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.

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

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