The Vegas Golden Knights are one win away from their first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history.

The team has only been around for six years, but it is playing in its second Cup Final. And at this point, barring any sort of miraculous comeback, it appears as though it will go out on top as champion of the 2022-23 NHL season.

Heading into Saturday's Game 4 up two-games-to-one over Paul Maurice and the Florida Panthers, the Golden Knights held off another Florida comeback, skating off the FLA Live Arena ice surface with a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Vegas will now have a shot at capturing Lord Stanley's mug in Nevada in front of its home fans at T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday. Much like that of the entire series, that game will be played at 7:00 PM central time.

Should Vegas win, the Stanley Cup will be presented. Players will take turns twirling the ice for a lap with the trophy before the entire team poses at centre ice for the money shot. 

But what happens in the two months following that final game is the part that Manitobans will surly be the most excited about.

As has always been the case, each player, coach and front office staff member will get his/her 'day with the Cup'. A tradition like none other, each member of the team will be able to do what they so choose with the 35-pound trophy.

With a number of players of Manitoban descent on the Golden Knights' roster, it is expected that the Cup will be in the province for nearly a full week at some point this offseason - likely sooner than later.

Captain Mark Stone - who was born and raised in Winnipeg - will likely get first dibs at selecting a date to take the Cup back home to his Kirkfield-Westwood stomping grounds. 

From there, fellow Winnipegger Keegan Kolesar will likely get it next. In order to maintain its rigorous travel schedule, the Cup mainly moves by way of nearest proximity. This means players from locations closest to the previous celebration will get their day with the Cup in immediate succession. 

Other Manitoban options will include Brett Howden (Oakbank) and Zach Whitecloud (Sioux Valley Dakota Nation, Brandon). Based on allowances, Nolan Patrick (also of Winnipeg) and Byron Froese (Winkler) - who are also rostered but did not suit up in the postseason - may get the opportunity to spend a day with the Cup. 

General manager and roster mastermind extraordinaire Kelly McCrimmon will also be given his day. Whether he chooses to bring the Cup to his hometown of Plenty, SK. or to Brandon - where he spent 30 years coaching and managing the Wheat Kings - will remain up in the air. 

Of course, this is all hypothetical, based on Vegas actually getting the job done and coming out on top with greatest trophy in all of professional sports.

Should Maurice's Panthers pull off a Game 5 victory in Vegas, it very well could spell the end for the Golden Knights. Florida would need to win three-straight, but looking at the team's performance in the postseason thus far, it wouldn't be impossible. 

Having already battled back from 3-1 down against the NHL record-setting Boston Bruins in the opening round, Florida knows all about comebacks. And in just his second Stanley Cup Final appearance in 25 seasons behind the bench, Maurice will surely not go quietly.

That said, should Florida manage a comeback for the ages, Maurice may even consider a revenge Cup tour at his summer home in Manitoba en route to his hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, ON.
