Before the puck dropped Sunday night between the Chicago Blackhawks and Dallas Stars, the Blackhawks organization welcomed the World Series champion Chicago Cubs to the United Center and invited them to show off the Commissioner's Trophy during the pregame festivities.

Before the Cubs players presented the trophy to the crowd, the ice was decorated with a one-of-a-kind hologram:

This celebration isn't ending any time soon -- and to be honest, I don't blame 'em...

Thanks for dropping by, Champs! #FlyTheW pic.twitter.com/ljK995uOjP
