The Vegas Golden Knights nearly won the Stanley Cup in their first year, making the final before losing in five games to the Washington Capitals. For the players on that team, high expectations came from the top and came early.
Golden Knights owner Bill Foley was aggressive from the beginning, saying he wanted to win the Stanley Cup in six years.
Marchessault and his Vegas teammates have the opportunity to make good on the owner's projection. The Knights, who are in their sixth season, take a 3-1 series lead into Tuesday's Stanley Cup final game against the Florida Panthers. The six Misfits have ingrained in their collective memory of coming so close to what would have been a shocking championship, and they have been working ever since to get back to that point. Those players are careful to point out no celebrations can take place unless they beat the Panthers.
