It’ll be the Golden Knights third trip to the Stanley Cup Final.(Recap by Jason) Analysis: There’s just something about closeout games that brings out the best in the Golden Knights. They were absolutely brilliant in Game 4, laying the wood on the Avs in every way possible. They got the early goal and it took a while to build on it and eventually slam the door shut on Colorado’s Presidents’ Trophy-winning season, but they finally did in the 3rd period. VGK were stupendous along the walls and in loose pucks and it left Colorado dazed and confused. The Golden Knights are the Western Conference Champions and they are heading to the Stanley Cup Final next week in Carolina or Montreal.
