I was shocked to hear this one as Bob Probert passed away yesterday at age 45. He had a history of drug problems as well as a drinking problem...giving his style of hockey one would think Bob would be not a happy guy. Having met him numerous times over the past 20 years I have to say Bob always had a smile on his face and never to my knowledge turned down a chance to sign a autograph...even when rushed he would stop and sign.
Bob had his place in hockey as a fighter but could also score goals.
