Hawks win Stanley Cup!!!

The Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup!!!




Patrick Kane's goal occurs at 50 seconds in the above clip, with the replay about 1:15 in the clip.

I was watching it live and Kane's shot was from an impossible angle. He knew at once it was in the net -- but no one else in the stadium knew. There was no horn or red light signaling a goal, but Kane skated the length of the stadium, tossing his gloves and stick into the air, and jumped into the arms of goaltender Niemi who certainly couldn't have seen the goal from his end of the rink, yet both celebrated and the Hawks benched cleared and all celebrated at the Hawks net, though the officials took another 30 seconds to declare the Hawks as champs. The Hawks fans in the stadium erupted and the Flyers fans were understandably quiet and fearful, and then following the announcement, booed.
