    A sad day for the NHL. One of the most feared tough guys in the league.

    gotta love his career NHL stats as well. In 277 NHL games, Boogaard, a 6"7, 265 pound winger, compiled 3 goals, 16 points and 589 PIM.

    Too bad, alcohol and oxycodone mix led to his demise. Why can't everyone live a clean, straight life?

    I'm no Dr. Phil, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that self-destruction is not always intentional.

    No one assumed that he was trying to kill himself, but I have been around people abusing oxycodone and they all know the risks in abusing drugs, over the counter or obtained through other means.

    Wasn't The Boogie Man suffering from a concussion? I wondering if that had anything to do with his alcohol/drug problem. Sad to see either way
