Golden Knights Dominated The Game Against the Panthers
Tuesday’s final match of the 2023 Stanley Cup was dominated by the aggressive stances of the Golden Knights. This win comes as a greater one as the Golden Knights won the Cup in their home city, Las Vegas. The Florida Panther’s loss was however due to the lack of its star and key player Matthew Tkachuk. Matthew could not play in the finals as he suffered an injury in fracturing his sternum earlier. The Knights with their Stanley Cup win became the second-fastest team to be victorious in the championship since 1943-44. Knights Nicolas Roy scored the final winning goal.
