The
Chicago police said more than two million people turned out to celebrate the
Blackhawks’
Stanley Cup win. Fans dressed in the team’s colors, red and black, started streaming into the city early Friday and by midmorning were lined up along the parade route. Later fans streamed into Grant Park, where a huge throng waited for players to speak.
Commissioner Gary Bettman will try to close a deal Monday allowing
NHL players to compete in the Sochi Olympics next winter. He said the league would meet in New York with the players’ association, the International Olympic Committee and International Ice Hockey Federation.
The
Blackhawks' run for the cup was definitely worth celebrating.
Blackhawks entered the postseason with the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and lost just six games en route to the
Stanley Cup Finals. Once there they engaged in a highly entertaining series that featured five overtimes in three of the six games.
The series clincher was no different in terms of entertainment. The game seemed to be headed to a seventh game with Boston up 2-1 with less than two minutes left in the third period, but the
Blackhawks scored back-to-back goals from Brian Bickell and Dave Bolland to give
Chicago the 3-2 lead with 58 seconds left.
It was a devastating finish to a well-deserved championship, and a moment that is sure to go down in Chicago sports history.
