Boston Bruins Win the Stanley Cup in 2011

The Boston Bruins went into Vancouver for Game #7 and are leaving with the Stanley Cup. This game like many in the series was a tale of the goaltenders, particularly Tim Thomas. Even if you are not a Bruins fan, it is impossible not to like this guy. 37 yrs old, almost lost his job as a starter two years ago after winning the Vezina. Didn't really play in the NHL until his thirties. When you here him speak in interviews he is down to earth and seems like just a really good guy. Without him I highly doubt the Bruins would be walking away with the cup tonight.
Other players of note during the series are Marchand, Recchi, Ryder, Chara and one of my favourites, Kaberle.
