Former enforcer Bob Probert dead at 45 from an apparent Heart Attack... I wonder if it was drug related?...Probert may have been the best fighter ever in the NHL...RIP!

I heard about this when I was in a cab coming home. Hard to believe. Him and Wendle Clarke has some classic scraps on the ice.

He was on a boat with his family when he collapsed, so I doubt it was drug related. Also from what I've read, he'd been drug free for years and had finally turned his life around. I'm sure his many years of cocaine and alcohol abuse significantly weakened his heart though, unfortunately.

RIP Probie. You will be missed. I still think he could beat death in a straight fist fight... but death cheats.

My favorite Bob Probert moment:
