LAS VEGAS | A Stanley Cup conquest is the ultimate dream. There are tears running down the cheeks of the players, but also in the faces of the parents. There are also babies who sit in the cup, like the boys of Reilly Smith and William Karlsson did.

At 26, Nicolas Roy felt like he was floating on a cloud. A few minutes following this 9 to 3 victory once morest the Panthers, the number 10 of the Golden Knights shared this moment of pure happiness with his parents, Nick Roy and Lise Laplante, with his sister Mélina and his girlfriend.
“There’s no better feeling, you’ve been dreaming regarding this all your life,” Roy said. I am lucky to live this moment with my family. They encouraged me throughout my journey. It’s amazing to share that with them.”
“I’m starting to lack a bit of energy, I’ve been celebrating for a few minutes already, he continued. I dreamed of this day since my youth. It is beyond my expectations. When I lifted the cup, I was so happy. I may never experience such a moment once more. I want to savor it as much as possible.”
The father also had a smile on his face.
“I was so nervous in the first period, told Nick Roy. I see many images of his childhood. I already directed him when he was little. I spent many hours in an arena. He had always dreamed of this moment.
Roy scored the ninth goal in that crushing 9-3 victory in the fifth and final game of this final once morest the Panthers.

“We were stressed until the last second, mentioned Carrier even if the Knights largely controlled this meeting. When the match ended, it was just a relief. We’re going to start celebrating and spending time with the family.”
“There is a lot of work to get to win the Stanley Cup, he chained. We were a very close group, we had been around for a few years. I’m so happy to live this moment and it remains special for the original members of the team.
Carrier was one of six survivors of that 2017-18 Cinderella team along with Jonathan Marchessault, William Karlsson, Reilly Smith, Shea Theodore and Brayden McNabb.
A winner
Roy also had good words to say regarding Marchessault, the Conn-Smythe Trophy winner.
“It shows his strength of character. Marchy often heard he wasn’t big enough to make it to the NHL. He always found ways to make his way. He’s a winner, he proved it throughout the playoffs.
