Penguins Parade 2016: Latest Details for Pittsburgh's Stanley Cup Celebration

The Pittsburgh Penguins brought the Stanley Cup back to the city for the fourth time in the franchise's history on Sunday night, defeating the San Jose Sharks 3-1 at the SAP Center. 

The Sharks took the series to a sixth game after Pittsburgh missed the chance to win the Cup at home in five, but Conn Smythe Trophy winner Sidney Crosby and the Penguins made sure that San Jose wouldn't see a Game 7 with a decisive win on Sunday.

After all, the Penguins are no strangers to winning big on the road, as ESPN Stats & Info pointed out:

Crosby had 19 postseason points en route to winning the Conn Smythe Trophy. In his postgame media conference, he referenced his consecutive Stanley Cup Final appearances in 2008 and 2009.

"I have a greater appreciation this time around," Crosby said, per the New York Times' David Pollak. 

The team shared video via Twitter of Crosby's acceptance of the trophy—which, unfortunately, occurred in enemy territory:

Sportsnet shared the team's ecstatic celebration after all was said and done:
