Time to hail the Kings once more.
Game five of the Stanley Cup Finals went into double overtime with both the New York Rangers and the Los Angeles Kings getting extremely tired. Neither Henrik Lundqvist or Jonathan Quick were giving in. Then with just over 5 minutes left in the 2nd OT, Alec Martinez becomes the hero of Los Angeles. Teammate Tyler Toffoli takes a shot on goal which deflects off Lundqvist and Martinez is there for the rebound and shoots the puck into the open net. Kings win it 3-2 and take the series 4-1.
What a series it was and what a series it could've been. Rangers could've easily taken either of the first two games of the series and instead the Kings come back from 2-0 deficits and win those games. Even in this game in the overtimes, it could gone the other way if not for some shots off the posts and Slava Voynov saving one for Quick with his stick.
Lord Stanley's Cup comes back to LA for the 2nd time in 3 years. Justin Williams is named the Conn Smythe trophy winner having recorded 9 goals and a total of 25 points during the postseason. Meanwhile, the Rangers, who had gotten back to the Stanley Cup Finals since winning it all in 1994, go back to the Big Apple with a lot of what ifs surrounding their performance in this series.
Congrats to the Kings of the NHL.

BLACKHAWKS COMEBACK TO WIN GAME SIX; CLAIM 2ND STANLEY CUP IN FOUR YEARS!!!
A lot can change in 17 seconds. We were looking at going onto to game 7 of the series to crowning a champion in that span of time.
Being down by one with less than a minute and half to go in game 6, the Blackhawks scored two goals to take the lead. Bryan Bickell would get a pass from captain Jonathan Toews and scored the tying goal with a shot from in front of the net. Then just 17 seconds later, Dave Bolland managed to score the go ahead goal with 59 seconds left.
The Blackhawks managed to kill off the remaining time and won by a final of 3-2. Chicago wins the series 4-2 and win their 2nd Stanley Cup title in four years.
A fantastic Stanley Cup Finals and a great come from behind victory for the Blackhawks in game 6. Sure, it wasn't do or die for Chicago but they know that anything can happen in game 7 and to not waste the opportunities to comeback in this one.
Patrick Kane wins the Conn Smythe Trophy being the MVP of this year's postseason. Kane scored 9 goals and had a total of 19 points in the playoffs. In the Stanley Cup Finals, Kane had 5 points with 3 of them being goals.
Still got to hand it to the Bruins for a great series and postseason run. Many thought they were destined for greatness this year seeing their comeback in game 7 of round one of the postseason against the Maple Leafs. It's ironic, really, that they fall in a comeback effort in the Stanley Cup Finals in the very same building.
It's the Blackhawks that win the President's Trophy in a shortened lockout season and then go on to win Lord Stanley's Cup. Congrats to them and the city of Chicago. Time to sing another verse of "Chelsea Dagger" by The Fratellis.

Bruins Tie Cup Finals at 1-1
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.
