The sights and sounds of the Penguins’ Stanley Cup parade

The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup on Sunday, but really the celebrations were only beginning. It's their fourth Stanley Cup, but they were unable to win it at home for the first time in franchise history. On Wednesday, however, the city of Pittsburgh celebrated the big win over the San Jose Sharks with a huge parade.
