How
Sweep it is! Blackhawks head to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time
since 1992. Eighteen years since being in a Stanley Cup Finals and
49 years since winning Lord Stanley the Chicago Black Hawks steam roll
into the finals knocking off the number one seeded San Jose Sharks finishing
off a four game sweep.
The Black Hawks await the winner of the Eastern Conference finalists
which will be either the Philadelphia Flyers or the Montreal Canadians.
They should face off against the Flyers who hold a 3-1 series lead and
could close out the series at home tomorrow in Philadelphia.
After putting themselves in a two nothing hole the calm and always
cool 2010 Chicago Black Hawks would cut the lead in half on a Brent
Seabrook goal that was originally waived off but after video review
it clearly went over the goal crease and it was a 2-1 game.
With time winding down in the second Dave Bolland would come from behind
the net turn around and rip a wrist shot that would go over the shoulder
of San Jose Sharks goalie Evgeni Nabokov at the 18:38 mark for a 2-2
game as the Black Hawks fans would erupt in glory, and just like that
the game was tied at two going into the final session.
Dustin Byfuglien who was game three's hero scoring the game winning
goal would also gain number one star status in game four as he would
score the game winning goal again this time on the power play. NHL has
made a history will be made of Dustin's Game three winning goal that
can be viewed here. http://www.puckvideo.com/history-will-be-made-dustin-byfuglien.htm.
As the San Jose Sharks would try to push for the equalizer Kris Versteeg
would ruin any chance of a come back and put an end to the Sharks season
as he sailed in an empty net goal and the Chicago party was on.
It's the Chicago Black Hawks heading to the Stanley Cup Finals against
the winner of the Flyers Canadians series and this star studded team
will be a heavy favorite against either team they will play. These Black
Hawks are just four wins away from what hasn't been done in the windy
city in forty nine years, win a Stanley Cup. Four more wins, just four
more!
