Former Canuck Gary Lupul Passes On

[Grinder 2]

Gary Lupul passed away last week. He was the type of player who made it to the NHL on guts and hard work, and I was a fan of his back in the day. He was a member of the Canucks squad that made it to the final in '82.

Rest In Peace.

Thought this was a fantastic tribute to him from cartoonist Ken Henderson:

Thanks for sharing Grinder. Hockey needs to remember the guys like this who suit up and show up for every game they play in the NHL no matter how few or how many games. I remember guys like Gary Lupul never coasting one shift. Sad news.........
