When I played with Bob Probert, I called him “Goomba” and he called me “Mitzy.” This book is dedicated to you, Goomba, from your Mitzy, because whether people know or don’t know, on and off the ice you were always my hero. You’re the only person I had known that had a bigger and softer heart than me, and I know that because you let me in it. I miss you every day and thank you for paving the path you did so that I could learn—right, wrong, or indifferent. You telling your story gave me the inspiration and confidence to tell mine with 100-percent, no-punches-pulled honesty.
This book is my tribute to you and Dani. I love you, Probie. I’ll never stop fighting.
