The adorable 1-year-old son of the Vegas Golden Knights forward was hanging out with dad during a postgame interview after a Game 5 victory clinched the Cup on Tuesday. Ford (who celebrated his 1st birthday on May 22) showed he had his dad's good hands, putting a serious grip on the Sportsnet microphone and drawing a big smile from dad. In his defense, those foam mic covers are incredibly squishy. And Ford wasn't the only kid ready to celebrate. Isla Smith, the daughter of Golden Knights forward Reilly Smith, had a seat in the Cup. Beckham Karlsson, the newborn son of William Karlsson, also looked pretty comfortable sitting in the trophy. Looks like the Golden Knights have more than a few future prospects to scout, all with Stanley Cup experience.

The Golden Knights entered the postseason as the top seed in the Western Conference and defeated the Winnipeg Jets in five games in the first round, the Edmonton Oilers in six games in the second round and the Dallas Stars in six games the Western Conference Final. Here's a look at the Golden Knights' road to the Stanley Cup Final: April 18: Game 1, Western Conference First Round, T-Mobile Arena: After missing the playoffs last season, Vegas returned and had a forgettable Game 1 on home ice. The Golden Knights allowed five goals, including three in the third period. William Karlsson scored the only goal for the Golden Knights, who managed 17 shots on goal on their way to trailing the best-of-7 series 1-0. April 20: Game 2, Western Conference First Round, T-Mobile Arena: Vegas trailed after the first period after allowing a power-play goal to Adam Lowry but responded in the second period with goals from Karlsson and Jack Eichel, who scored his first NHL postseason goal. The game was tied 2-2 going into the third period but Chandler Stephenson scored before Mark Stone added two goals for a 5-2 win. Laurent Brossoit made 31 saves and Vegas evened the series. [RELATED: April 22: Game 3, Western Conference First Round, Canada Life Centre: The Golden Knights got on the board first for the first time in the series, scoring twice in the first 6:18 for a 2-0 lead on goals by Stephenson and Eichel. Eichel and Keegan Kolesar scored in the second, but Vegas was unable to hold a 4-1 le...
