Chicago was seeing Thursday what a lot of the Blackhawks’ opponents were seeing during the 2015 Stanley Club Playoffs — a lot of red. But instead of cowering because of the imposing Blackhawks, an estimated 2 million people helped celebrate the Blackhawks’ third Stanley Cup in the last six years.
It all started with a parade and was capped with a ceremony worthy of a champion at Soldier Field.
