stanley cup comes home and amanda gets squashed

I covered the Blackhawks Stanley Cup Victory Parade downtown Chicago last Friday, it was NUTS to say the least, what with 2 million people and all showing up. I lost the intern, Mike, within 10 minutes. People were passing out due to heat, fighting, drinking, crying, yelling; but despite this one woman WITH A BABY who yelled at me I saw the benevolence and bounteousness of people coming together for a great part of Chicago history. Here are some favorites. I was more intrigued by the spectators than the hockey players themselves.
