chrisjamessauve Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Wow. Quite possibly one of the best enforcers in NHL history. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstStar Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 One of my favorite all time enforcers along with Dave "Hammer" Shultz. Rest in peace bob... You sure gave the hockey world a lot of entertainment. One has to wonder if his past substance abuse may have had a hand in his death. The guy was 45 years old, sure had a lot of life left in him. From all accounts, he kicked the bad habits many years ago (back when he was with the wings), but I guess it eventually catches up. One of the toughest guys ever to play in the NHL. In honor of Bob here are some highlights. Probert's top 5 fights Bob Probert Blackhawks Highlights God Bless you Bob you were a warrior on the ice. Thanx for the links... Probert's picture should be in the dictionary, next to the word tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Bah Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 A sad day for hockey and it's fans my condolences to his family we'll miss your sense of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubby31 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 we'll miss your sense of humour. I caught him with Claude Lemieux on OTR few months ago....talking & joking about their time in the league. Probert wanted to smack him across the head.....just because.

squ1g33 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Shocking news. always sad news when someone dies so young. I believe he was 45... As is with my curious nature however, I will predict the autopsy will reveal a failed heart, probably weakened from the years and years of heavy drug use. He may be clean now, but that had to have caught up to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest habs1952 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Wow. Quite possibly one of the best enforcers in NHL history. RIP. And he could play the game too. Not overly talented but he was more than just an enforcer. RIP Bob. I caught him with Claude Lemieux on OTR few months ago....talking & joking about their time in the league. Probert wanted to smack him across the head.....just because. That was one of the best episodes of OTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathradio Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 The only enforcer that I know of that could have come close to Probert was Domi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flunky Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 If there is a heaven, Bob's squaring off with John Kordic as we speak. Deepest sympathies to the Probert and Parkinson families. RIP big guy. -A fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squ1g33 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Funny... I was thinking the same thing. Look at my previous post. sry, didn't see that post.. Yeah, I think the autopsy will reveal what we suspect. The situation of a top athlete (though retired) simply "collapsing" and showing no vital signs wreaks of ambiguity. What has no-doubt yet speculatively happened is his heart just stopped - correct me if I'm wrong but did he not have a serious cocaine addiction? And one would have to assume that a cocaine addiction no doubt lead to heroine use at some point as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
