Does Anybody Know a Good Dentist?
2 million fans made their way from Michigan Ave and Wacker Dr in Downtown Chicago this afternoon following the Blackhawks Stanley Cup Championship Parade and Rally. An amazing sight to say the least. Defenseman, Duncan Keith absolutely stole the show when he made his way to the podium asking those 2 million fans “Does anybody know a good dentist?” For those not familiar, during the Western Conference Finals, Keith took a puck to the face, knocking out 7 teeth in the process.
As a die hard sports fan, many, like myself, we live out our dreams through our hometown teams, whether in person in the stands, or on TV and radio. I was 7 years old in 1986 when the Bears won the Super Bowl and in my teens when the Bulls made their run in the 90′s with 6 titles in 8 years. In 2005 we watched as the White Sox won the World Series, and while happy for the city and the White Sox, I do afterall, bleed Cubbie Blue.

Blackhawks Win! Blackhawks Win!
The Chicago Blackhawks oust the Flyers with a 4-3 OT victory in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals, thanks to the game winning goal off the stick of Patrick Kane. For Marion Hossa, the 3rd time really was the charm. After missing his chance to raise the cup last year with the Red Wings and two seasons ago with Pittsburgh, he helped bring home the hardware to the Windy City. Jonathan Toews was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner, given to the Stanley Cup Playoffs MVP.
Edit: A Rally and Ticker Tape Parade is now set for Downtown Chicago, this Friday 6/11. The parade begins at 10:30am, at Wacker Dr and Washington St. The rally follows at approximately 11:30am at Michigan Ave and Wacker Dr.
