This Stanley Cup parade was an absolute goldmine for ridiculous pictures and videos of Penguins players. Many of the players got out of their trucks for some up-close interactions with fans, most of them were drinking, and some even became memes.
These are the best fan shots from yesterday's championship parade.
Sidney Crosby of course brought up the rear of the parade and hoisted the Cup for fans, but Brian Dumoulin hoisted some pups along the way:
This is the cutest thing ever. Not up for debate. #pensparade pic.twitter.com/8Ygz9VoCDZ

Amanda Kessel, coming off of her recent World Championship win, had her own showing of fans at the parade:

A fan shared this awesome moment of her little sister getting emotional over meeting Ian Cole:

Dumoulin was definitely one of the stars of the parade, and fans rewarded him with many beers along the parade route:
I don't know how many beers were thrown to dumo today, but I'm very sure he drank them all pic.twitter.com/N4OKmFz98T

On a side note, the above video also features former Wheeling Nailer Tanner Burton walking behind the truck as part of Bryan Rust's squad. He points at the crowd because my Wheeling friends and I were chanting his name, too.
And then Dumoulin shotgunned another beer, showing impressive skill:

Jake Guentzel interacted with fans for much of the parade route:

Olli Maatta and Justin Schultz drank their fair share of beers along the way, with Schultz's chugging becoming a meme:

The fact that Schultz walking and chugging a beer has turned into a meme is amazing. pic.twitter.com/r8RxFOmAru

Maatta was seen wiped out after the parade, and a few of his teammates made sure to pass this picture along on their own accounts as well:
