Duncan Keith proud of Chicago Blackhawks team-mates

A 2-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in game six of the Finals saw the Blackhawks win the cup for the third time in six years.

Defenseman Keith scored the opening goal in the second period and was unanimously named the play-offs MVP.

"It feels so great. You want to keep being a part of these things," the 31-year-old said.

"You don't get these awards without being on great teams with great players and like I said, I'm just proud to be a part of this group of guys, who care so much and do whatever it takes."

The Blackhawks sealed the trophy at home for the first time since 1938, with Patrick Kane's third-period goal sealing the win on Monday.

Captain Jonathan Toews also revelled in the success.

"We won it for each other, for the city," Toews said.

"In so many ways, winning a championship like this in our home city, I think it really transcends the sport. Everyone wants to be a part of it. It's amazing."

Kane added: "It's special.

"It's not something everyone is going to go through, not just in the game of hockey, but pretty much any sport, to have this opportunity to play for three in six years."
