His father in law says bob lost the fight of his life. In my opinion, that was the only fight the guy lost. He was a great enforcer and really kept the crowd going.

as a fan and player of hockey, The one thing that bums me out about his death is that he was a great enforcer and a fan favorite for the red wings, my favorite team, and probably many others, and yet i wasn't born yet at the time or I was too young to actually see him play/fight and fully grasp and appreciate his talent and grit. All I can sadly do now is watch videos on youtube of his prowess and dominance in battle, but never see him do it. RIP.
