"I knew it went in right away," Kane said. "What a feeling. I can't believe it. We just won the Stanley Cup. I can't believe this just happened. ... It's something you dream about, scoring the final goal in the Stanley Cup finals."
Kane scored in just the fifth minute of sudden-death overtime, and after a brief review, the Blackhawks had defeated the Flyers 4-3 in Game 6 to clinch their first Stanley Cup since 1961.
Captain Jonathan Toews, who also earned the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the playoffs, became the second-youngest ever to captain a Cup winning team at age 22. "There's so many great things about winning a Stanley Cup. This is it," Toews said. "This is the best feeling you can ever get. I just can't believe it's happened."
For Philadelphia, which didn't clinch a playoff berth until the final game of the season, a great postseason, which included coming back from 3-0 series deficit against Boston, came to an end to a more talented team. "In the long run, everybody should be proud with what we did this year," Flyers forward Jeff Carter said. "We overcame a lot of adversity. The guys should be proud of what we accomplished."
WOOOO HOOOOOO!! :)
