The Cubs and their World Series trophy were guests of honor at a Blackhawks game

The Cubs have been on quite a victory lap since winning the World Series on Wednesday night.
They've staged an absolutely epic parade 108 years in the making, sang "Go Cubs Go" with Bill Murray on "Saturday Night Live," partied at Disney World and shared in good post-championship tidings with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Kyle Schwarber, Mike Montgomery, David Ross and Jason Heyward stopped by the United Center ahead of the Blackhawks' Sunday night game with the Dallas Stars with a new franchise heirloom in tow: the Commissioner's Trophy.

Before the opening face-off, the quartet of Cubs were given star treatment on the ice:

As far as Chicago sports are concerned, the Cubs being guests of the Blackhawks brings things full circle, considering the 'Hawks were also ceremoniously toasted for their Stanley Cup title at a Wrigley Field game in June 2015, a moment that made possible the image of Joe Maddon hoisting the Cup above his head:

Not a bad week for the Cubs, eh?
