Pascal Dupuis' days of playing in the NHL are behind him. After 871 games, over which he scored 190 goals and 409 points, plus 97 playoff games that saw him win a Stanley Cup, the longtime Pittsburgh Penguins forward had to hang up the skates due to an ongoing blood clot condition.
There's no way it was an easy decision for Dupuis, who turned 37 years old just last month. He's been playing in the NHL since he was 21, a career that's spanned 15 seasons - and of course, he's been playing hockey for far longer than that.
