Hubbub reader Kelsey Borner alerted us that Boston’s No. 1 fans have officially joined the rest of the region and jumped on the Bruins’ Stanley Cup Finals bandwagon.
The duckling statues and the statue of George Washington in the Public Garden are decked out in Bruins jerseys as the B’s try to bring the cup back to Boston for the first time since 1972.
The team outfitted the statues and installed the jerseys, according to Mary Hines, spokeswoman for the Boston Parks Department.
The Bruins are down a game in the seven-game series with the Vancouver Canucks. Game 2 is tomorrow night in Vancouver.
If the ducklings are any indication, the Bruins will have quite the home-ice advantage when the series returns to Boston Monday.
