The 2013 Stanley Cup Final was the championship series of the National Hockey League (NHL) 2012–13 season. The Western Conference playoff champion Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Eastern Conference playoff champion Boston Bruins in six games. This was the fifth championship for the Blackhawks.

Due to the 2012–13 NHL lockout the 2013 Cup Finals began on June 12. ^[1] The last game was June 24. This tied the 1995, also impacted by a lockout, for the latest in June that the Stanley Cup was awarded.

In Game six, the Blackhawks were losing 2-1 with 76 seconds left in the third period. In 17 seconds, Bryan Bickell and then Dave Bolland scored to take the lead and win the series.^[2]
