History was made on Tuesday (June 14), as the Golden Knights scored their first Stanley Cup with a 9-3 beating over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. Here are some of the best photos of the Vegas Knights capturing that win.

The Knights’ Bruce Cassidy started five of the original Vegas players, lovingly called “The Misfits,” and had the sixth on the second shift.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman was riding high on the festivities. “Vegas, you certainly know how to throw a party,” he told the crowd. “What’s going on inside this arena and outside is incredible and a testament to what a great hockey market this is. What has happened here has been simply incredible. Not only is Vegas a hockey town, it’s a championship town.”

Vegas closed out the series in five games to win the cup before a delirious franchise-record crowd of 19,058 at T-Mobile Arena that drowned out the pregame introductions of forward Jonathan Marchessault and goalie Adin Hill and cheered all the way through the final buzzer.

Forward Jonathan Marchessault closed out the postseason with a 10-game points streak. He also received the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP. “I couldn’t be more proud of our team, our organization,” Marchessault said after the win. “Everybody stepped up at different times and that’s why we’re winners.”
