The Chicago Blackhawks were guests on ”The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno Monday night and were even written into the script to not only showcase the Stanley Cup, but also the four Olympic medals players on the team had earned at the Vancouver Winter Games.

While the rest of the team stayed in the audience, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and Jonathan Toews talked about their big win while wearing their Olympic medals.

“It’s a great feeling to bring the cup back to Chicago,” Kane told Leno.

Many fans are still overwhelmed and excited for the new Stanley Cup Champs. Duncan Keith even gave Leno a very special necklace with a tooth on it..

The Chicago Blackhawks steamrolled the San Jose Sharks Tuesday night, with a 4-2 road victory, giving them a 2-0 lead in the series. The Hawks tied the NHL record with seven consecutive road wins, while the Sharks are 3-2 on the road. Friday’s game is a must-win for the Sharks, although having a 2-0 deficit will not boost their confidence much, as they have lost the past seven playoff series in which they were down 2-0. Contrastingly, the Hawks are 17-2 in the playoffs when up 2-0.
