“All Chi Wrote” — Blackhawks take the Cup

The Chicago Blackhawks scored a thrilling and totally unlikely Stanley Cup victory last night by popping two goals into the Boston Bruins net in 17 seconds to win the game 3-2.  There was only 76 seconds left in the game and the Hawks looked like losers with Boston sitting pretty with a 2-1 lead.  So sudden and late was Chicago’s rally that even the Blackhawks seemed not to believe what they had just seen. Milan Lucic put the Bruins ahead, 2-1, with 7 minutes 49 seconds left in regulation, seemingly forcing a Game 7 in Chicago on Wednesday. But then lightning struck. With 1:16 left, Bryan Bickell finished a feed from Jonathan Toews, knocking the puck past Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask and tying the score at 2-2. With 59 seconds to go, Dave Bolland beat the sprawling Rask after a rebound off the goal post, and just like that, the Blackhawks were ahead. Courtesy NHL
