In true Las Vegas style, Golden Knights captain Mark Stone paraded the real Stanley Cup onto the ice before hitting three Lord Stanley Cups on an oversized slot machine Tuesday night.
The championship banner was then raised to the top of T-Mobile Arena.

The Knights launched defense of their title in the season opener with a sellout crowd cheering them on against the Seattle Kraken.
It was just a little under four months ago when the Knights manhandled the Florida Panthers to win the championship in their sixth season, just as team owner Bill Foley predicted when the franchise first took to the ice.
They made Mark Stone spin a slot machine and a banner came out.

In the opener, the Knights picked up right where they left off last season, scoring a 4-1 win over the Kraken in front of 18,724 at The Fortress.
