This year's Stanley Cup was a classic. It was truly one of the most memorable Cup Finals most people have witnessed. Three games of the six game series went to overtime. The first game went into triple overtime, however it was only the fifth longest Stanley Cup finals game ever. Nonetheless, the Finals went down as some of the best hockey ever played.
This series was really one for the ages because of the suspense. The twists and turns occurred every minute. Perhaps the most memorable game in the series was the last. Two goals in less than a minute with seconds left in the game explain fully why the Blackhawks are Stanley Cup champions. With a team filled with great players such as Jonathon Toews, Brent Seabrook, Duncan Keith, Patrick Kane, the Hawks were destined to win. Perhaps the best part of the Finals was what happened after. The Hawks taking a full page ad in the Boston Globe to express gratitude to the people of Boston. Now that's hockey.
Hockey comes and goes with the season. Now, we'll have the normal season, with the winter classic, the Olympics and everything in between. But as long as there's heat, there's no hockey.
