There will be a new team name on the Stanley Cup when the 2018 Stanley Cup Final is finished.
Will it be the Washington Capitals, who have waited 43 long seasons and were swept, by the Detroit Red Wings, in their only other Final appearance, in 1998?
They have earned the right, winning each series after trailing, including losing the first two games to the Columbus Blue Jackets in the first round and three straight games to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference Final.

I don’t know whether the success of the Golden Knights is a great miracle sports story, an embarrassment to the NHL, or both.

The Golden Knights get full marks for their run to the finals, but their road to the SCF was not as difficult as what the Capitals faced. The Caps beat the two-time defending SC champs (PIT) and the top EC team from the regular season (TBL). The Eastern Conference is the stronger conference right now, with the Caps being the more battle-tested team. As long as the Caps don't take VGK lightly, I think they'll win a hard-fought SCF (but it might take 7 games to do it).
