BLACKHAWKS WIN STANLEY CUP; THIRD SUCH TRIUMPH IN SIX YEARS, CLINCH TITLE AT HOME FOR FIRST TIME SINCE '38; DUNCAN KEITH WINS CONN SMYTHE TROPHY AS PLAYOFFS MVP

At Chicago:
NHL: Stanley Cup Final-Tampa Bay Lightning at Chicago Blackhawks
One goal each from Duncan Keith (who unanimously won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoffs Most Valuable Player; that's him, wearing #2, celebrating with Antoine Vermette, #80, after the game) and Patrick Kane each scored a goal while Corey Crawford stopped all 25 shots as the Chicago Blackhawks blanked the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 on Monday night and won the Stanley Cup by taking the final four games to two.

The cup title was Chicago's third in six years.  This, however, marked the first time since 1938 that the Blackhawks won the cup on home ice.
