, capping their sixth season in the NHL by throwing a nine-goal extravaganza against the feisty but undermanned and overmatched Florida Panthers. Having debuted in 2018, the Knights were a year quicker to the Cup than the 1974 Philadelphia Flyers, and that one-year gap undersells the added difficulty Vegas faced. Where the Flyers were one of 10 new teams in a league that previously had six, the Golden Knights brought the league from 30 teams to 31. Teams in other sports have been even quicker.
