Las Vegas Golden Knights Reach Stanley Cup Finals
The Vegas Golden Knights had an incredible inaugural season, filled with historical moments, but nothing is more impressive than reaching the Stanley Cup Final. The Golden Knights blew through the first three rounds. While they didn't end up with the Cup, they should still be proud of what they have done as a team.
Baker Mayfield and The Browns
Baker Mayfield has turned around the Cleveland Browns, ending their losing streak and helping them secure the chance at a possible playoff spot. Baker Mayfield is one of the best rookie players in 2018.
The Minnesota Miracle
The Minnesota Vikings down 24-23 against the New Orleans Saints in the NFC championship, went for a 61-yard pass to Stefon Diggs, resulting in a last-second game-ending touchdown. The play by Case Keenum and Diggs ended up being dubbed the "Minnesota Miracle."
U.S. Women's Hockey Wins Gold In Pyeongchang
