So sad to see this happen. Especially with what happened to Boogard in the same offseason

Hopefully the league will finally look into the effects of fighting and the long-term repercussions of concussions.

RIP Rick Rypien. Gone far too soon.

Never understood how people who are literally living their dream and are super rich with great lives could just kill themselves. Gotta be pretty fucked up / depressed.

Pressure, "living the dream" turning into living the job, constant media attention, not enough time to enjoy all that richness and serious anger management (personal) issues looking at his temper in the ring - not too farfetched at all.
