I used to have a "Give Blood, Fight Probert" tshirt.

I remember when he was arrested on the Ambassador Bridge. Some of the policies changed in regards to border security after that night. That was WAY before 9-11-01.

He was trouble with a capital T. You didn't mess with ANYONE because if you did, you better know where old 24 was at all times on the ice.

He was the embodiment of the term "Enforcer". Was he the best at it? No. The best that I've ever seen was number 16. Vlad the Impaler.

Is it any wonder that I'm a Red Wings fan? Look at the players that team has had on her club. The cream of the crop.

^ the bruise brothers!

45 is way too young to checkout.

^i ABSOLUTLEY agree. i am in shock.

Probert was the best in the age when the guys actually threw punches in the NHL, not wrestled each other to the ground (like most fights nowadays).

He had a big coke problem back in his day though. That might have had something to do with it.

Bob Probert vs. Marty McSorley...one of the all-time classics...

And the rematch...

Correction...this is round 2...
