The 2022-23 season wrapped up last night as the Vegas Golden Knights won 9-3 against the Florida Panthers and hosted the Stanley Cup on home ice. Even if you hate how they were 16 million over the cap, they followed the league rules and won the cup fair and square. The Dallas Stars were so close to actually being the Western Conference representative this season.
All they had to do was focus and not make so many mistakes and we would have had a shot against the Golden Knights. Another thing is if they closed out Game 2 and played better in Game 3, the Western Conference Finals would have shifted towards the Stars.
