Pascal Dupuis was at the emotional center of the Pittsburgh Penguins' Stanley Cup win. With blood clots forcing him to retire earlier than he would have liked - a decision he did not come to easily, but had to for the sake of not just himself, but his family - he was relegated to the pressbox, unable to have a hand in the team's biggest games.
Certainly not a fun situation for him - at least, not until he was able to dress up in full gear once again and take the Cup from Trevor Daley, skating around with it.
