I love parades; especially when they celebrate a Championship. Here are some of my pics from this afternoons 2012 Stanley Cup Champions Los Angeles Kings parade.
It starts off great with some of the Ice Crew members.
Then the buses came. Here's Trevor Lewis, Brad Richardson, Jarret Stoll and Justin Williams.
You can't miss Bob Miller at center below.
A thumbs up for Trevor Lewis and the Kings.
Second bus has Alec Martinez, Rob Scuderi, Davis Drewiske, Slava Voynov, and Willie Mitchell.
The next bus had Mike Richards, Drew Doughty, Dustin Penner, and Jeff Carter.
Kopitar lifting The Cup on the semi.
Kyle Clifford, Simon Gagne, Jordan Nolan, and Colin Fraser.
Our couch, Darryl Sutter.
Kevin Westgarth, Andrei Lotkionov, Daryl Evans, and Jonathan Bernier.
Then it ends nicely with more Ice Crew members.
