The Vegas Golden Knights could dominantly beat Florida Panthers in 5 games and concluded the final series of Playoffs 2022-2023 season in Las Vegas on June 13th, and celebrated winning the Stanely Cup with their fans.
Throughout the series, Golden Knights showed their superiority over the Panthers many times. They didn't give the Panthers many chances at all, and had them completely under the control the whole series. On the other side of the ice, they were accurate with their shots and passinate about being in the finals for the second time in their history. They scored many goals and were very confident offensively such that the Panthers knew they lost the cup by the end of the 2nd period when they fell down on the ice hopelessly.
