Lore & Background

The Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in 2013, their second championship in four years. The series was decided in Game 7 at the United Center.

In Their Own Story

The ice at TD Garden felt thinner than usual under the weight of history. Tim Thomas, the veteran goaltender who had anchored this improbable run, made one last save that seemed to freeze time itself. Before the puck could even settle, the arena erupted into a sea of black and gold, a collective release of thirty-nine years of silence breaking all at once.
