BREAKING NEWS: Bob Probert Pronounced Dead At 45

((HT: FAN590/Toronto))

Reports out of Windsor, Ontario are that former NHL enforcer Bob Probert has been pronounced dead after collapsing on a boat earlier Monday on Lake St. Clair in the province. He was complaining of chest pains on his boat when he collapsed.

Probert's death has been confirmed by the Ontario Provincial Police. Dan Parkinson, Probert's father-in-law and a police officer himself as well as emergency crews attempted CPR on Probert. He was eventually transported to Windsor Regional Hospital, where attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.

Probert picked up 3,300 penalty minutes in his 16 season in the NHL with the Red Wings and Blackhawks- almost eight times the number of total points in his career.

Here's some of Probert's greatest hits- as it were...
