Blackhawks vs. Lightning Stanley Cup Preview: Who has the better celebrity fans?
Leading up to Wednesday's Game 1, Puck Daddy is previewing every facet of the Stanley Cup Final between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Tampa Bay Lightning — on the ice and off the ice.
BLACKHAWKS
When you’re good, and you have a long tradition, lots of people seem to jump on the bandwagon – especially people who like to be seen … like celebrities for example!
The Blackhawks have many, many famous followers who love to rep the greatest logo in the history of sports.
Actors Vince Vaughn, Bill Murray, Jim Belushi (who got to cradle Lord Stanley’s chalice on-ice in 2013), John (and Joan) Cusack, Jeremy Piven … and of course, highly outspoken Hawks lover CM Punk.
Do we count the Biebs standing on Chicago’s locker room logo?
DON’T STAND ON THE LOGO BIEBS!!!
And of course the entire Cubs team … freaking bandwagoners.
LIGHTNING
Tampa has the most #merican of American fans in Hulk Hogan.
There’s also … Charles Barkley, who is a friend of Tampa coach Jon Cooper according to the Lightning’s PR staff. And … Phil Hughes of the Minnesota Twins and Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays.
So yeah, quality list there?
Advantage: Chicago
Lumping Bieber in is a strike against the Hawks. But Chicago just has much more star power in this realm. Sorry Hulkamania.
