Chicago sets parade plans

POSTED: Wednesday, June 9, 2010, 2:24 PM

Chicago has planned a ticker tape parade for Friday or Monday, depending on when the Blackhawks clinch the Stanley Cup, according to WGN.

As WGN pointed out, "Notice there's no wiggle room here, Hawk fans expect the team to bring home the Stanley Cup, something they haven't done since 1961."

"If the Hawks win in Game 6 tonight, expect a Friday celebration. Should the Hawks lose tonight and win Friday, the city will have its celebration Monday."

There is, of course, the small matter of winning the thing first.

Time and place have not been released yet, but as any Eagles fan knows, leaking the parade details before the result is locked up is not a good thing. Plans for Philadelphia's parade for the Eagles leaked before the Super Bowl against the Patriots, and we know how that turned out.

    I am sure the flyers have no desire to see these bozos carry a cup around on our home ice. If they dont play their best game tonight, they dont deserve to win the cup anyway. Personally, I think the flyers win big tonight. Game 7 will be up for grabs.

    Cmon Flyers! We HAVE to win this thing! Chicago and their fair weather fans don't deserve a parade.

    Chicago has been rather arrogant the past few days. It would be wonderful to see all of this blow up in their faces.

    If this doesnt get the players pumped I would guess nothing will. Maybe this will even carter fired up.

    @Dustin Bufflin - the term "Legion of Doom" isn't from there. It's the cadre of villains from Super Friends, which started back in the '70's. The wrestling tag team took the name from that. Your hyper-awareness of the world of fake wrestling, combined with your 'born and BREAD(?!)' comment, betray your simple-mindedness. Way to go, dummy!
