After two full overtime periods, the Blackhawks and Bruins were understandably exhausted.
The Bruins did not know they were facing the most relentless team they had seen all season when they went up against the Blackhawks.
The clock struck midnight Thursday morning at the United Center and the hockey gods decided that after 112 grueling minutes on the ice, the Bruins and the Blackhawks needed to go home.
Andrew Shaw skated off to the side and pumped his arms furiously. One shot from the right point plus two deflections was just enough to beat Tuukka Rask in the fifth-longest Stanley Cup finals game in history.
Mike Leake combined with Aroldis Chapman on a three-hitter and Todd Frazier hit a tiebreaking home run in the seventh inning against Travis Wood, leading the Cincinnati Reds over the Chicago Cubs 2-1 Wednesday for their record 12th straight win at Wrigley Field.
The winds of change appear to be blowing among professional sports.
NHL Hall of Fame center Phil Esposito knows the Blackhawks and Bruins extremely well.
With severe weather conditions looming, the White Sox-Blue Jay game for tonight at U.S. Cellular Field has been canceled.
The White Sox signed shortstop Tim Anderson, their first-round pick (17th overall) in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, to a minor-league contract with a $2.164-million bonus.
As expected, Brandon Bollig will be in the lineup for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Boston Bruins Wednesday night.
