Yes, that’s right. We have just declared that the Vegas Golden Knights will lift the greatest prize in all of sports should hockey return this year.
A bold statement perhaps, but the Golden Knights are built to win right now and they were at the peak of their powers prior to the NHL going on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under Head Coach Peter DeBoer Vegas went a stellar 15-5-2, while they ranked high in a number of possession-based metrics.
They really were hitting their stride and all signs pointed towards this being the year that the Knights made history by becoming one of the fastest expansion teams to win a championship.
