Blackhawks Win Stanley Cup

Chicago Captain Jonathan Toews hoists professional hockey's most valuable trophy.

With under two minutes to play in regulation time the Chicago Blackhawks overcame a one-goal deficit to beat the Boston Bruins 3-2 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Blackhawks secured their second Stanley Cup in four years and their fifth in franchise history before a crowd of stunned Boston fans. It was a match-up of two of professional hockey's original six teams with a long history between them.

The Bruins seemed to have the game in hand when Milan Lucic scored his team's second goal at 12:44 of the third period. Then with under ninety seconds to play Chicago's Bryan Bickell tied the score at 2-2. Stunned Boston fans and players alike seemed unable to react when Chicago scored again with only fifty-nine seconds to play. Blackhawk player Dave Bolland found the net to make the score 3-2. Shots on goal favored Chicago 31-25 but Boston seemed to dominate most of the play. Both goaltenders were outstanding as they each made amazing saves throughout the game.

The Bruins certainly showed that they deserved to compete for the one-hundred year old Stanley Cup.
