Bob Probert, the NHL legendary enforcer during his long career with the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks, passed away on Monday. He collapsed on a boat with his kids and in-laws, and he couldn’t be revived. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Below are only two of the many great fights that Probert was a part of in his playing days. You can see a lot more of Probert’s fights on YouTube.
Probert, who turned 45 last month, spent his 17-year career with the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks. He was known as one of the NHL’s most feared enforcers and fighters, and he wracked up 3,300 penalty minutes in 935 NHL games. He also had 384 points.
Probert ranks fifth on the NHL’s all-time list for most career penalty minutes behind Tiger Williams (3,966), Dale Hunter (3,565), Tie Domi (3,515) and Marty McSorley (3,381), though he played in fewer games than all of those fellow fighters/enforcers. Probert holds the Red Wings franchise records for career penalty minutes (2,090) and penalty minutes in a season (398).
