Patrice Bergeron (including a shorthanded tally) and Brad Marchand (shown here) (including an empty netter) each scored twice while Tim Thomas (who became the second American-born player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoffs MVP) stopped all 37 shots as the Boston Bruins took game seven 4-0 of the Stanley Cup Final 4-0 Wednesday night on the road over the Vancouver Canucks to capture their first Stanley Cup championship in 39 years.

At Boston:
Brad Marchand, Milan Lucic, Andrew Ference (PP), and Michael Ryder each scored a first-period goal and David Krejci added a power-play tally in the third period for good measure as the Boston Bruins overran the visiting Vancouver Canucks 5-2 Monday night in game six of the Stanley Cup Final, forcing a seventh and deciding game Wednesday night in Vancouver. Pictured here, we see Tim Thomas, who stopped 36 of 38 Vancouver shots celebrating with teammate Zdeno Chara.

At Vancouver, British Columbia:
Maxim Lapierre scored the only goal of the match at 4:35 of the third period while Roberto Luongo (pictured here) recovered from two miserable performances in Boston to post a 31-save shutout as the Vancouver Canucks defeated the visiting Boston Bruins 1-0 in game five of the Stanley Cup Final on Friday to take a three-games-to-two series lead. The Canucks, by beating the Bruins in Boston this coming Monday night, would win their first-ever Stanley Cup title---and the first for a Canadian club since Montreal in 1993. If the Bruins win at home in Game Six, then the seventh and deciding game would take place next Wednesday in Vancouver.
