When Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley said his plan for his new team was to win a Stanley Cup within six years, he likely didn't expect to be this spot on.
On Tuesday night, at the conclusion of the team's fifth season of NHL play, the Golden Knights hoisted the Stanley Cup in front of a sold-out home crowd at T-Mobile Arena.
The victory concluded a run of success -- three division championships, two conference championships and now a Stanley Cup -- for the once-expansion franchise that has few peers. Just five expansion teams in the history of the big four of North American men's professional sports have captured a title in an equivalent or quicker span.
