Blackhawks Win! Blackhawks Win!

The Chicago Blackhawks oust the Flyers with a 4-3 OT victory in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals, thanks to the game winning goal off the stick of Patrick Kane. For Marion Hossa, the 3rd time really was the charm. After missing his chance to raise the cup last year with the Red Wings and two seasons ago with Pittsburgh, he helped bring home the hardware to the Windy City. Jonathan Toews was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner, given to the Stanley Cup Playoffs MVP.

Edit: A Rally and Ticker Tape Parade is now set for Downtown Chicago, this Friday 6/11. The parade begins at 10:30am, at Wacker Dr and Washington St. The rally follows at approximately 11:30am at Michigan Ave and Wacker Dr.
