Pascal Dupuis is the most emotional sports figure in this town since Jim Leyland. He never has been afraid to cry, never been afraid to show how much he cares about his sport and his team. I still can see his tears a day after the Boston Bruins swept the Penguins out of the 2013 Eastern Conference final. He thought he was going to have to leave as a free agent. I still can see his dismay in November 2014 when he announced he was done for the season and, likely, his career because of an ongoing problem with blood clots.
