He was way too young. RIP "Bird Dog".

I couldn't believe the list of players Smyth had fought during his NHL career. I remembered him as a rugged and tough defenseman, but I guess I didn't remember that he fought as much as he did. He fought everybody from Bob Probert to Link Gaetz to Stu Grimson.
