The Blackawks… Take home the Stanley Cup!
Wednesday night June 9th, 2010 the Philadelphia Flyers fell to the Chicago Blackhawks on in the sixth game of the Stanley Cup finals. Although Philadelphia lost they fought hard, as they delivered a game-tying goal late in the third period and a few hard-hitting minutes of overtime before Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane blasted the puck between the legs of Flyers goaltender Michael Leighton. Maybe one of the top ten hockey goals in sports history. It’s been a wild year for Kane, who was also on the team that represented the United States at the Winter Olympics, so he now has a the most prestigious hockey trophy and sports trophy ever the Stanley Cup to go with his silver medal.
Along with the rest of his teammates on the Blackhawks, Kane will be getting his name inscribed on the Stanley Cup, the most iconic trophy in all of professional sports. It’s a special prize because there exists only one (unlike other sports, where a fresh trophy is made every year, so there are currently dozens of Lombardi Trophies out there) and it’s the same one that has been used since organized hockey was awarding prizes to champions.
