Thrilling Conclusion to 2011 Stanley Cup Finals

Game 7 Victory Over Canucks Caps Off Historic Season

BOSTON - The Boston Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday night, capturing their first Stanley Cup championship since 1972. The Bruins' victory was a hard-fought one, as they needed to win the final three games of the series to claim the Cup. Boston fell behind 2-0 in the series after losing the first two games at home, but they rallied back with three consecutive wins on the road to tie the series. In Game 7, the Bruins took an early lead and never looked back. Patrice Bergeron scored a power-play goal just over five minutes into the game, and Milan Lucic added another goal less than three minutes later. The Bruins held on to their 2-0 lead for the rest of the game, and Tim Thomas made 37 saves to earn the shutout. The Bruins' victory was a culmination of a remarkable season. They finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, and they defeated the Montreal Canadiens, Philadelphia Flyers, and Tampa Bay Lightning in the playoffs to reach the Stanley Cup Finals. The Bruins' victory is a special moment for the city of Boston. The team's last Stanley Cup championship came in 1972, and the city has been waiting patiently for another title ever since. The Bruins' victory is a reminder that anything is possible, and it is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team and its fans.
