STANLEY CUP CHAMPION!

Plenty’s Kelly McCrimmon, general manager of the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights hoists the Stanley Cup. The Golden Knights beat the Florida Panthers, 9-3, to win the best-of-seven final in five games. You can bet that McCrimmon’s late brother, Brad, was first and foremost in Kelly’s thoughts. Brad’s name already is on the Stanley Cup; he was a leader on the 1988-89 Calgary Flames. And now Kelly’s name will be there, too. The thought of having his name on hockey’s Holy Grail, right there where Brad’s name has been for all these years, will have been overwhelming. In fact, Kelly used that exact word — overwhelming — in an emotional post-game interview with Sportsnet’s David Amber and Elliotte Friedman.
