For former Flyers defenseman Luca Sbisa, it has been a long and winding 10-year journey that has taken him to the Stanley Cup Finals.
The trek started when he broke into the NHL with the Flyers at the age of 18, continued with stops in Anaheim and Vancouver, and now has him four wins away from being a Stanley Cup champion with the expansion Vegas Golden Knights.
The Knights, trying to finish writing one of the most remarkable stories in sports history, will host Washington in Game 1 on Monday.
This season has been a “crazy ride from day one,” Sbisa said in a phone interview from Las Vegas this week.
