Looks like it will be a tight Stanley Cup Finals.
After the Blackhawks took game one in triple overtime, the Bruins comeback and get an overtime win themselves... though this one just in the 1st and only overtime. With the game tied at 1-1 and with it almost 14 minutes into the OT, the Blackhawks failed to clear the puck out of their zone and the Bruins made them pay. With assists from Tyler Seguin and Adam McQuaid, Daniel Paille scored the game winning goal past Chicago goalkeeper Corey Crawford for the game winner. Final was 2-1 Bruins.
A huge win for the Bruins evening the series at 1-1 as they go to Boston. This tired Bruins squad managed to overwhelm the Blackhawks in the overtime in game two and come away with the victory.
What is very impressive so far in this series is both goaltenders. Boston's Tuukka Rask and Chicago's Corey Crawford have been remarkable to watch, just great goal tending displays from both of them so far. It might be more about good defense than good goal tending in this series because both of these goaltenders are playing their best.

Blackhawks Win in Double OT; Advance to Stanley Cup Finals
There will be no repeat Stanley Cup Champions.
The Chicago Blackhawks managed to survive a double overtime game against the Los Angeles Kings to win it 4-3 and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. It was Patrick Kane scoring the series clincher in the 2nd overtime thanks to a two on one counter attack lead by Jonathan Toews. It was Kane's third goal of the night.
Chicago takes the series 4-1 and eliminate the Kings.
Now it's on to the Stanley Cup Finals to face the Boston Bruins in an Original Six finals, first since 1979. It's a great match up between two teams who have been counted out of the postseason at one time or another. Chicago was down 3-1 in the series with the Red Wings in the conference semis to come back and win the series 4-3. And Boston was down by three goals in the third period of game 7 between them and Maple Leafs back in the Conference quarters.
Whatever might happen in the Stanley Cup Finals, don't count out either side.
