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.

3rd & 7 37yd

Six hours until puck drop. Can you even contain yourself right now?

The Mutt and the Mullets. Not much history, but they've been so good they need a nickname.

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.

-Brandon Saad as quoted by the Chicago Tribune

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

by sely 6/1/2014 11:15:13 PM
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)

by Leonor Vivanco via twitter 6/1/2014 11:17:00 PM
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?

by Leonor Vivanco via twitter 6/1/2014 11:17:07 PM
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?

Time for Hawks fans to get pumped up for Game 7.

Could the hawks anthem be the best minute and a half in sports?

2-0 Blackhawks. Your captain — Jonathan Toews — scores during the power play. Getting out of hand? Keep it up.
