"The Golden Knights' Selfless Gameplan Leads to Stanley Cup Victory and Fan Craze"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Athletic
The Vegas Golden Knights' Stanley Cup championship was the result of a selfless vision and an unrelenting game plan. Owner Bill Foley convinced the NHL to put a team in Las Vegas, and GM George McPhee was given a second chance to build a championship roster. Kelly McCrimmon was promoted to GM, and the team made calculated bold moves to win. The championship was not just the result of favorable expansion draft rules, but rather a team built to get better and better. The victory was a special moment for the organization and the community, especially in the aftermath of the 2017 mass shooting tragedy.
