Bruins Celebrate Stanley Cup Title In Style, Rack Up Huge Bill At Foxwoods

Boston Bruins Honored At Fenway Park With Ceremony Before Red Sox Game

The parade may be over, but the celebration has just begun for the Bruins in Boston.

Zdeno Chara and the B’s were honored at Fenway Park with a ceremony before the Red Sox and Brewers played their series finale early on Sunday afternoon.

In true black and gold fashion, the Red Sox even adopted the musical styling of the Bruins, playing the B’s goal horn and celebration song (Kernkraft 400 by Zombie Nation) when they scored a run.

Boston currently leads Milwaukee, 4-0, and has the bases loaded with two outs in the first.

Bruins Parade: One Million Fans Expected To Attend B's Celebration

Boston Bruins Parade Draws Record Crowd As Team Hoists Stanley Cup

The Boston Bruins championship parade drew record numbers, with well over one million fans lining the streets of Boston to watch the players and coaches ride through on duck boats and hoist the Stanley Cup for all to see.

The parade, which began at 11 a.m., started outside TD Garden and ended at Copley Square. Boston Police said that the parade was the biggest sports rally in the history of the city, even bigger than the Red Sox rolling rally in 2004.

"Mayhem, but all good," Bruins President Cam Neely said in describing the day. "These fans have waited a long, long time for this. They deserve this. Today is their day to really celebrate it, which is really great." (via WEEI.com)

Not only did current players have the chance to revel in their success,  but also management - Neely included. Neely, who played with the Bruins for the majority of his career but never won a Cup, was touched by the fan support.

"It's really sweet for everyone that's put some time and effort in. The people in the back office, work extremely hard, don't get the recognition. Obviously, all the players, coaches, GMs, it's going to be a very sweet day for us." (via WEEI)

Boston Bruins' Parade May Not Be Very Memorable Without Speeches

Marc Savard Will Attend Boston Bruins' Championship Parade

Marc Savard, who played 25 games with the Boston Bruins this season before suffering a concussion that forced him to miss the rest of the season, will attend the Bruins' championship parade on Saturday morning.

Savard is not currently eligible to have his named inscribed on the Stanley Cup, as he missed the cut off line of games played. Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli is going to petition to have Savard's name, as well as Steve Kampfer's, written on the Cup.

"I don't know what the process is," Chiarelli admitted. "I've given it a little bit of thought. Certainly those two deserve to be on it, so we'll see what we can do to get them on it and go from there." (via WEEI)

Many question whether or not Savard will ever play hockey again after suffering the concussion this year, his second in two seasons.

Savard had two goals and eight assists last season for Boston. In 14 seasons, Savard has 207 goals and 499 assists for 706 points.

Boston Bruins Parade Route Goes From TD Garden To Copley Square

The parade route has been set for the Boston Bruins' championship celebration, with the parade starting at 11 a.m. at TD Garden and ending at Copley Square in downtown Boston.

Originally, rumors indicated that the parade might take place on Friday, but Saturday worked out better for the players, according to Boston mayor Thomas Menino.

"This is the players' rally, not my rally," Menino said. "We wanted to do what the players wanted. They're the ones that brought the championship to Boston." (via WEEI)

Boston won its first Stanley Cup since 1972 on Wednesday night, defeating the Vancouver Canucks, 4-0, in Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.

Tim Thomas was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy immediately after the game. The trophy honors the MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Boston Bruins Parade Set For Saturday At 11 A.M. ET

The morning after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 to win the Stanley Cup, there's been one question on everyone's mind: When is the Bruins victory parade? After meetings at the Mayor Thomas Menino's office, we have our answer: Saturday morning at 11 a.m. ET, Lord Stanley's Cup will make it sway through Boston.

The city of Boston picked Saturday over Friday, apparently not concerned with the larger crowds a weekend parade will almost certainly draw and a Red Sox game at 1 p.m.

There is no word yet on what route the parade will follow, but it will likely be similar to that of the victory celebrations held by the Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics.

Boston Bruins Parade Not Yet Scheduled, Likely To Be Held Friday Or Saturday

The Boston Bruins are Stanley Cup Champions (just wanted to type that again). The Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup FInals Wednesday night, 4-0, led by a Tim Thomas shutout. That part you probably already know. What you don't yet know is when the championship parade through the streets of Boston will be held, and that's because no one knows. 

Thursday morning, members of Mayor Thomas Menino's office will meet to discuss a plan for the victory parade, and decide if it will be held on Friday or Saturday. 

One would think that after the city did not allow for a viewing party of Game 7 at TD Garden because of safety concerns, they would be inclined to hold the parade on Friday, with the assumption that a work day would keep the crowd size to a relatively containable number. 

Adding to the decision-making process: The Boston Red Sox are playing in Fenway Park at 1 p.m. ET.
