Great to hear, really is. People say he shouldn't, and they're probably right, but man that guy wants to keep playing.

Awesome, hope it works out.

If he's cleared to play, there shouldn't really be any questions as to if he should or shouldn't. The only time I'd worry is if he wasn't cleared to play and tried anyways.

I know they had the injuries on the blue line at the end but this team the last 2 years was a big difference with Dupuis and without Dupuis. As crazy as that sounds, I think stats and record back it up.

Dupuis doesn't have an ego. He doesn't do thing "his way" only. Crosby, Malkin and even Kunitz... they do not adjust to the situation, they keep doing their thing. Dupuis was always good because he was the only one of those 4 that was willing to be fluid.

I'm fine as long as he plays in the bottom 6

Great to hear, both from the teams perspective but also because he seems like an awesome guy.

i don't think the doctors would mess around with something that could kill a guy, so i think this is nothing but good news.

It's because we have no depth. When Dupuis and his 3.75M get hurt we have Beau Bennett to put in the top 6. I'd much rather have that 3.75M to spend on a younger more durable player.willeyeam wrote:Do you think it's a coincidence Sid drops off every time Dupers is hurt?thehockeyguru wrote:I'm fine as long as he plays in the bottom 6

I read they will be putting him on medications to keep his blood thinner and prevent clotting again. This is a double-edged sword - one decent cut by a blade and it could be all over as he would simply bleed to death. Take him off the meds and he could drop mid-game from a hidden clot. I don't think this story is over. My next door neighbor goes to school with Duper's kids (yes, I've seen pics) - those kids said their Dad was never going to play hockey again. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't.

Pics of what? Dupuis or his kids? Jasmine-level creepy either way.

Jonny the Bomb has some fancy Corsi stats indicating that the Crosby-Dupuis combo is a good one:willeyeam wrote:Do you think it's a coincidence Sid drops off every time Dupers is hurt?thehockeyguru wrote:I'm fine as long as he plays in the bottom 6

Him and his kids. Why is it creepy? The kid next door took a picture with a sports figure?? Really?Craig wrote:Pics of what? Dupuis or his kids? Jasmine-level creepy either way.

Your original wording was sketchy, at best...

Perhaps, but the point stands.

That being said, I still take it with a grain of salt. Kids may have said "Dad may never play again" and it was misunderstood. Or the kids are worried and said they don't want him to play again.
