I wanted Boston to win tonight so it would go 7. I wasn't rooting for either team, just a great series which is what I got IMHO.

maybe Boston could pull it out in OT. Tough, even at home, having just given up the lead to a team like that. Then to give up that last one and lose. That had to hurt.

Crawford was amazing. He kept us in it.

Happy to be from Chicago!

Tho it wasn't nearly as cool as being in Grant Park in '04

Love it!

Hell of an ending to a hell of a series.

Crawford should have won the Conn Smythe. He or Duncan Keith.

I mean I don't like Patriots, but that mainly has to do with Tom Brady. I have nothing against the Celtics or Red Sox though. In fact the Red Sox would be my second favorite Baseball team.

First they lose Doc to LA and then they lose the Cup to Chicago. Sending my love to Boston I know this is a tough one to swallow.

My bf lost trees, his truck was smashed, the grill took out a deck railing.....BUT, worst of all, they lost power. They had a generator on standby, just in case.....fired it up....Dish was out!!!! Couldn't drive anywhere cause of trees in the street and fire trucks....so they ran to the sportsbar and got to see the 3rd period!!!!

Epic game! Great story!! I can picture my bf, his brother and his nephew running like idiots in their Hawk jerseys trying to find any tv that worked!!!!
