Great to see Eichel giving his buddy Marchessault hugs and congratulating him right away, Eichel himself was a worthy candidate. Not just because of the points but because of his presence in these playoffs overall. Always driving the play like he does so well, anchoring this Vegas team as the no 1 star center VGK saw in him when traded for him.
they didn’t dump him. vegas wanted him as part of the agreement to take on smith’s contract which florida wanted to dump. fla agreed not to protect him if vegas agreed to take smith
I remember thinking...hmmm should I get his jersey a few games into his 1st year while every1 was getting Karlsson/Fluery/Engelland...Yeah maybe I should, he's prob going thru a lot with FL could use the support. Couldn't believe FL leave him unprotected. Then I got his jersey signed soon after n a few more jerseys later...here we are...my boii!!! So happy for him
Jonathan Marchessault you're holding history in your arms buddy ....... That's the house that Conn Smythe helped built which sits on top of the trophy.......congrats dude!!!
Fun fact: the Golden Knights have more Canadians on their roster than any other team, may be copium but the fact that the cup will be visiting far more Canadian cities than American ones is nice to see
@@curtisb5978 When the expansion draft happened most of the players were very clearly 3th/4th liners, 5/6th d men at best. But despite that the players actually proved lots of people wrong. No person with a working brain would have thought that the team that drafted was any good.
Gary Bettman sure took the opportunity to congratulate himself a few times before getting to it. Must be hard for a McDavid to see a Character player winning MVP
Did anyone else notice the two old guys wearing two sizes to small raider sweaters behind the glass, they look ridiculous!😂 Great Marshy, you deserved it.
Not suprised vegas took it like this. Happy Eichel won it before McDavid. Made really big moves everyyear so they were bound to win. Love that mentality. The foundation looks good and no point of rebuilding when you can win now. Congrats
Why boo Gary Bettman. He’s the only one who thought a team in Vegas was a good idea and even gifted them a consistent cup favourite team in their first season.
Must be new here lol, almost all hockey fans hate Bettman with passion. Mainly cause he hates canadian teams being successful because it might take away from his dream of successful desert markets
Bettman had "covid " and couldn't attend last year's playoffs when the Avs won it all. You bet your bottom dollar he won't miss his beloved Golden Knights this year tho.
@@channelname6486 LOL what's to cope about? almost your entire roster is Canadian including the goalie that carried you there, we will have the cup visiting Canada more than the States will see it.
Why would they boo the guy that brought them to Vegas to begin with? You don't bite the hand that feeds you. Even so Vegas is one of the Southern markets that actually makes sense given how deeply rooted it is in the sports and entertainment market
Scored a lot of clutch goals, well deserved

The first undrafted player to win the award since Wayne Gretzky in 1988.
excuse me!? 😳
@@frenchfrey65 Wayne was never drafted, he came into the NHL through the WHA-NHL merger in 1979
@@parmenidesofelea9092 I figured that out remembering he signed with WHA vs NHL, I'm just surprised no one else in between that got it since!
Floirda thought he wasnt worth keeping. Now look at him a Conn Smythe winner
He was fantastic well deserve
Oh the irony, Florida dumped him and he comes back and wins the cup against them.
Reilly Smith too
That is why I am so happy for him
It's even crazier when you look at some of the guys Florida protected over him, who had just scored over 50 points
The ”not wanted” argument is such a weird take, it’s not like they could’ve protected everyone even if they wanted

Marchessault a 5m per year contract and the Conn Smythe winner! Congratulations
Впервые за долгое время, интрига была. Заслуженно

Джонатан МАРШЕССО машина!!!!
I remember when Vegas got all their players, they were considered the undesired. To see Jonathan after all these years get this is pretty awesome.
LOL ya a real rags to riches story, not the most generous expansion draft in the history of the game or anything like that.
@@curtisb5978I agree but fleury was definitely still good.

@@curtisb5978 Yeah it was generous! It was so generous that everyone said the team would be trash for a long time from botching their draft choices.
Yay Marchy!
Gary Bettman sure took the opportunity to congratulate himself a few times before getting to it. Must be hard for a McDavid to see a Character player winning MVP
The Stanley Cup Finals version of the MVP!
Its the wrong #81 with the con smythe. Lets go phil!
wasnt he audy-marchessault some time?

I thought it was just me that saw the Raiders jerseys😂😂

Well Deserved...
A french canadian closer to home. The canadian players are the best of the world for the hockey, that it.
Ironically left unprotected by florida in the expansion draft. Ooft
MARCHYYYY!!
And now Johnathan Marmalade for the Coned Symthe Award
Cry harder baby
Johnny Hockey.
Почему не Стоун
JONATHAN MARCESSAULT happens to be an ex florida panther !!!!!!!
Upchuck didnt play? the bully got bullied, such a coward
He has a fractured sternum, I'd love to see you get out there with one of those
Look at Daddy Buttman… soo happy for his Golden Girlies
2 words for you, "NO CUP!"
This is what I'm here for...them canadian tears😂😂😂
😭
Not a single boo because Vegas knows Bettman wanted this
You acting like the fans know this
Gary Bettman is very upset. He didn't want to do this because the Golden Knights won instead of the Panthers.
What
The crowd is so dead. We need the cup back in Canada to show fake teams how it’s done
Here for the Canadian tears...love it, cry more 😂😂
@@rainydays516 18 Canadians just won the cup including the goalie that carried you there, here for the American clowns ....... love it
So, I'll see you in another 30 years when Canada finally wins? Got it
Vegas fans didn’t get the memo
Most of them clearly had no idea what was going on.
@Channel Name They clearly don’t though. Most dead I’ve ever heard a home arena during a cup win.
Waka waka ayee Time to. It time for vegas Waka waka It time. For strip
bettmans team won
Cry harder baby
Why boo Gary Bettman. He’s the only one who thought a team in Vegas was a good idea and even gifted them a consistent cup favourite team in their first season.
😂
Awwww

@@sharpy3453 I’m very clearly being sarcastic.
@@sharpy3453 Maybe if the Canadian teams didn't suck so bad they'd win more.
Bettman had "covid " and couldn't attend last year's playoffs when the Avs won it all. You bet your bottom dollar he won't miss his beloved Golden Knights this year tho.
Не заслужил
Fake and not live.
Happened ages ago.
This game happened over 1000 "years" ago but calendars don't exist ;) oh no Cody holder crying rn fr fr
Stone was better
Eichel > McDavid
No. But Eichel's team is certainly better.
Eichel didn’t have a goal in two rounds lol.
He is second in goals because driasiatl got their first 😂.
And where was he dummy...?
they didnt boo bettman, vegas is the worst
@Channel Name Smartest knights fan ^^
Bettmans favorite team.... i think im gonna be 🤮
Hope you enjoyed losing another year
@@channelname6486 LOL what's to cope about? almost your entire roster is Canadian including the goalie that carried you there, we will have the cup visiting Canada more than the States will see it.
I'm glad Alex pietrangelo was rewarded for trying to intentionally permanently injure Leon draisaitl with a Stanley Cup
Cry harder
Hill should have gotten it
You know the city is just clueless about Hockey when they don't Boooo Bettman.
Of all the markets they and Arizona have 0 reason to do so.
@@channelname6486 I agree, if you want to wear a tin foil hat, then boo him. But otherwise stfu and go practice your wrist shot.
