Newly crowned 2011 Stanley Cup champions Zdeno Chara, Tim Thomas and Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins will be guests on NBC's "Today" Show on Friday, bringing along a special guest -- the Stanley Cup.
Following their 8:30 a.m. ET chat with Ann Curry, Lester Holt and Savannah Guthrie in Rockefeller Plaza, the champs will make their way to the NHL® Powered by Reebok Store on the corner of West 47th St. and 6th Ave. for a special Q&A session, hosted by E.J. Hradek of the NHL Network.
Thomas recorded the shutout Wednesday night in Boston's 4-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final and also picked up the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Bergeron scored a pair of goals in Game 7, including the Cup clincher, and Chara -- as team captain -- was the first to lift the Bruins' first Cup in 39 years.
