A real loss - he could have made a great coach.

RIP, Bob - you made hockey fights an art.

Probert/Clark and Probert/Domi were classics. I was shocked to hear the news on the way home from work.

Growing up, after Yzerman, Probie was my guy. I was big on collecting tapes back then and aside from wrestling stuff, Probert fights were my next biggest collection. It's sad to see him go this early, but he had a troubled life.

RIP Probie. You will be missed.

Man, on a boat, what a horrible way to go, not even close to being able to get to help.

RIP Tough Guy.

ESPN has been reporting that he collapsed on a boat in "Ontario, Canada".

Thanks for narrowing it down for me, guys.
