Congratulations Hawks. Excellent win. Was an exciting series for sure. Chicago has built their team right and has 3 cups in 5 to show for it. As an avid Lightning (and hockey) fan, I believe that our ownership and GM are modeling TB after teams like Chicago. This hurts for Tampa, as I know how difficult it is to even get a look at Lord Stanley's cup with the gruel it takes to get there. Enjoy it boys!

Perfect ending to the best playoff hockey I've ever seen. It's amazing the way this team always finds a way to win, and they only get better with their backs against the wall. Those guys all deserve it.

of a job as an organization and as a team. I have to say - Tampa Bay was really a fantastic team and organization as well - they are definitely going to get a Stanley Cup soon - and I'm glad they made it the closest Stanley Cup in history - nobody knew it was a Hawks win until about a minute left in the third period!! If Tampa truly models themselves off of the Blackhawks they could easily be the next dynasty (I'd just like to see the Hawks get s few more Cups first though)! |

Will be interesting to see what happens next year, but the leadership the Hawks' have from a few key players and Quenneville is something that won't get traded away due to salary cap, and you need look no further than Teravainen to see what young players can do when surrounded by the right leaders. I fully expect the Hawks to be as deadly next year as they were this year. |

It was a good series - not the most exciting or high scoring, but solid, solid hockey throughout. And in the salary cap era, what the 'Hawks have put together is impressive. Will be interesting to see what happens to the team with a few of those long term contracts really starting to bite this summer. In theory, they should not be able to hang on like this (by keeping the high price talent, they have to cut too many of the 2nd tier guys who form the solid backbone and depth of any good team). But it is great to see the Hawks revived from where they were 10 years ago and good to see hockey still somewhat cared about in Bettman Belt teams. For those who live in Tampa, how hard was it to get tickets during the playoffs? (I briefly considered getting some to the Anaheim / Flames series in California (and could easily find seats still available), though the timing didn't work out for me to take a trip there....)

The blackhawks played the most well rounded team effort throughout the playoffs. The leaders of the fallen teams collapsed in every post season matchup going back to Nashville. Teams can try and "model" off the blackhawks but they will always fall short because on top of skill, they have something you can't teach. Instinct? Tenacity?chemistry? mojo? I don't know the word, but I'm glad they have it. And I'm going to bask in it's glory because who knows what next year brings. Until then, we're 2015 Stanley Cup Champions!
