The Blackhawks carried the Stanley Cup from bar to bar around Chicago last night but they also celebrated their amazing victory on Twitter.
Patrick Kane, who became just the fourth American born player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy, thanked all of the Blackhawks fans for their support throughout the season.
Thanks for all the support. Unbelievable feeling right now. Stanley cup champs!

The Blackhawks trailed the Boston Bruins by a goal heading into the final minutes of Game 6. The Hawks somehow managed to put one in the net to tie the game and then, 17 seconds later, they added one more to capture Lord Stanley.
