Closing is not a routed event, so you can't use it in an EventTrigger. Perhaps you could start the storyboard in the handler of the ClosingEvent in the code-behind and cancel the event... something like that :

private bool closeStoryBoardCompleted = false;

private void Window_Closing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
    if (!closeStoryBoardCompleted)
    {
        closeStoryBoard.Begin();
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

private void closeStoryBoard_Completed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    closeStoryBoardCompleted = true;
    this.Close();
}
