sad day for hockey, especially for those of us who are Detroit or Chicago fans.

Very, very sad day.

Best enforcer in the history of the game, Bob you will be missed. RIP.

Yes he was, and the Kocur/Probert tandem was ridiculous. I dont think we will ever see so much toughness together on one team ever again

I agree completely. Probert's time with the Wings was over before I started to really get into hockey and become a Red Wings fan, but I just loved that guy. I loved his toughness, heart and loyalty to his teammates. From everything I have been told by some of my American friends, he was a really good guy off the ice as well. The Probert/Kocur tandem, as you said, was insane. I'm amazed that other teams had the balls to actually step onto the ice to face us. If I was a player and I saw a team with those guys in it, I'd be like "ummm... maybe we should just not show up tonight and let them win by default".

RIP Probert.

from the Blackhawk faithful. Always be remembered for shutting up that little mosquito, Tie Domi.

RIP.. thats tragic

RIP Bob you will be missed. Your fights with Tie Dummy will always be classics

RIP
