Just a ducky day after Stanley Cup

Screaming fans dressed in the black and gold of the Boston Bruins smiled, waved and stood in trees as they watched their NHL champions – and the Stanley Cup, of course – roll through city streets. And the players they adore gave it right back. As the nearly two-hour “rolling rally” celebration of the Bruins’ first title in 39 years neared its end Saturday afternoon, Andrew Ference raised one finger, then two, then three, orchestrating a familiar chant. “Let’s Go Bruins!” the fans responded. “Let’s Go Bruins!” Playoff MVP Tim Thomas (at left in photo) told the crowd “You guys wanted it. We got it and we want to share it with you today.” The players road in duck boats designed to travel on land and water. This day, they carried passengers who excelled on ice. – AP
