The 2010 Stanley Cup Final was the best-of-seven NHL championship series of the

2010 Stanley Cup playoffs contested between the Western Conference champion

Chicago Blackhawks and the Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia Flyers. It was

Chicago's eleventh appearance in the Final and their first since 1992, a loss to the

Pittsburgh Penguins. It was Philadelphia's eighth appearance in the Final and their first

since 1997, a loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Chicago defeated Philadelphia four games

to two to win their fourth Stanley Cup in franchise history.

This was the first Cup championship for Chicago since 1961, which had been the

longest active Stanley Cup drought. The Toronto Maple Leafs, who last won the Cup

in 1967 and who have not appeared in the Final since, along with the St. Louis Blues,

currently share the longest active Cup drought streak in the NHL. The Leafs are the

only Original Six team to have not won the Cup at least once in the post-1967 NHL

expansion era.

Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the

Most Valuable Player of the 2010 playoffs, and was the first Blackhawks player to

receive this honor. He and teammates Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook won the

Olympic Gold medal with Team Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics, adding the three

players to the list of Ken Morrow (1980) and Steve Yzerman and Brendan Shanahan

(both 2002), as well as Drew Doughty and Jeff Carter (both 2014), as the only players

to accomplish this double in the same year.
