Congratulations to the Golden Knights who defeated the Panthers 9-3 tonight. The party has started in Vegas.
The Florida Panthers were a joy to watch throughout the playoffs but they simply ran out of gas.
I will be adding post game videos and more below, then use the comment section to expand the coverage even more.

LAS VEGAS (June 13, 2023) Vegas Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault was named the 2023 Conn Smythe Trophy winner. The Conn Smythe Trophy is awarded to the most valuable player to his team in the playoffs, and Marchessault was selected the winner in a vote by a panel of the Professional Hockey Writers Association.
Marchessault tied for the NHL lead this postseason in goals (13) and ranked second in points (25). He scored all 13 goals over a 13-game span from the Second Round through the Stanley Cup Final.
Marchessault is the first undrafted player since Wayne Gretzky in 1988 to win Conn Smythe Trophy. He scored 10 goals that either gave Vegas a lead (6) or tied the game (4) during the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and is one of three players in the last 35 years to score a goal in first three games of the Stanley Cup Final.
This is funny - everyone celebrating the cup, meanwhile the guy closer to the camera can't get the top out of the bottle of champagne.
