KNIGHTS GO!!!
So cool to see Johnathin Quick get the first goalie pass to hold the cup from his old teammate from LA. 🎊 🎉 he has always been my fav goalie cool to see a 3rd Stanly and hat 🧢 s off to Hill 👏🏻
Rare footage of Gary not getting booed
That's because his name is all over this team. He made sure they won.
Nice to see some hockey fans have class.
@@user-xl7cm9gg1k anything can happen in Vegas!
He got booed.
We're too pumped to boo anyone right now
Stephenson won it as a Capitals player, against Vegas in 2018 as a fourth liner. Then wins it as a Vegas player on their first or second line. Craziness
It goes without saying: the Stanley cup IS the greatest sports trophy! There isn’t even a close second! Congrats to the Golden Knights! They are truly the best NHL team in 2022-2023!
As an Avs fan and the salt the Knights give me, there is just something really special about men raising the cup for the first time, congrats Vegas!
It should've been you and us in the first round, not f#cking Nashville tbh
Nothing will top this night for me but "after 22 years...RAYMOND BOURQUE" came pretty damn close.
Fun fact. Cup has been raised twice in this building
Blues fan here! So happy to see my boys Pietrangelo and Barbashev hoist the cup again! Congrats Knights, enjoy this moment!
your team was fun to watch in 2019!
Your blues were amazing in 2019🤝
Jack Eichel felt good to see 🔥
After all the setbacks in his career, it IS nice to see him with a Cup BEFORE McDavid.
Having lived in Las Vegas for 36 years, I think this is the happiest I've ever been !!!! 😁😁👍👍
It's right up there with April of 1990.
@@MarlinDartLV doesn't win often, but when we do, it's in blowout fashion! 🏀🏑
Born and raised since 1982 and this is a truly magical moment.
Congratulations your team was gifted a cup
same. Diehard Pens fan but I lived in Vegas half my life so VGK winning the Cup made me smile. Well deserved.
I think we’re looking at the beginning of a Golden Dynasty.
congratulations! Zach whitecloud you are an inspiration to a whole generation of indigenous hockey players! and to the rest of the team good job! you played good hockey!
What kind of name is Whitecloud? A STANLEY CUP WINNER kind!!!!!!
All cultures helped to make this team a Champion!
Congrats Bruce Cassidy-from a still healing Bruins fan
Congratulations VGK! It feels good to go to work tomorrow knowing your home team won in the Championship !!!!👏👏
Congratulations Vegas it’s fitting that the first major championship be won in hockey
Seeing Brossoit get to lift the cup along with everyone else who really helped make this season possible is so sweet! Go Knights Go!
Congratulations to Vegas! You earned it! From a lifetime Penguins fan.
Lets go Pens!! Congrats to the knights, they didn't win it with the flower, glad about that. I didn't like the knights because of that move. Now that he is not there anymore, I'm good with it.
Never underestimate Bill Foley, he is a ruthless man.
Respect to the champions. Incredible how much this team has accomplished in such a short period of time. Great to see an owner who wanted and expected to be headed towards a championship from day one. A true winner.
they got a lot of good players from different teams ,you'll see seatlle do the same soon . ...they have one drafted player playing and there core is aging and there farm system is not that good at all ..they will look like expansion team soon ...but congrats they kind of have to win in this window of time with these players
@@johnniebear1708 cope
@@JimmyRussle He's not wrong
They were basically gifted the cup
@@earthquakkejake9894people say that. With no evidence. No proof. Nothing. They say that because their team loat. While Vegas wins. A LOT
Love that the 6 original Golden Knights all got the Stanley Cup early on
Every player on the Knights last season earned that ring. Even the players that stepped in from Henderson to play a handful while the main lineup guys recovered from injuries. This team is deep and are still the deepest team in the league. just glad to be a fan and cannot wait for the future and what is to come! Go Knights Go! Uknighttherealm!
What a beautiful moment for our city of Las Vegas!
As a bitter Leafs fan, I'm upset. As a hockey fan I appreciate what Vegas did. Congrats to everyone who enjoys this win. You deserve it more than any Canadian franchise.
As a bitter leafs fan it's crazy how far off we are from a Stanley Cup. A very missmanged franchise unlike Vegas.
