Comparing the Red Wings parade

After hearing all this crap the last two weeks about Pittsburgh having better fans than we do, selling more playoff tickets, having better tv numbers, and selling more merchandise, I wonder how many people Pittsburgh would have to a Stanley Cup Parade? 200,000 tops?

I'm not someone to rub things in people's faces, but since Pittsburgh tried to say they were better than Detroit in everything but winning the cup, I just had to google the Steelers Championship Parade from a few years ago.

For the Steelers 2005 NFL Championship, by far the most popular team in the city, Pittsbrugh had 250,000 out for the Parade. I think I was to high when I guessed they'd have 200,000 out if the Penguins won. After seeing the Steelers had 250,000, my guess is Crosby and company would have had 75,000-100,000.

I'm sure our 1.5 Million turn out for the Wings shut up many American Cities who have taken offence over the years for our Hockeytown Marketing Campaign.
