The most unlikely Stanley Cup Finals in history will open Monday night in Las Vegas, home of the amazing expansion team that has shown the NHL that a bunch of “misfits” can jell in record time.
The first-year Vegas Golden Knights will host Washington in Game 1 of a series that will give the winner its first Stanley Cup championship.
Vegas, whose odds to win the Cup were as high as 500-to-1 before the season, is no longer considered a long shot as it tries to write the final chapter in the most remarkable expansion-team story in the history of the four major sports.
