Stanley Cup Final, Blackhawks vs. Lightning: Chicago wins the Stanley Cup

The parade route will start at Monroe and Jefferson Streets and proceed east until Michigan Avenue before reaching the home of the Chicago Bears at about 11 a.m. CT. Free tickets to the celebration are available online, although there will be a charge for parking at the lots at Soldier Field.

A full map of the parade was provided by ABC 7 in Chicago:

The Blackhawks continued their time-worn tradition on Tuesday morning by covering Joel Quenneville’s house with toilet paper. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. The house was covered in 2010, again in 2013 and now -- after every cup win there has been TP.

Here is a video of the fans TP’ing the house last night. Keep on keeping on, rabid hockey fans.

Kris Versteeg is a proud new dad, having welcomed a baby boy just two weeks ago. His impossibly tiny baby is the proud new owner of a Stanley Cup.

From June 2:

Bishop only missed the following Game 3 in Chicago before returning in Game 4.

Whether that return was ultimately his decision or coach Jon Cooper’s is unknown at this time. Despite the injury, Bishop managed to hold the Blackhawks to only two goals in each of his final three starts in the series while coming under heavy offensive pressure. Bishop ended the playoffs with a .921 save percentage.

The Chicago Blackhawks have won the Stanley Cup! There’s only one problem ... the Stanley Cup hasn’t arrived yet!

The flooding is due to several straight days of rain in the city. The good news is that the Stanley Cup is being escorted to the arena.

But the Blackhawks couldn’t find a dent in Bishop’s armor until the final minutes of the second period. Duncan Keith waded into the offensive zone and let a slap shot fly before swooping in and shooting the rebound past Bishop for Chicago’s first lead of the game. It was Keith’s third goal and 20th point of the playoffs.

Bishop’s struggles would continue in the third period when a couple of shaky plays left the Blackhawks chances to extend the lead. At the other end, Tampa Bay’s offense was held in check for most of the game. The Lightning never managed to reach double-digits in shots in any period until late in the third. This inability to breach Chicago’s defenses was ultimately their undoing -- the Lightning’s late surge fell short and the Blackhawks won their third Stanley Cup in the last six years.

The Blackhawks are minutes away from the Stanley Cup. Chicago can taste it.

Or he’s just pretending his kid is a Stanley Cup. Not sure which is more amusing or scary.
