Triple H sends message to Vegas Golden Knights following Championship win
Triple H has gifted the Las Vegas Golden Knights a WWE Championship after they won the NHL Stanley Cup last night.
The Golden Knights hired Bruce Cassidy one year ago today after he was fired by the Boston Bruins. Cassidy led the Golden Knights to their first Stanley Cup victory while the Bruins and new coach Jim Montgomery were bounced in the first round of the playoffs this year after a historic regular season.
The Golden Knights entered the National Hockey League as an expansion team six years ago and have already made it to two Stanley Cup Finals. They defeated the Florida Panthers in five games to win it all this year.
Triple H took to Twitter earlier today to congratulate the Golden Knights on their first Stanley Cup victory as a franchise and included an image of a custom WWE Championship in the post.
"A little more hardware can't hurt… Huge congratulations to the Vegas @GoldenKnights on their incredible, first-ever #StanleyCup victory," tweeted Triple H.
