Blackhawks were outstanding. I hate to admit it, but the best team won this time.

Leighton played far better than any fan had a right to expect. Until he got to the final. there is a reason that goalies become journeymen, it's called inconsistency. Not that Niemi was great either.
The starts got stoned by Niemi (on occasion) and had to play the leagues best (as a group) defencemen.
