Knights on Ice — 4 for 4
The 2017-2018 NHL season ended on June 7, 2018, when the Washington Capitals defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

In just 2:31, the story of all stories ended. The unexpected never did materialize. The movie that’ll be made won’t have the feel-good fairy-tale ending, the one that everyone, except the Washington Capitals and the sports books managers, would have loved to witness.
