Scenes from the Pittsburgh Penguins victory parade

The Pittsburgh Penguins victory celebration in the Steel City yesterday drew an estimated 375,000 fans, some of whom called it an unofficial holiday in the ‘Burgh. To get a sense of what that looked like, check out this aerial view; that’s not even counting the fans that piled into parking garages along the route and watched the parade.
As Mondesi’s House pointed out (via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis(notes) was sporting some extremely fresh ink in celebration of the 2009 Stanley Cup championship. Unlike Dupuis in the majority of the playoffs, a new tattoo shouldn’t be scratched.
Coming up: Sights and sounds from the Penguins parade, from an incredible football toss to goofy fan photos to one last parting shot at Marian Hossa(notes) of the Detroit Red Wings.
If you’re looking for some great photo coverage of the event, look no further than Kiss 96.1 FM’s gallery from the parade, The Pensblog’s on-site coverage from yesterday and the boys’ killer good Flickr mothership of different photos.
Here are a few snaps, clips and stories from the day …
