The greatest -- or at the least the most publicly accessible -- victory lap in all of sports has picked up where it left off three years ago, with the Blackhawks trotting the Stanley Cup around Chicago as the city celebrates its second NHL championship since 2010.
And this time the fans are ready.
And this time the fans are ready.
Hundreds waited behind fences at O'Hare International Airport to welcome the bleary-eyed team home from Boston. The team plane carrying the Blackhawks and their championship trophy touched down shortly after 4 a.m., taxiing between fire trucks shooting water into the air and coming to rest in front of a small throng of fans.
Players mingled briefly with supporters but did not address the media before boarding a team bus. Just as they did three years ago, the players stopped first at Harry Caray's in Rosemont to celebrate with their families. Roughly 1,000 fans dressed in bright-red Hawks gear waited outside the Italian steakhouse hoping to catch a glimpse of the team.
