to Frolik for a tying tap-in goal at 7:06.It was still tie

A stellar future surely awaits Melbourne City after securing the FFA Cup, but on Wednesday night coach John van t Schip couldnt help but take a moment to look back.Citys 1-0 defeat of Sydney FC is the first trophy in the clubs seven-season history.The largesse bestowed upon the club by owners City Football Group demands, and perhaps ensures, more prizes to come.Van t Schip has been there with the club from the beginning and was eager to thank family, friends and supporters who have stuck with him during the clubs arduous history.He dwelled on one fallen friend - Dutch great Johan Cruyff - who acted as his mentor both as a player and a coach.I think of Cruyff who passed away half a year ago, he said.His legacy, the football philosophy that he left behind. I hope to contribute (to that) in the way he wanted to play football.I think were making those steps.More than anyone else at the club, van t Schip is entitled to think about the clubs journey.Quirkily, in an era where coaches are turfed all too easily, the Dutchman is one of the few survivors from season one, with its infamous wheelie bin ice baths.So when he wore a broad smile at full-time on Wednesday night at AAMI Park, there was no doubt hed earned it.Everybodys been waiting for it, he said.Its a start, hopefully for a lot more.Moments like this evening dont come too often. Thats what we said to the boys ... that every time you play a final its something special.Winning prizes gives you confidence. It shows youre on the right path.Its of course important for the players, getting a reward.For the fans that can now say hey we won a prize.But life doesnt stop. We have to celebrate this and make sure were focused and prepared for the upcoming game.City return to A-League action earlier than they might like, returning to AAMI Park to play Brisbane on Saturday night.Van t Schip said that wouldnt stop him and his winners sharing a beer to take in the success.You have to celebrate, he said.

Moments after the Blackhawks victory, coach Joel Quenneville was already looking forward to Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday night.Its going to be a fun day for Chicago tomorrow, he said. Biggest game maybe in the whole history of Chicago sports.Kane scored his third of the season on a dazzling play in the first, and then set up Artem Anisimovs tiebreaking power-play goal at 7:44 of the third. Anisimov extended his career-best point streak to eight games with his team-best seventh goal of the season.With Sam Bennett in the penalty box for tripping, Kane made a perfect pass to Anisimov in front for the redirect. Motte added his third of the season on an impressive rush, making it 3-1 at 12:44, and Kane assisted on Artemi Panarins sliding empty-netter with 3:01 left.For us, its probably as ugly a 5-1 win is gonna get for our team, Kane said.

The reigning NHL MVP skated around Calgary defenseman TJ Brodie, and then away from Deryk Engelland and Mikael Backlund before beating Elliott low on the glove side for a 1-0 lead at 18:58.It was a big turn of events after one, and we got better as the game progressed, Quenneville said.Chicago had a chance to add to its advantage when Calgary was whistled for too many men on the ice in the second, but Backlund made a great pass to Frolik for a tying tap-in goal at 7:06.It was still tied before the Blackhawks scored four times in the third, helped by another solid performance by Anisimov. The Russian center, off to a fast start, also got an assist on Niklas Hjalmarssons second of the season at 18:16.We were playing a great game. We really were, Calgary defenseman Mark Giordano said.
