Bob Probert RIP
One of the last true tough guys, loved to watch his scraps and only 45 years old. RIP

Rest in Peace Probie. What a player. As tough as they come and skilled too. His fights with Domi and Wendel Clark were epic.

I used to love the guys that wore the T-shirts with the belts around them and read "Bob Probert undisputed heavy weight champ of the NFL", or the "Give Blood, Fight Probert" ones.

It's hard to imagine he's gone. That '87-88 Wings team, the year that Probert was an All-Star and absolutely dominated 29 goals/398 PIMS, was the team that got me into hockey. I had just moved back to Michigan from having lived in Dallas for 4 years and immediately fell back in love with the sport and that Wings team, in particular.
I remember the palpable excitement in the city, not just the arena, but actually over the entire city the day leading up to Probert's re-matches with both Troy Crowder (1991) and Tie Domi (1992).
