"To be at the game last night and be able to celebrate with the players, it was one of the highlights of my life," Golden Knights fan Wade Wagner said.

"The lucky guy today is Captain Mark Stone," Wagner said.

All fans agree on one thing: "The Golden Knights are going to win, they're on a roll, they're playing with such confidence, they're playing fast, they're playing smooth, their passes have been on point," Wagner said. "I have total confidence that they're going to win this thing."
