The Chicago Black Hawks are Stanley Cup champions, and Zeus Kerravala of ZK Research celebrates (?)

When we Chicagoans who put together No Jitter saw that the Black Hawks would be taking on the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup, we threw down the gauntlet to our favorite Boston-based, Canadian-born, hockey-loving contributor, Zeus Kerravala of ZK Research:

Boston takes the Cup, and I pose for a photo on No Jitter in a jersey of Bruins captain Zdeno Chara, aka Big Z. If the Hawks won, Zeus agreed to pose in a jersey of Chicago star Patrick Kane.

The rest is history: Both teams were incredible, but the Black Hawks took the Cup in six games, in one of the most exciting series in memory. Patrick Kane took the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP for the playoff series.

Zeus was as good as his word, and sent us this:

Thanks for being a good sport, Z. We here are big fans of everything about Boston, and we're looking forward to sweating through another Hawks-Bruins Stanley Cup final next year!
