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.

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

Before the trophy was taken upstairs to suite, where it took in the game in style:

Montgomery, who of course was on the mound for the now-iconic final out of the World Series, also apparently resembles Blackhawks star Marian Hossa:

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?
New sweaters. 👌#FlyTheW #OneCity pic.twitter.com/1Sa3kIBHM3
