Hat tip to Crosby on another great season and the Pittsburgh Penguins on doing the unthinkable, by capturing a back to back Stanley Cup win.
Professional sports have taken over the North American continent and celebration parades have followed suit.
In 13 National Hockey League seasons in Pittsburgh, Fleury is 375-216-66 with two ties, a 2.58 goals-against average and.912 save percentage.
This year's parade was different than last year's in that it ended at Point State Park, where a stage was set up so the team and coaches could address the fans. But making kids feel like this has got to be a pretty close second. Jake Guentzel shared a truck bed with Conor Sheary, which only made sense as the two shared a line with their captain.
Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has waived his no-movement clause for the expansion draft, according to multiple reports.
Although Vegas reportedly has interest in the two-time All-Star, Fleury's no-movement clause allows him to be traded to 18 teams, according to multiple reports, so the Penguins have options. It's no wonder the Penguins executives continue to call him the best teammate in hockey.

Authorities may need to ban the cladding used on the outside of Grenfell Tower, experts have said. Adele made a surprise visit to a vigil for victims of the recent Grenfell Tower fire in London.
Phil Kessel, Stanley Cup champion and notorious hot dog enthusiast, is famous for his wild emotions both on and off the ice. Fleury holds almost every goaltending record in Pittsburgh franchise history and is a crowd favorite.
That Game 5 (a 6-0 home win by Pittsburgh) is something I think we'll all remember.
"We couldn't compete with the (New York) Rangers and LA and the big markets and Chicago and Detroit", the Pittsburgh Penguins Hall of Famer-turned-chairman recalled. "You've got to get the guys playing the right amount of minutes, you have to have them playing within themselves". Wholey's Fish Market took it upon themselves to house a 40 pound catfish that was caught by a local customer in order to keep it safe. The man who is so careful in choosing his words, in not stoking the fire, threw out the possibility at the Penguins victory parade Wednesday.
The Penguins also won the Cup in 1991 and 1992.
