Hawks-Kings Game 7: GIFs, photos, video

Well that sucked.

The Blackhawks pushed the L.A. Kings all the way to Game 7 only to fall short in their quest to repeat as Stanley Cup champs.

A pair of goals by Patrick Sharp and one each by Brandon Saad and Jonathan Toews weren't enough to hold off the relentless Kings at the United Center. Corey Crawford made 27 saves.

Blackhawks lose, 5-4 in OT.

Hawks in 7

We're one win away from being in the finals and we're going to leave everything out there. It's Game 7, anything goes.

We're looking to play every shift, every period like it's our last, because it could be.

I circled the United Center 90 minutes before game time. You want the Blackhawks energy? You can't handle the energy.

If I'm not mistaken, this is 3rd Game 7 the Hawks have played since winning the Cup in 2010 (lost to Canucks in '11 & beat Red Wings in '13)

On this date last year, Hawks won Game 1 at home against Kings. The score was 2-1. Sharp & Hossa both scored. How will today's Game 7 go?

Photographed some die-hard Blackhawks fans prior to entering the rink. And when that happens? Kings fans follow.

Dear Hockey Gods, we call up you to Bless the #Blackhawks with excellence this evening...

WHO REMEMBERS THIS GOAL BY BRENT SEABROOK IN A GAME 7 MOMENT? Will we see something like this again tonight?

These two.

Watch this, cheer up. #blackhawks #kings

Kings captain Dustin Briwn doesn't sound very happy for a guy going to the Stanley Cup Final. Plus his hat is super ugly.

Sharp: Game 7 OT loss stings.

Jonathan Toews immediately after the 5-4 loss.

Ben Smith after Blackhawks loss in Game 7 to the Kings. It's a stinger.

Coach Joel Quenneville's Blackhawks team fell short. The long-time coach talks about his team and how close they were from going to "the big dance" once again.

Duncan Keith on it being tough to repeat.

Guess we have to pack our bags and head back to Sweden..

Gutsy effort by both teams.. Now it's time for some Bears football
