Lions roar against Blackhawks

 

ZURICH, Switzerland -- The Lions of ZSC Zurich issued a proud roar Tuesday night that was heard throughout the hockey world. In dramatic fashion at Hallenstadion, before a riotous home crowd, :cool: the ZSC Zurich Lions handed the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks an unexpected 2-1 defeat in the Victoria Cup

 

"Us winning it tonight gives a little credit to our league," Zurich forward Ryan Gardner told NHL.com. "We did our country proud. We did Europe proud. It's a special night for us."

 

Fourth-liner Lukas Grauwiler made Tuesday night special when his put-back goal past Chicago's Cristobal Huet midway through the second period gave Zurich a lead it would not relinquish.

 

"We'll always remember this," Zurich coach Sean Simpson said. "It's a great occasion for these guys. Remember, only a couple of them played in the NHL and to have a chance to just play against a NHL team was great. To come out with a victory; geez!

 

But, this was no fluke. The Lions played the game of their lives, committing to the cause throughout the lineup to give Chicago a physical challenge it won't soon forget.
