Already talking about it in the hockey banter thread.
Very sad. He was before my time, but with youtube I have watched many of his fights. He was a warrior on the ice. Just sad his earlier demons seem to have taken a toll on his body he could not over come.

I still watch the fight with domi from time to time.

Man thats way to young.

Way too young to die. One has to wonder if all the substance abuse caught up with him...

I remember those jersey's from my own minor hockey days!! I can remember Probert from the old Bruise Brothers days with Joey Kocur. My father met him a couple times, though as he was acting as a professional witness in one of Probert's many DUI arrests it wasn't under the best circumstances.

Sad, and how horrible for his family to have to stand by helplessly and watch him pass!
