Pascal Dupuis spent most of the last decade in Pittsburgh, and Penguins fans let him know they appreciated every second of it on Monday.

A great moment for the whole organization.

Dupuis was forced to announced his retirement last week due to lingering issues with blood clots. He announced it while the Penguins were on the road, and since he only played in 18 games this season, fans at home in Pittsburgh probably wondered if they’d seen the last of one of their favorite players.
No matter. Pittsburgh returned home on Monday and played a video tribute while Dupuis watched from the sidelines.
Merci @Duper0009. #WSHvsPIT https://t.co/IrVlPouoVD
— NHL (@NHL) December 15, 2015 Just gives you goosebumps, huh? That shot of Dupuis choking back his emotions as the video ended just hits hard. Good to see the Penguins give him a proper send-off after his career ended so ingloriously.
