One More Reason for St. Louis Hockey Fans to Hate Chicago…

St. Louis hockey fans are not fond of the Chicago Blackhawks. Historically speaking, the hatred runs deep (see: Belfour, Larmer, Chelios, Roenick).  More recently, we’re a bit jealous that the Blackhawks began their “rebuilding” process 2-3 years before the Blues and it subsequently led to Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and a ’10 Stanley Cup Championship.

And now, the Blues’ once-exiled head coach is a hero in Chicago.

Well, here’s a little more salt for the wound…

The freaking Clydesdales at the Stanley Cup parade in Chicago last Friday??

Sure, St. Louis’ allegiance to the now-Belgian brewer is questionable, but this is just wrong.  Wrong.  Those are our floppy-footed equine and that is our beer, dammit.

Doesn’t Old Style or Pabst Blue Ribbon have a mascot that they could trot down Michigan Avenue?  Apparently not.

Side Note: There was also this from the Wrigley Field premises a few weeks ago during the Cubs/Cards series.  Jerks.
