I've got some pregame reading for ya.
In case you missed it, Sean McIndoe aka @DownGoesBrown rated the last 20 Cup-handing-off ceremonies based on how awkward they were. Unsurprisingly, it's wonderful.
Jonathan Toews and Patrice Bergeron are both expected to play as of this writing. Bergeron was speculated to have had a spleen issue. If you want Twitter's foremost expert on spleens take a look at the last 45 hours or so from @seangentille.

Chicago can end it tonight (or tomorrow, depending on where you live and whether we go 4OT or 5) in Boston.
