The video below shows some of the sights and sounds following Sidney Crosby along his birthday bash / Stanley Cup victory parade route in his home town of Cole Harbour. Great for those fans (like myself) that were not fortunate to be at the celebration (also available at the link above if the video below does not function properly in your browser).

Today is Sidney’s 22nd birthday and what a great way to celebrate it by having over 40 thousand local fans come out and cheer you on in a home town Stanley Cup Parade.

“I am very excited to bring the Stanley Cup back to Cole Harbour,” Crosby said in a release. “People from home have been so supportive of me since I was a youngster playing at Cole Harbour Place. I want as many people as possible to be part of this day.” The parade is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. at the Portland Hills bus terminal and head down to Cole Harbour Place where Sidney played hockey when he was younger.

Fans will have a chance to get their picture taken with the Cup, however due to the overwhelming demand, 87 special people (who have winning tickets from a charity raffle) will be able to get their picture taken with the Cup and Sidney Crosby as well.

Crosby & Penguins win Cup

The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the defending champion Detroit Red Wings last night 2 to 1 in game seven of the Playoffs to win the 2009 Stanley Cup. Crosby became the youngest captain in NHL history to hoist the Stanley Cup above his head.

Sidney Crosby exited the game early in the second period, but returned at the start of the third. He injured his left leg after absorbing a clean, but very hard hit from Johan Franzen along the boards in the neutral zone. Crosby had trouble putting weight on his foot as he glided to the bench before limping down the runway to the dressing room.

Marc-Andre Fleury made some memrobale saves in the last few seconds denying Detroit’s final attempts to force overtime. Both Henrik Zetterberg and Nicklas Lidstrom had point-blank shots that Fleury was able to stop with his leg pad and then finally lunging across the crease to get his blocker on a quick wrist shot by Lidstrom. Evgeni Malkin, who finished first in the playoff scoring was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.