As a Leafs fan this was a great example of a team showing up and playing with consistency.
90% of the players on VGK are Canadian, so don't feel too bad.
@@errollleggo447still doesn't count, only the location of the team counts. Canadian players don't even want to play for poverty Canada 😂
@@SabresGuy87 Sabres fan calling others poverty?
I loved when they used to skate around as a team with the cup
The Capitals did that and got flashed by a lady while doing it. It was the only time their eyes left the cup lol
They all took a lap together after
they did in the end after everyone involved with the team got to hoist it.
I've never been so happy for Vegas to win a professional sport. CONGRATULATIONS, GOLDEN KNIGHTS!
Lol Wow. 6 years in. As a Leafs fan congrats. We going to 60 years without.
Lol and 30 years for any Canadian team for that matter
The year before Vegas entered the league...the Leafs were dead last and their best player was Leo Komorov. Vegas had the pick of every single team in the NHL's #4 D man. I'd swap out the entire Leafs D now for such an opportunity.
Vegas Golden Knights, my favorite team since the 17/18 season. And I have watched them since then, believed in them. And finally the Stanley Cup is ours! Congratulations to all the fans of this team
Congratulations to the Vegas Golden knights ❤❤ 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Im so proud of them.🏆🏆🏆🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊💙💙💙
Congratulations Jack Eichel
respect to the original Knights lifting the cup first
Thank you Golden Knights for the great season! Bruce Cassidy and the whole team worked hard to make this happen!
Just five years from begining to Stanley Cup. Extraordinarily. Congrats for all Golden Knights !
Congrats VGK!!! from Toronto
What a party. Nice to see Eichel come all the way back from neck surgery to win it all. A likeable group of guys- great job boys.
I love my team and I love my home. I'm so proud.
Loving the people saying this was set up by Bettman 😂😂😂😂. I bet we also never went to the moon either 😂😂😂
4:56-5:31 This was beautiful, and in a sense, bittersweet for me. I congratulate Vegas, but I’ll never forget what these two did for my Black and Silver.
As a former Kings fan and current Knights fan, I’m very proud that my Golden Knights were able to get each of those two one more ring and opportunity to lift the Cup.
I know exactly how you feel watching Pietrangelo and Barbashev skate with it again.
its cool that they were back to back in lifting the Cup! alec an quicky lifting it three times is beyond dreams stuff.
My only complaint about tonight was allowing that 3rd Florida goal. I wanted Alec Martinez to have the game winning goal 9 years to the day that he scored the Cup winner for the Kings.
We got them #3
Dallas Stars fan here proud to cheer for Vegas Knight's welcome to the NHL permanently Vegas deserves it.
Thanks, that was a classy thing to say. Your team is damn legit.
@@phototrap1 oh we're different than cowboys fans lol 😂. Seriously good sportsmanship is important as much as the growth of this sport and Vegas Knight's have really brought glory to this sport. I'm from Texas and love hockey the most , I mean come on Vegas is hot too and this is the most air-conditioned sport ever lol 😂
@@williammartin4368well not on Twitter but ur a true fan not blaming the refs
Ive lived in vegas my whole life. I wasnt sure the city would back a pro team bcuz everyone is from other parts of the country and has allegiance to other teams. Tourism is citys bread and butter. I was wrong. Im not really a hockey fan but T Mobile is incredible venue.its unreal to win a championship in just 6 years.
It's way easier to cheer for an original team not a failure from let's say Oakland for example when what you said is so true about most of us being from elsewhere and have allegiance to another team. I've been here since 77 and will always be a Steelers fan
@@vegastjg wow me too. Im steeler fan since 80. Like huge fan. I used to cut out all newspaper clippings with game stats as kid and i have some cool memorbilia. You goin to Steeler vs Raiders week 3?
Jack Eichel getting a Stanley cup before Mcdavid 💀💀💀💀
It’s because McDavid is wasting his career in Edmonton, that team will never be built to win a cup if they can’t find competent defenseman and consistent goalies
Takes a team to win a cup not one person
mcdavid perhaps should leave. Kings maybe?
