my son is in Boston for the parade, i hope he'll bring home photos.
The Boston Bruins rolled through the city on Duck Boats this morning, as black-and-gold-bedecked fans screamed their lungs out, jubilant at the return of the Stanley Cup after a 39-year drought.
The players waved to the crowd from aboard a convoy of 18 Duck Boats, which is winding its way from the TD Garden, past City Hall, the Boston Common and Public Garden, to Copley Plaza.
On Staniford Street, team captain Zdeno Chara brandished the Stanley Cup above his head, while standout goalie Tim Thomas held up the Conn Smythe trophy he received as most valuable player for the playoffs.
Sirens wailed, air horns blasted, and people cheered, creating a deafening roar, while orange ticker tape fluttered through the air as the parade passed. Police have said they were expecting a million people for the “rolling rally.”
