The Las Vegas Golden Knights have been shocking people all year long, and they did it again on Sunday night, taking out the San Jose Sharks to advance to the Western Conference Final.

It was a dominant effort by the road team, which shut out the Sharks 3-0 in San Jose. Led by Nate Schmidt and hot goalkeeper Marc-Andre Fleury, the Golden Knights are now just one step away from the Stanley Cup Final, which pretty much nobody saw coming in this franchise’s inaugural season.

This is right now the best story in sports, and it’s going to be absolute mayhem if the Golden Knights continue their run with another series win to get to the Stanley Cup Final. With eight more wins, they will hoist the trophy, and wouldn’t that be something to behold?
