NHL Update: Chicago Blackhawks Advance to the Finals

The Chicago Blackhawks got two first period goals from their great captain Jonathan Toews and beat the Anaheim Ducks (5-3) in game seven, at Anaheim, to advance to their third Stanley Cup final in six seasons.

They will face the Tampa Bay Lightning. The first game of the finals series is in Tampa on Wednesday night.

The city of Chicago again won a semi-final from Anaheim having done so 30 years ago (Bears beat the Rams in the NFC title game/NFL semi-final) and ten years ago (the White Sox took the Angels in the ALCS/Major League Baseball semi-final).

After those semi-final wins, the Chicago teams went on to win it all. The Bears devouring the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl and the White Sox winning their first World Series in 88 years, sweeping the Houston Astros.
