All of Chicago is celebrating today as the Blackhawks parade through the city. One reporter on Channel 7 estimated 2 million fans flooding the Loop. In a city sometimes violently divided by baseball loyalties, a uniting Championship is certainly something worth cheering. Some highlights: Bobby Hull, star of the 1961 Stanley Cup Champion Blackhawks team, congratulating this year's champs; fans around Chicago celebrating everywhere; as we walked down the street with Tye in her jersey and Mico, overhearing a tell his girlfriend, "I don't know who's cuter, the dog or the baby in the jersey"; dancing with Tye to the Hawk's score song; and laughing at Tye's similarities to some of the players, including Duncan Keith, who lost 7 teeth and has been dubbed "ruthless and toothless,"
and Jonathan Toews, who shares the same complexion and lack of facial hair with Tye.
But since I can't leave you with those disturbing images, here's one to remember.