Good for him, the Sabres did him dirty and so did the fans
@@tinyrick1853It’s because NHL needs new markets.. Open your eyes
I am a Bruins fan but I believe they played so hard and are a great team they scored alot of goals. God bless them. Nice to watch them win the Stanley cup. It is so hard to win this cup. Classie bunch of men
I'm very happy for these men they played so hard. Hopefully they will win more cups.
I have watched virtually every game over the last six years. This is a great moment for this team and the Las Vegas community. The VGK's performance on the ice was championship caliber, and they have won the prize. Beyond that, the organization led by Bill Foley is an example of an organization dedicated to the community. Beside their extraordinary performance on the ice, the VGK players are positive role models, loving husbands, and dedicated fathers. Looking forward to more exciting hockey in the future.
Two old buddies. I literally cried when Martinez passes it to Quick.
Yea, you just had to experience that 2014 cup run to have those feels, I did the same.
It means a lot to see the remaining Golden Misfits handing the Cup off to each other
As a hockey fan I enjoyed watching the knights win it all they where fun to watch , first time winning the Stanley Cup and all there players contributed to win also Bruce deserves to be a Stanley Cup winning coach 💛
21:02 Barbashev 😂😂😂😂☝🏼
Hockey in the West is the Best - Congrats to the Vegas Knights. And the crowd is a power too
as a kings fan...5:12...that was great ...happy for you two and the knights
Happy for so many of these guys. I don’t cheer for teams, but I cheer for players, and especially the original 6 on this team have been so good. Mark Stone with all he’s gone through. Aidan Hill with his journey from being a top prospect to can’t stop getting traded. Eichel and being held hostage to have a surgery on his neck for a year! Always a feel good night to see the cup get passed around, and no shortage of people to feel happy for.
"Mark Stone with all he's gone through". Man, y'all don't even know the half of it. You're referring to his struggles in Vegas, but this guy lived an entire other life over in Ottawa. His struggle goes REALLY deep into the past! And he's been an absolute warrior through 100% of it! 💪
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid oh, I’m aware. He’s one of the guys you can’t justify rooting against.
Всем большой привет из Минска!!Болел за Флориду:)Поздравляю Вегас с победой!
I love my knights baby we deserve it all!
As a Knights fan and a Nevada native although I live in Reno, I said the Knights were gonna win the Stanley Cup within their first ten years of existence and they did. Now let's see what happens with the Seattle Kraken in the coming years.
From Reno myself and I've been saying the same thing from the first month of the inaugural year. We should've had it sooner but I'm not complaining 😅. Cheers man
yeah wish Marc Andre Fleury was still on the team
I predicted the playoff run for year 1
Good to see Phil the Thrill get #3. Nice guy, tries hard. Miss you in Pgh, but glad for your success.
Yeah lucky Phill! Guarantee there's some jelly pens out there seeing blueger and Phil win it...Me being 1! Great for them. Always loved Phil
Still loves the game
Now all those commentators are Sirius NHL radio Who couldn't stand to say their name has to say it over and over... And all those commentators who kept saying every team would beat them now have to eat their words!
Congrads Vegas from the Carolinas well deserved
best trophy in all of sports and its not even close IMHO
Golden Knights 2024 Stanley Cup Champions 🏆
I'm glad to see Eichel with instant success, after getting away from Buffalo.
From Russia, congratz to Barbashev. Радуй нас дальше, красава
we love him here!
Great celebration coverage. All congrats go to the Golden Knights for a pretty robust goal scoring opportunities in the five Stanley Cup playoffs games. It was nice they won it in their own home stadium. The key to winning was that Florida just ran out of gas in five final games against the Golden Knights. Better goal tending and better control of the puck on the ice were critical factors. It was their moment to shine and they did.
Gary Bettman needs to be fired
This crap is old.
looks like hes coming down with parkinsons.
Hill was the glue congrats on the win🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love that the OG’s got to hoist it first
My L.A. Kings disrespected QUICKIE. Look @ Rob Blake now. Congratulations only 2 my former Kings but sour night. Congrats 2 Vegas
those 2 cups are special though
@@bobbowie9350 Very Special until Quick was GUTTED. We gutted copley too
My Stars!!! So close. Congrats VGK!!
Yea, To bad Jamie benn had single handedly destroyed your teams chance at the cup. Karma. Stones hatty and that cup lift should be burnt into benns memory.
