The Washington Capitals have overcome their history of failure to make it to the Stanley Cup Final. The Vegas Golden Knights don't understand a thing about failure, as all they have done in their initial season in the NHL is win.
The Golden Knights started off with a win in their opening game, and they have never let up. They earned first place in the Pacific Division, and won their first three rounds in the playoffs with relative ease.
They swept the Los Angeles Kings in the first round, they downed the San Jose Sharks in six games and dominated the Winnipeg Jets in five games to win the Western Conference Championship.
