Only with the Red Wings and Blackhawks.

Also, he was a rare kind of enforcer that could actually put up some decent points.

He's not the only one that's had drug problems. Even now, there are many players that are known to have substance problems that are still playing.

He's pretty much as loved as Gordy Howe around the Detroit area. Strange but true.

He was the best thing the Wings had During the Dead Wing days of the 80's...

dude was insane but entertaining as hell

 

[sarbuze]

Sad news, but he's been a mess with drugs and alcohol since the late 80's. Still remember the excitement watching any game where he and Domi were on the ice at the same time. Can't think of a better player vs. player rivalry.
