Meh, it takes more courage to admit a huge error than quitting on something if the docs said you're done, which isn't the case here.
Couldn't disagree more.
I don't really agree with Dupuis. If I was in the situation, I feel like I'd stop for my partner. I'm that kind of person. Dupuis obviously is not and likely has a partner that respects and understands that part of him. Especially given the fact that he has bounced around the league and was undrafted.
I think making rash judgements off of reading 200 words somebody wrote is a little outlandish though. Especially when people are saying Dupuis doesn't care about his family. People are complex, and while he may be selfish, I think the first article clearly points out as soon as he saw his family and realized that he could lose them because he was lying about a blood clot, he obviously values them greatly.
You are making a strawman. I haven't seen anyone claim he doesn't care about his family.
However, he did put hockey before them when he ignored the obvious signs of a blood clot that he was warned about after his first one. That's one of the real facts we have in this entire debate, unless you believe Dupuis is lying.
It is also obvious he is going back on the ice for himself, not his kids. I severely doubt they would love him any less if he was no longer a hockey player.
