In the race to rule the West in the NHL the only constant has been change.
No team has won the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, the trophy given to the Western Conference champion, two years in a row since the Detroit Red Wings did so in 2008-09. So the Golden Knights are facing a daunting task this season, made tougher by the fact that it’s rare for a Stanley Cup runner-up to win it all the following year.
No team has done it since the Pittsburgh Penguins lost to the Red Wings in 2008 before getting their revenge in 2009.
