Blackhawks make their cup in half a century

The atmosphere was suitably electric and the attendances were unprecedented when the Chicago Blackhawks National Hockey League came top in the Stanley Cup. This victory was all the sweeter because it had taken them the best part of half a century to try and get their goal. There was plenty of cheering and thumping as the results came in and it became clear that the team was going to carry the cup home on this occasion. The fans numbered some two million which is indicative of the importance of the game and the kind of attachment that they feel towards it. They have to be commended for the effort and the refusal to give up even when the duck seemed to be completely stuck with them.

The role of the young pairing of Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane cannot be underestimated in the effort to lift the cup. They have to be commended for their tenacity and team spirit that enabled them to lift the prestigious trophy once more. The open air celebrations were well deserved because of the great efforts that everyone put into the game especially in the final stages where a mishap could have given the opposing team some hope. This is the overall fourth title for the Blackhawks and they are no longer a team that can be sniffed at. When they needed to, they delivered the goods in plenty.

The dreaded question is then regarding the following projects after such a victory. It seems that the Blackhawks are determined to remain a fixture within the NHL Hockey Finals fixtures. They are a relatively young team that has all the potential to bring in more trophies if given half the chance. They are currently at the top of their game which essentially means that they can do many things that would not be possible in other circumstances. The competition is fierce but the early indications are that they can cope with the competition very well and should succeed in their endeavors if given the chance to do so.
