Jenksismyhero Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I dunno, the Sox parade went about 2 mph and stopped a lot. My wife and I were watching the buses go by for at least a half hour. In 2010 it was a little faster than that, but I was still out there for 10-15 minutes. I didn't go this year, but people were saying they just motored on by. Looked like they were going faster than normal on the WGN live feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It was pretty fast. Whoops, Corey Crawford had some nice beverages this morning and didn't expect to take a mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably one of the first people they expect to talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only had certain guys talk as they were announced. It was pre-planned. Kane gave him the belt, which was not in the script, and the fans yelled speeeech and he said a few words, and did appear drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not watching, but that makes more sense, never mind. Funny that Kaner is the voice of reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmteam Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Crawford's speech was the best. By far. Also most hilarious. And Duncan Keith going Braveheart was pretty fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 QUOTE (G&T @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 11:56 AM) These videos they made are not good. I didn't think it was possible to take all the drama out of such an historic Stanley Cup win, but they did. Um...my guess is they didn't start editing those videos until Tuesday morning. It is Friday morning. That's not easy. Thanks for your input though. -- Your Friendly Resident Video Editor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently 60 hours is not enough time to splice a few goals together properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 My experience was it took about an hour of work to get a minutes worth of a video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I actually thought the video was fine, with or without a short time frame to turn it around. It was a brief summary of goals/saves etc for each win. What exactly was wrong with it? Also, this is kind of scary: http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Two-A...-213556321.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Parade was pretty fun, even if I did have to get up at 4:30 this morning for it. Face got a little sunburn. Funniest part was when my friend threw up in some lady's hair and my other buddy took a piss in a bottle he was holding. Was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
