Team Chara selections
Chara: Fastest skater and target? What did he text you?
Lupul: “You better be joking.” I’m gonna take a photo for Phil. He said, “Do not put me in that fastest skater!” I said, “You’re the fastest guy in the league!”

I thought after Wade’s death the silver lining in this is that something is going to happen. There will be an independent inquiry. Players will, in confidence, speak to whomever’s asking the questions and we will take this information and come up with a strategic plan to help athletes cope. If that means tabling fighting out of hockey, then that’s what we do. If that means having social support and having professional athletes talk about depression, that’s what we do. I thought it would happen after these deaths. But if it is happening, [the NHL is] keeping it to themselves.
