DENVER | There was Nathan MacKinnon jumping off the fire truck so he could walk the streets and shake hands with the swarm of Avalanche fans. Later, Erik Johnson took the stage and got the crowd to participate in a giant sing-along to the team’s adopted anthem, “All The Small Things” by blink-182. From “A” (alcohol, lots of alcohol) to “Z” (Zamboni drivers taking the road), the parade held Thursday to celebrate Colorado’s Stanley Cup title offered a little bit of everything.
But the MVPs of the Avalanche’s Stanley Cup celebration parade Thursday, hands down, were the fans who kept defenseman Bo Byram out of the penalty box. In a moment that went viral on social media not long after the streets had cleared, Byram, the Avs’ 21-year-old defenseman, had jumped down from his fire truck to greet the people. He also happened to be rocking two cans of Coors Light for the trip.
The Denver couple was confused when they first saw a car they didn't recognize pull up to their house. "I was the first one who saw the car being parked in our driveway. I saw the car backing up," Rudenko told KUSA.
