RIP Bob Probert

Guess a life of dope don't pay off, 45 yrs old and the best years of his life wasted.

I've heard he had alcohol problems. Haven't heard about "dope".

Well I don't think he was looking after the coke for someone else?

It's sad this happened. He carved out a niche for himself in hockey, but couldn't keep it together outside the rink. I remember reading once when he was still playing that the Red Wings sent him to the Kronk Gym in Detroit, so Emanuel Steward, the famous boxing trainer, could improve his fighting technique.

He was a fighter with a scoring touch....rare breed. Also a very nice person the one time I met him.

RIP Bob
