The Pittsburgh Penguins are the Stanley Cup Champions after beating the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 last night. There will be a big parade in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the upcoming hours but expect it to be a low budget affair. Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl who was hoping for the Penguins to lose said: “The Steelers’ championship parade cost us roughly $6.5 million in street closures, float rental, security expenditures, and sanitation overtime—not to mention the incalculable loss of man-hours for our struggling local businesses.” “Pittsburgh can’t afford to forget how the four Super Bowl parades we had in the 1970s were followed by mill closures, layoffs, and a decade-long recession. Let’s go Wings!”.

well This players done well job at all and they are deserving the honor in form of parade, but mayor is not happy with the cost of this parade.
