And the parade!

Because what fun is winning the Stanley Cup without a great big party?

But first, a shot from the party Mike Illitch threw for the players and their families and friends when they arrived at Detroit Metro Airport early Thursday morning. Could it possibly be any more random? Aaron Downey and an unknown woman, presumably a friend of his, are doing the hustle, while a REALLY PISSED-OFF-LOOKING chef walks by in the background. I don't think this one needs any LOL help from me!


The rest of the photos are courtesy of the Detroit Free Press, of course. Thanks, Freep!

Epic Win: Stanley Cup Finals, Game 6

Detroit 3, Pittsburgh 2. That's all the commentary it needs. :-)

(Most photos courtesy of the Detroit Free Press, except the triple shot of Marc-Andre Fleury, which originally came from NBC and was stop-motioned by my mom.)

Finals, Game 4

I had started LOLing Game 4, but then Game 5 happened, and it's rather hard to LOL after a 3OT loss! So there are only 3 pictures for Game 4 because that's all I got done. (The picture of the Penguins bench is actually not from this game, but it seemed an appropriate place to put it.)