Damn, Mark Stone looks like Ovechkin in 2018😉
They don’t even know to boo bettman here lmfao
Yes!!!! Thanks to tha players from Canada.😊😊😊
As a kings fan love seeing Martinez pass the cup to quick. Lovely to see
My only regret about Game 5 was letting Florida score that 3rd goal. Otherwise, Martinez would have been credited with the Cup winning goal on the 9th anniversary of his double OT Cup winner against the Rangers.
I am so happy for Vegas and all of their fans. I am just a bit jealous that eichel won a cup before McDavid but it is what it is. Oilers got it next year losing to the cup winners twice in a row especially with oilers players in cup or bust mode they know what next season means a lot. Unfortunately as an oilers fan I lost a lot of respect for petrangelo after his attempt to injure driasiatl. Oilers won’t forget about that and the and won’t can’t wait to play you guys next season. Congrats 🥳
If it helps you feel better about Petro. The rat (Tkachuk) dragged him around the ice by the neck with a stick. In game 3.
Cdavid isn't a winner
Conner Mc Nocup
Edmonton needs to learn how to play some defense.
@@Username-2 fair point. Oilers need a goalie to actually play in the playoffs for once to win.
Congrats boys. YOU DID IT!
That was the first time listening to Bettman speak in front of a crowd where he wasn't booed instantly.
As a Sens fan I'm glad Stone won.
Love Stoney so much. So happy for him!
Same and same. The guy's just an absolute unit of a warrior. More passion than anyone I've seen in years.
Wayne/Roam Hockey Seeing Jack Eichel Hoist The Stanley Cup Has To Be Sad, But, I'm Sure He'll Be OK With It. He's Always Recognized Jack's Talent, Even After He Left The Buffalo Sabres. Wayne Is A Class Act
Jack deserves a Sub Zero fatality if he ever comes to Buffalo again
@@SabresGuy87 Come On. I like Buffalo, but Can't We Be Happy For The Man? He Wanted It When He Was In NY
❤ well you guys did it u did, well deserved classy team the Golden Knights, proud of you all! Stanley Cup! From NB Canada 🇨🇦, enjoy the Cup! Especially the Captain! 👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🏆🥳🥳🥳💛💛💛💛👏👏👏♥️♥️👍👍👍👍
Congratulations to the Las Vegas Golden Knights!
Vegas golden knights, we don't do las
@@misterwebb1472 Well.............. EXCUSE ME!
No boos for Bettman...Vegas still has alot to learn besides that congrats
This Stanley Cup was rigged towards Las Vegas. I hate the team with all my passion from as a part of the San Jose fanbase, but as I thought about it throughout the night I don't have anything to say but congratulations to the Golden Knights. As a wise man once said "don't think of it as a curse to give an enemy life, it can be a blessing, and besides a wise man learns more from his enemies than a fool from his friends."
@@zanemarte9877wasn't rigged at all. U saying that cause u a sharks fan that cheers for a team that win
So happy for your team! Congratulations 👏🎉👏
I bet Eichel sure is glad to be out of Buffalo 😂
I'm not a Kights fan, but I've only been following Hockey since 2017/18, their first season. I'm actually really happy for Jack Eichel, he went throgh absolute hell in Buffalo but now he ends up lifting a cup before McDavid. Funny how things work out.
I know I'm late for this but as a Flames,Oilers Fan I wanted to congratulate The Golden Knights for winning the Stanley Cup
Phil Kessel has all the cups
Petro and Barbie hoisting the Cup for the 2nd time. At least I saw them do it in St. Louis first.
Martinez too!
A house full of leaf fans are happy for all Knight fans,Congratulations to the Stanley Cup Champs,ya's gotta great team there.
Эти ребята заслужили ЧАШКУ! Хотя, Флорида тоже была достойна. Таких соперников выкинула по-ходу плей-офф. Поздравления Вегасу! ✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍
They did it congratulations golden knights
Vegas blew Florida out of the building. Just a relentless attack by them.If Edmonton and Toronto want to win a cup again, they need this kind of intensity, which currently they don't have.

Congratulations Vegas! ❤

5:16 is frame-worthy
Notice they didn’t introduce Bettman after the severe booing he got the last year.

Why? Because there were gifted a cup inherited great players from multiple teams yeah they sure were not deserving of this
