Stanley Cup

May 25, 2010

With an amazing victory over the San Jose Shark, the Chicago Blackhawks are going to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 1992.

This Chicago Blackhawks win is due to the player they call Big Buff, Dustin Byfuglien. Dave Bolland also scored a goal to help in the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 win over the San Jose Sharks. Dustin Byfuglien’s goal was the second time this player has won the game and this time won the Conference Series for his team the Blackhawks. When Chicago’s Versteeg scored the empty net goal in the last seconds of the game the fans in red went wild.

The Chicago Blackhawks goalie Antti Niemi had an easy and great day with only 16 shots on goal, compared to the San Jose Sharks Goalie Evgeni Nabokov who was busy stopping 23 out of 26 shots. The Sharks had a chance to regain the lead in the final period but a long shot from Devin Setoquchi was deflected from teammate Joe Thorton’s stick and hit the crossbar of the goal. As a side note, Duncan Keith is a true hockey player for taking a puck to the face and losing seven teeth while still maintaining the record of longest player on the ice.

The Chicago Blackhawks have swept this conference with a perfect 4-0 record. The Blackhawks will be battling either the Philadelphia Flyers or the Montreal Canadians as those two teams are set to do battle this week to decide which one will go up against the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
