Celebrate good times... Please, please, please?

The big signing news of the week (so far):  The Return of Dupuis!  Get stoked.  In honor of his new two year contract, here are 9 stellar celebration pictures. 

Beginning with Dupes and Cappy (Why haven't I noticed before how ridiculously adorable the two are???).

This is the "Holy shit, did you see that???" moment.

 Dupes: "I can't believe I'm playing with Sidney Crosby"
Sid: "I know, I'm awesome."









"Aww, shucks!"













"It's like they're just letting us score out there.  There's no way we're that good.  Oh, wait.  We are."

"Kunyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!  Did you SEE that?"

"Hell yes.  I am GANGSTA!" (Please punch me the next time I use the word gangsta in my blog.  Horrors.)

"Oh my god!  Oh my god!  I could pee, I'm so excited!"  (Notice the appearance of MISTERBENLOVEJOY in the picture.)

Mini Dupes: "Daddy, why am I sitting in this?  What's going on?"
Big Dupes: "I have the cutest kids ever!  And I won the Stanley Cup!"

BAMF.  Nuff said.









On a more serious less ridiculous note, let's reflect on how epic it is to have Dupuis in the lineup for two more seasons.  Feel free to squeal, scream, cry with joy, become speechless...  Marion Hossa?  Pascal Dupuis?  Like there's any contest as to who's better.  (Though I have become decidedly less better toward Hossa.)  Ok.  So maybe Hossa is a better goal scorer.  But not with the Penguins.  And he had less than no chemistry with the team.  And Dupers?  He's got it in spades.  Excited to see how he fits next season.  Also, I'd like to take this moment to mention how much I love his kid's names.  I'm pretty sure that's his wife's influence.  So thank you, Carole-Lyne.  Also, apparently we share the same favorite movie.  One of my favorite movies anyway.  "Braveheart" kicks ass.

Mel Gibson, where did you go wrong?  I'm not sure I want to know the answer...


In other news, I'd like to put in a plea to re-sign Mr. President and Ruppers and to please, please try to work out a deal with Jagr.  Look at these faces:

"You know you gotta have you some of this."

"I'll do anything you want.  Just re-sign me please.  And you can take this picture with me and a Penguins uniform and maybe child number four.  I'll even name him Marc-Andre this time around.  Just keep me, PLEASE!"  It's ok, Ruppers.  You don't need to beg.  I'll do it for you.  Just think of everything he could accomplish.  He could break 15 goals for the first time ever in the NHL.  Or score another Stanley Cup winning goal.  Or just be awesome.  How many more reasons could you possibly need???

 Rupp: "Just remember, this is what I do to folks I'm mad at."















 Rupp: "Got it? Good."

"Look at all the fun we had, Mario!  Please let me come back and play?  Ray, just put Sid's face there and imagine the possibilities!  And, when we make our Stanley Cup run, maybe I'll bring back my mullet!"





Now, if those aren't well thought out pleas, I don't know what is.  $6.5 million left?  No problem.  Make it work.  (Thanks, Tim Gunn.)
