Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Desjardins blogged for NHL.com periodically throughout the Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning. In this final edition, he explains his emotions on winning the Stanley Cup after a 2-0 win in Game 6 at United Center on Monday.
CHICAGO -- All I can think about is just taking everything in.
I'm thinking about the process that it took to get to this moment, the amount of hard work that I don't think people understand, the group coming together and pushing in one direction, the leadership of the core group that have done this and really understood what it takes to get through this and pushed the guys that have never done this in that direction.
They made sure we kept the highs and lows perfectly even the whole way, and I think that went a long way.
