Wanna get down on the parade route?
Our friend? The cup is in you.
I think it's near Steve right?
The cup is close to Steve Steve.
Alright, we see the kinly cup right now.
It's still pretty far away from us right now,
but the excitement is palpable
here in this crowd. It is. I mean,
we've been enjoying ourselves quite a bit.
We've had people over here trying to
toss beers onto the float as people are
trying to toss beers off of the float.
And so when you miss it kind of turns into a
little like a little beer bomb in the street,
which we've seen some people, but.
This is the moment everybody's
been waiting for and I think that
fire truck is moving pretty slowly
because they know that this is the
moment everybody wants to save her.
Here everybody wants to see the hardware
back in Denver for the first time
in a public setting.
It almost looks like people are
throwing beers back at the players
and they're catching them on the fire
truck. Cool John Glasgow here alongside me.
This is like a it's like a like the parade
of lights or the Thanksgiving Day parade.
Except instead of throwing candy,
you've got them throwing some
food stuff every now and then,
which is kind of fun. We did.
We did just see a Phil Pritchard
keeper of the cup he just walked by,
so he's part of the parade.
But the cup quite a ways back from
him. There's Gabriel Landeskog,
on the ground walking high fiving people.
Along the parade route,
we've seen a couple of players
get off of the of the rigs
and get out into the crowd.
Gabe is probably
the perfect person to do that,
as the community guy on this
team just the face of it, gave.
Landeskog has been the face
of this team during the tough
times. So it's only fitting that
he's facing the team during the
amazing times as the Stanley Cup inches
closer to us. And after to get it,
it looks like Eric Johnson maybe is.
I think that is Eric Johnson.
I do see Nathan McKinnon
right there beside him.
Nathan McKinnon is now taking
the cup in his hands there.
He's gonna put it over his head
and the crowd is going wild.
What's special about this float
and it's a story I'm sure you've
heard time and time again this
week is the things that these guys
have been through to win this cup.
Eric Johnson, the longest
tenured athlete in Denver sports.
He was there during the rough years,
gave Landeskog was there during
the rough years.
Nathan MacKinnon was,
and so to see them together
share this moment is something
incredibly special with this fan
base that's stuck around with
them through the 48 point season.
Goes another girl.
Of course, Eric Johnson, who quite
famously this week had mentioned that
there isn't any alcohol left
in the city of Denver after the
celebration for the last few nights,
grabs a beer from somebody in the crowd.
Looks like he's going to return the favor.
It's out, it's out.
That's Apple too. It's apple.
I hear that that's apple juice.
Sparkling cider
but. What I love about this guys
is that they're taking their time.
With this flow, this is like if Santa.
At the end of the parade of lights,
just kind of lingered
and said hi to everybody.
To get that every year,
you don't get this every year.
I'm trying to spot the dent on the Stanley
Cup there to see if they've replaced.
They fixed the bottom of it yet. Quite
a crowd on this truck.
Think of.
It's pretty cool to watch.
There's the keeper of the cup.
Back behind the cup. There, Brad.
I believe it's his name.
He's one of the two keepers.
Think about what this team has
been through just in the last
two months and the grind of
the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Having to win 16 games over
the course of two months,
the way that they did, it's nonstop.
It's a game every other night.
It's a reason for them to celebrate.
The cup is here.
It's time for us all to celebrate too.
