Running for Your Life: In My Blood by Pascal Dupuis

http://bit.ly/1ABbLQB Mad April (and May and June), the Stanley Cup hockey playoffs, will be here in no time.

They always make a great story. How will the Kings climb, the Penguins swoon? The Maple Leafs? The Leafs wait till next year.

This spring, though, my favorite story when it comes to the game is the one above by Pascal Dupuis in Derek Jeter’s The Players’ Tribune. Take a moment and read this memoir piece above by a hockey player with a blood condition identical to the one that has me running every other day for the past thirty-plus years.

In a report out this week, http://bit.ly/1HyH3M0, Penguins manager Jim Rutherford said, “I do feel confident he’ll return to the team next year.”

If the Pens play with half the heart of the man on the sidelines, they’d win the Cup in a walk.
