Chicago sets parade plans
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.

wow, really? i hope the flyers players get wind of this quick. Scumbags for planing a parade, ignorant mother f's— azguz
I hope we are rubbing this in their face after the Flyers come back to win this thing. Go Flyers!— Legion of Doom- Bad karma, Chicago. Let's go Flyers! Let's go Flyers!— FireTMac&Wheeler!
Hate to rain on that parade, but...— DaveCicc- i guess fail to plan, plan to fail doesn't make sense here?— prominal88
- 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.— jphil
- Cmon Flyers! We HAVE to win this thing! Chicago and their fair weather fans don't deserve a parade.— ChrisM
- Chicago has been rather arrogant the past few days. It would be wonderful to see all of this blow up in their faces.— PhillyRising
- Legion Of Doom, funny you get your nic from a chicago born and bread wrestling tag team, The Road Warriors.— Dustin Bufflin
- Not happening. The city just jinxed itself.— the sichee-ation
- Not happening. The city just jinxed itself.— the sichee-ation
- If this doesnt get the players pumped I would guess nothing will. Maybe this will even carter fired up.— flyguys67
- wow....bulletin board material!!!!!!!!!!— Landros
- wow....bulletin board material!!!!!!!!!!— Landros
- @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!— Coniglio101
Kiss of Death. And what's with all that carp on their hot dogs?- You guys realize the Flyers have plans in place, too, right? They just didn't leak like Chicago's did. If they didn't have it planned yet, they'd be morons.— Coskey
- wow ....Bulletinboard material!!!!!— Landros

- so has chicago announced who is paying for the parade? SEARS?
- How much does Mayor Nutter want for the Hawks parade?
'Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! ...'— Ohmy- Comment removed.
- @Dustin Bufflin Legion of Doom refers to the LeClair, Lindros and Renberg Flyers line in the mid 90s.— zmann30
- The Hawks will be hoisting the Cup in your sorry a** arena tonight, losers! The Hawks are going to stuff it down you pitiful Flyer fans. Go ahead tough guys, throw beer on a fan wearing a Hawks sweater. Whatever makes you feel tough you little cheese whiz.— ANDY-IS-FAT
- Chicago loves Michael Jordan, who recently has started wearing a Hitler mustache. Therefore, it's quite clear to me that Chicagoans are Nazis. DESPICABLE!!!— Tacklebury
- The City of Philadelphia is planning its celebration too. You just can’t wait till the last minute, you have to be ready for all contingencies win or lose. We have scenarios for win or lose tonight, and win or lose on Friday. I assure you the Flyers do too. Makes a good story though.— Skena
- Legion of Doom = Lindros, LeClair & Renberg (1995-1997)— A Friend
- and besides...we are boycotting all things chi-town...just those with feathers in their headbands.— MFPhils
- huge violation!— lukebonbon

