RICHMOND, Va. -- If you'd told me on the day this deal was made in 2008 that Pascal Dupuis would end up being the player who'd make a more lasting impact on the Penguins, I've have called you crazy. As anyone who watched his scenes in HBO’s “24/7: Road To The Winter Classic" or his many interactions with Dan Potash on Penguin game broadcasts, Duper is one of those role players you can't help but remember fondly, for his wit and entertainment value as much as his contributions on the ice.
