Bob Probert

One of the best scrappers in the history of the NHL is rumoured to have died today after collapsing on a boat.

RIP to a real hockey player.

Just heard about it on the SportsCentre update, very sad. He was one of the best fighters of his generation.

R.I.P. Bobby

When you think of Old Time Hockey, you think of Bob Probert.

An ambassador to the game. He will be missed.

A true legend, who fought and played by a strict honour code. Old time hockey in its truest form.
He meant a lot to me growing up, and my thoughts are with his family at this time.
I'd like to send my condolences to the family and close friends of Bob as well.

June 5th, 1965-- July 5th, 2010

I couldn't stand the guy when he played my favorite team, which means he did his job VERY well. RIP

RIP Probbie!

RIP Proby!

Very sad day. I grew up watching Probert. He's a legend in his own right and will always be remembered.

This video shows a lot about what Probert was like in his style. Listen to him around 2:30 - 2:55. Win with dignity and respect.

RIP Probie/

Sad. I remember his many wars with one of my favorite tough guys Jody Shelley.

R.I.P.

Bob LOLbert. Such a good fighter.

Sad news, Probie was a true warrior who seemed like a genuinely good guy.

RIP Probie, you'll be missed

I just looked him up because I was bored and I knew he was a sick fighter (one of the best in the league for a looong time) but he had a 29 goal, 33 assist, 398 PIM season. That's nuts :laugh:

A true warrior. Will sorely be missed. RIP.

I know he had his demons but it is still very sad to hear of him passing so young.

He was a blend of talent, toughness and honour on the ice.

The best at the trade, way too many demons. God bless Bob.

RIP my favorite goon.

Been watching hockey for the last 30 years. Bob Probert is the best fighter I have ever witnessed live or otherwise

R.I.P... from what I saw on films he was a great fighter. He and Domi were classic fights.

RIP, and for you younger folks he was an allstar too.

Bob Probert is the definition of Hockey Bad Assery. Sad to hear he's gone.

Best there was, the best there ever will be.

RIP PROBIE

Best there was, the best there ever will be.

RIP PROBIE

RIP Proby!

Stay Classy.

really? are u sure for that??

yup.

I was born in 93, so I don't really have any memories of watching him play. However, I know who he is, and what legacy he's left behind. RIP to the toughest player to lace em up.

The best ever

R.I.P Good sir

I'm still in a bit of shock that he's gone.

It sucks. One of my favorite players of all time and the best at doing his job. But you know what's the worst? He leaves behind a wife and 4 young kids who have to grow up without their father. It's just really sad.

RIP Bob Probert. You are the Wayne Gretzky of hockey fighting and the ultimate teammate.

I just looked him up because I was bored and I knew he was a sick fighter (one of the best in the league for a looong time) but he had a 29 goal, 33 assist, 398 PIM season. That's nuts :laugh:


Probie played in the All Star Game in STL that year. A lot of people forget about the talent that he had to go along with the fact that he was the toughest Hockey fighter ever arguably.

RIP Probie Hockey fans will miss you Bro.

I have not watched him play.. but I love hockey fights and like to watch them on youtube and watched a few Probert fights..Can he ever throw punches. RIP Probert
