Angry Bruins Fan Photobombs Stanley Cup Celebration

This year's NHL Stanley Cup Final, which came to a close when the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Boston Bruins on Monday night, was an all-time classic, with comebacks, overtimes and heroic efforts galore.

Of course, the series' best moment could have been Game 1, which went to triple overtime. Or it could have been Game 4, which featured 11 goals in total. Or perhaps it could have been the very end of Game 6, when the Hawks scored two goals in 17 seconds, ending the series and stunning us all.

But maybe -- just maybe -- the series' best moment came when an angry Boston fan inadvertently photobombed NHL.com in epic fashion after Game 6.

On its series recap, the NHL's official site highlighted an image of Chicago players celebrating on Monday night. But viewers noticed something that the site's front page editors probably didn't: a bitter Bruins fan giving the middle finger.