Game 7 Friday. No parade on Friday.- Game 7 Friday. No parade on Friday.
- I HOPE THIS BACKFIRES ON THEM. LET'S GO FLYERS !!! THIS IS DEFINITELY GONNA FIRE OUR GUYS UP ! I KNOW ITS GOT ME MAD !!— fshldy1
- Don't count your chicken before they hatch Chicago. You never know.— phillylover26
- Memo to Chicago fans. Firts offf, you clowns are not "loveable losers" with your Cubs. They are a big market team with plenty of income and yet have failed to win a WS for over 100 years. The Flyers will come back and make your Hawk's to have to wait another year. Enjoy your deepdish.— davekrieg
- HAHA YOU JINXED YOURSELVES CHICAGO!— forbiddenlist
- humm...and I am sick of hearin about Philly fans in a degrading way...sure we got our clowns...But at least we don't physically assault coaches and umpires...or get beat up by our own players. We get tagged by the media cause the media knows we have heart...no matter how much bad publicity you gave a town like chi...everyone knows they are soft. That's why half the town is rockin cards gear...— MFPhils
- Nice one Coniglio, did you also notice that the idiot also doesnt know how to spell the players name he used for a user name? It's Dustin Byfuglien not BUFFLIN, duh you lame chicken hawk fan!!— wavydavy2000
- I am pretty sure by Legion of Doom he is referring to the Lindros, Leclair and Renberg line for the Flyers back in the 90s.— lasalleguy
- @Dustin Bufflin - "It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt." - Mark Twain— no10leclair
- Of course the Flyers have plans in place for a parade...but they're not arrogant or stupid enough to leak them early.— Phantoms9805
- The old expression "Don't count your chickens before they hatch" comes to mind. Hopefully the Fly Boys will scramble the eggs that Chicago is counting on to bake in their celebration cake this evening.— unbelieveable!
- We got 'em right where we want 'em. Let's go Flyers!— Eric the K
- Comment removed.
- Coniglio- while you are correct, since this is a Flyers post, one would have to assume that the Legion of Doom moniker was taken from the nickname of the Flyers line of Lindros, Leclair and Renberg fom the 90s. All of which still makes Dustin Bufflin a dummy.— pbuscio
Wow, what amateurs!! The "sports gods" hate that type of stuff.— gho_matt- And LOL @ "hyper-awareness of the world of fake wrestling"— gho_matt
- This is news? All of you who think this is bulletin board material are idiots. Of course they are planning the parade. EVERY CITY THAT IS IN THE FINALS OF EVERY MAJOR SPORT DOES THIS! The Flyers and the City BOTH have plans in place already if the Flyers are to win. It's called being prepared!!!— BrewThru
- Does anyone remember the 19-0 Patriots!!! -=GO FLYERS!!=-— StJames888
- Three words: DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN— Aoretta
- Along with the Pronger picture, this is probably not the best of ideas. I also find it very funny that in Chicago's "validating" Game 5 win, they GAVE UP 4 GOALS!!! Who was "overwhelmed?" You can just lose. It doesn't have to be more than one team scored more goals. After the 1st period it was basically Flyers 4 Hawks 3.
- Way to go, Tacklebury, but something tells me that some outsider with a name criticizing the girth of the Eagles' coach is indeed a turd of the highest order.— fizzbin
- Weren't the Bruins planning a similar type of celebration after going up 3-0 on the Flyers a few weeks ago??? I haven't heard the "Fat Lady" singing just yet......— JustaTXjock
- I mean, the city has to plan the parade... I get that... but it has to be an absolute secret until the point when the team actually wins. To make the plans public before the fact is totally asking for the whole thing to blow up in their faces... which of course, I hope it does. Let's go Flyers!— chaos91
- Now where did that wonderful Tacklebury vs ANDY-IS-FAT repartee go? Hmmm...— fizzbin
- I'm here, but leaving in 5 minutes to head down. ANDY-IS-FAT has left the building. But who knows, maybe he'll show and he can tell me to my face what he thinks of Philly fans.— Tacklebury
- The Legion of Doom, both the hockey and wrestling variety, retired years ago. You most likely think they're current because when they were playing was when Chicago last paid attention to hockey before this year. By the way, congrats on the clever newspaper cover. I almost laughed the first time I saw it... during the World Series when the NY Post had the same idea to superimpose female legs under Shane Victorino. Guess I can't fault you though. It happened in late October. Chicago fans wouldn't know anything about baseball that occurs past getting swept in the Divisional Series.— Phightin Phil
I think the Flyers should parade through Chicago after they win the Cup on Friday. Put them in glass-covered Popemobiles and let them taunt the Chicago fans who thought they had it in the bag.
Kiss of Death for the Hawks! Big pressure is on them now. I see a choke.— dogman5- It aint over till the fat lady sings... GO FLYER's.........— Jerseyrebel
- and dustin's real name is dustin buttfuking— xterra2007
- Wow, can't believe that made it past the censors...well done!— fizzbin
- All this coming from fans who worship a fake boxer while you have Frazier and Liston to brag about. It might take 7, but another feather will be added to the Indian.— bbq247
- look what happened when the eagles' plans for the parade were published. didn't turn out so well. so, just because you've pictured how the parade would go doesn't mean squat!— liberty_bell
- Ohmy, you reflect the stupidity of the home town posters to perfection. It was the JAPANESE that bombed Pearl Harbor! IDIOT !!!!!!!!!— Billy Madison
- Hey Dustin, your ignorance is showing! But what else would you expect from a Dusty come lately Chicago fan. Legion of Doom besides the superfriends & wrestlers tagteam, was the Flyer's 90's hockey line of Lindros, Leclair & Michael Renburg(sp?). you non-hockey fan *-hole! have fun at your parade, NOT!!! Go Flyers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.s. I'm sure you were one of the 5k fans a few years back right?— dc8dane
- Bring your best tonight Flyers, so when the Hawks hoist the cup you won't have any excuses! Hawks best effort beats Flyers best effort any way you look at it! GO HAWKS— Billy Madison
- Hey regassert6, your drinking way to many kool-aids, a hockey game consists of three 20 minute periods. The way the "BLACKHAWKS" came out of the gate your lucky the score was only 3 to ZIPO "HAWKS" after the 1st period. "GO HAWKS", it's been 5 years since our last parade.— TOM A HAWK

- Comment removed.
- This goes 7 easy. Then watch hawk fans cry about pronger, the refs, the hockey gods, etc. etc....— hititwheretheyaint
- Yeah DB get your comic and wrestling facts straight! How dare you. The game will come down to karma so the Hawks will looose.Come on now. I think it is the rest of the country that belives in curses not Chicago folks. Hawks in 6!! oh no i just jinxed us!! Might as well not even play the game and just give the cup to philly. The pressure of course is only on Chicago. Go home or win is no pressure because your coach is just happy to be there. I know why your players would need motivation from somewhere else after hearing the coach spew that garbage.— bbq247
- Tom A Hawk----You are DOES NOT equal "your."
- This takes a lot of guts. The jinx is on!!!!! I hope they just sealed thier own fate. If this info dosen't motivate our guys nothing will. We have got to beat these arrogant SOB's. Best of luck to the Flyers tonight. We need big games from everybody. Can't just depend on a few players. It's a team sport. Everyone in that locker room has got to be ready to play the best game of thier lives. LETS GO FLYERS!!!— suknay
- Dustin Bufflin wouldn't get laid on his wedding night.— gob1234

- Enjoy losers...Say it for me...Just wait til nest year...Chumps...— ursad&pathetic
- Fire up the floats in Chicago....— 5_4_Fighting
Scumbag Philly fans will have to wait for their parade...boo hoo!- HAHAHAHA SEE IT DONT MATTER IF WE LEAK THERE WILL BE CELEBRATIONS WE HAD NO DOUBT WE WOULD STOMP THE FLYERS SO WITH THAT BEING SAID GO EAT YOUR DAMN CHEESE STEAKS AND WHILE WE DRINK FROM THE CUP!!!!!!!!!!!! /*/*/*/HAWKS WIN/*/*/*/*/— juggalogothly
- THE BLACKHAWKS WIN....Philly just like NY...we`ll show you how to throw a parade.....and your all invited to watch it on tv— BlueBlood
- Let me hear it, losers...Just wait til next year...pathetic chumps...try and find lives...oh, right, that's not going to happen...— ursad&pathetic
- Phightin Phil said: "Guess I can't fault you though. It happened in late October. Chicago fans wouldn't know anything about baseball that occurs past getting swept in the Divisional Series." Can't argue with baseball baseball ignorance. Think: 2005— Hawklabs
