Stanley Cup Final  The Stanley Cup FInal where contenders become champions and pretenders become golfers.  This is the final and the best stage of the playoffs.  This year the contenders have never been their before.  These teams are the Washington Capitals and the Vegas Golden Knights. Eastern Conference Champion  Washington Capitals  The Caps have made it over the hump and are now true contenders for the cup.  This year the Caps team has been awesome.  Their fast puck mobility is unstoppable.  They have been creating great opportunities and capitalizing (an unintentional pun I'm sorry) on those opportunities better than any team in the league.  To add onto that their goaltending has been phenomenal.  Braden Holtby has been awesome all season and throughout the playoffs.  Western Conference Champion Vegas Golden Knights  On the other side of this matchup is the Vegas Golden Knight.  The Knights have dominated the western conference from their first puck drop

Western conference final  Vegas Golden Knights Vs.

Lets start with East Tampa Bay Lightning Vs.
