BOB PROBERT WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A LEGEND


June 5, 1965-July 5, 2010


Bob Probert was one of the toughest hockey players to ever put on a pair of skates. He was so fun to watch, and was loved by his fans. I can remember growing up and taping every fight he was in. He was my favorite hockey player of all time, and I will remember forever. In 16 seasons in the NHL he scored 163 goals, 384 points, and most importantly he had 3,300 penalty minutes. He fought and beat almost every enforcer in the league when he played. He was 45 when he died while boating on Lake St. Clair. He was survived by his wife and 4 kids.

RIP Probert, his passing reminds us all of why nobody watches hockey anymore, I would rather watch a 1-0 game with a fight then a 5-6 game with none, Betteman sucks Sid the Kids nutts, no one in the game today could handle Probert, I like old time hockey, Dick Clapper and Toe Blake type of shit.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Don't forget Reggie Dunlop, or Oglethorpe.
