Stanley Cup Playoffs: Blackhawks Detrone Kings In 2OT; Face Bruins In First All-"Original Six" Final Since 1979

At Chicago:

Patrick Kane delivered a hat trick on Saturday, including the game and series winner at 11:40 of the second overtime period as the Chicago Blackhawks ended the Los Angeles Kings' reign as Stanley Cup champions with their 4-3 home win in game five of the Western Conference Final, which the Blackhawks won four games to one.  Chicago will have home ice advantage in the Stanley Cup Final (which will start this coming Wednesday) against the Boston Bruins in the first cup final to feature two closed-circuit era clubs since the Montreal Canadians defeated the New York Rangers in five games in 1979 (Les Habs' fourth straight title).
