Pascal Dupuis Appreciation Society

[brwi]

I would officially like to put in a request to be on this band wagon. Duper is playing at an All-Star level.

No need to request, the Pascal Dupuis bandwagon comes along and pulls you on-board

[BuckintheLou]

Pay the man! I'm going to be pissed If they go cheap with him. I'll be watching Ray. Don't screw this up. For crying out loud they should have signed him already. Plus the dudes a warrior...never hurt, plays every game at 100%

True. No quit in the dude whatsoever!

Joeicepick must be Mario and you must be Ron

How'd you know?

[Rugbymuffin]

When he scored the shortie I had really mixed emotions - are we going to keep Duper or Iggy?!

You wanna re-sign the round block to go in the round hole, or the square block to go in the round hole ?

It is fairly safe to assume, Iginla is going to want way more money then Duper. Plus what else does Duper have to do ? Look at the numbers, the fit, the locker room, the clutch plays/goals, the playing style, and I find it very hard to argue whom is the better player to re-sign for this team. I'll take production over a name and nostalgia any day.

For now.......fun to have them both on the same team, I think Iginla has his best series during this run against the Bruins, IMO.

I hope Duper has a huge series vs Boston.

I hope Duper has a huge series vs Boston.

Whew, I was worried there for a minute that you were hoping he would struggle.

DK with a nice write-up on #9. He's a charter member of PDAS.

Did you know that, since the 2011 Winter Classic in which Crosby was concussed, Dupuis has scored 32 goals without Crosby or Evgeni Malkin on the ice?
Did you know 30 of those goals came at even-strength or short-handed since he's rarely on the power play? Did you see that laser over the shoulder of the Senators' Craig Anderson in Game 1 of the last round?
Neither did Anderson.

Best quote from him in the PG article today about his scoring development from a pure speed wing that just looked to get to spot for a big slapper:

"Now, it's more rebounds in the crease. It's charging hard to the net and having someone find my stick. It's winning battles in really tight quarters. I know those goals are there. I want them."

I used to always say "Top six talent. Bottom 6 execution" for Dupuis. That hasn't been true for a couple years now.

[Shakes]

That is a great quote, and he lives it every shift.

[SolidSnake]

I hope he and others feels that way when he's making $5 mil+

[Shakes]

First, feel what way?

Second, he'll get a deserved raise, but he ain't getting $5M anywhere.

He's getting $4+million unless he takes a home team discount from Mario/GMRS. His current peer group consists of guys making anywhere from 4 to over 7. If he accepts less he's either saved his money well or he is getting bad advice.

[Lt. Dish]

Read in a few places that Dupuis is crushed. Please work it out, Duper, and stay.



Josh Yohe ‏@JoshYohe_Trib 12h
Pascal Dupuis was probably the most upset man in the locker room. Mario Lemieux walked into the room and shook Dupuis' hand. Classy gesture.

Rob Rossi ‏@RobRossi_Trib 12h
#TribHKY >> Ryan Malone. Jordan Staal. Pascal Dupuis. ALL had the same look in room after a #pens playoff series loss.

[WDWBurghGooner]

All water under the bridge and crying over spilt milk now but...I still don't understand how Duper (one of your leading goal scorers in the playoffs) gets virtually no power play time in this series. The pp sucked and it probably wouldn't mattered anyhow but that just seems ultra-dumb to me.

[Rugbymuffin]

Hopefully the Penguins learn their lesson..........

Re-Sign Dupuis


let Iginla, Morrow, and a hole mess of others walk.

Wears it better than Nash does.

from the 2000-01 season.

13 years ago, and he doesn't look any different than he does now.

[Crankshaft]

One up. From 1999-2000 season with Shawinigan Cataractes.

That one doesn't look anything like him.

Eyebrows.

The man can do it all. Let us renew our appreciation!

Stick tap to Penspal for the PDAS mention in his Morning After OP.

[no name]

Can you believe we got Marian Hossa as a throw-in in the Dupuis trade?

Hard to believe that trade worked out so well even though Hossa left at the seasons end. Esp. when you look at what we gave up.
