FILE - In this Apri 5, 1983, file photo, Montreal Canadiens' Chris Nilan grapples with along the boards with Buffalo Sabres' Larry Playfair during the first period of a NHL hockey game in Montreal. Nilan had a far greater fight than one on the ice. He battled herioin and alcohol addiction long after his career as one of the NHL's top brawlers. His life is documented in the upcoming documentary "The Last Gladiators." (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Bill Grimshaw, File)
