It is with bittersweet emotions that I congratulate the Chicago Blackhawks for their victory last night over the Boston Bruins. I say bittersweet not only because the 'Hawks eliminated the Kings during the Conference Finals, but last night also marked the official end of the Kings reign as Stanley Cup Champions.
The Blackhawks were just incredible this season. They came out of the gate fast, and won consistently throughout the year. Heck, they recorded points in 24 straight games to start the season, having only lost 3 games in overtime. At the end of the lockout shortened season they finished with the best record in the league.
Coming into these playoffs there was one team that worried me - the Blackhawks. I knew how good they were and feared that they would be the only team that could stop the Kings from repeating as champions. As you know, they did just that. Now, they are Stanley Cup Champions, and I salute you.
Congrats, Blackhawks!
