Much like the contempt for Bettman, the hatred of Pronger is nearly universal except for in the city where he plays.

That's almost universally true of sports a-holes. The only exception of which I can think is A.J. Pierzynski. One teammate said he's, "one those guys you hate when he's on the other team and hate just a little bit less when he's on yours." :)

This parade is absolutely out of control. Looks like 5x the number of people who were down there for the Sox celebration. This is so damn cool.

Not my pic, btw. Forwarded to me by some friends in the city.

Note that the cross street is the parade route, so you have people 1/2 block deep on a side street! LOL

Link for those who want to watch the rally online.

Awesome pictures but why aren't you there?!?!?!

If I live long enough to ever see one of those parades come through this God-forsaken town, the last place in the world you'll find me is in front of this damn computer. :D

Sound right as there are about 4x as many Cub fans as Sox fans . Those people were not there.

Whats really amazing is how the Hawk fan base grew from 20,000 people to 2,000,000-3,000,000 in 2 years.

Not that Im against it. I think its awesome especially since Im a member of that band wagon and I even know what Icing is.

Build them a winner and they will come.

Also, I am kind of amazed by chicago's level of resentment towards Pronger;
For those without the benefit of video:
"I think Chris Pronger is the biggest idiot in the league. I can't stand the guy one bit. I hope I never get to see him again. And if I see him again, I may have to punch him."
And then on the infamous "Chrissy Pronger" newspaper poster, with the Flyers defenseman in a skirt:
"That's perfect. He should have worn that out here tonight. He was terrible."
(that was Adam Burish)
That's a bizarre outburst from Burish, (who I honestly didn't even know played for Chicago even though I watched the whole series) but Pronger's comebacks were pretty funny.
