This is pretty awesome. There were no scheduled stops in Saturday's 2011 Boston Bruins parade, but Zdeno Chara didn't care. Joined by the Stanley Cup on the first float, he hopped off the back somewhere just past City Hall Plaza and walked right along the barricade to allow fans the chance to touch the Stanley Cup.
