Adrain Dater at Versus lists his Top 10 fighters,
1. Bob Probert – Throughout the compilation of this list, I must have watched a hundred fight videos of various guys, and many of them fought Bob Probert at some point. And by a clear margin, Probie won most of the fights. And the thing is, he won fights as a young guy, and fights as an old guy. He had a long run in the NHL (1986-2002), and took on all comers in that time.

How Do You Feel About Probie?

from Greg Wyshynski of PuckDaddy,
The difference in games played for Bob Probert between the Detroit Red Wings (474) and the Chicago Blackhawks (461) is negligible, but there’s no question he cemented his reputation as the most feared fighter in the NHL while wearing the Winged Wheel.
Which is why his public support of the Blackhawks in the Western Conference finals—dropping the ceremonial first puck, telling Jonathan Toews(notes) “good luck, kick their asses”—isn’t exactly endearing him to the Red Wings faithful:

“Who cares about the other guy? Let him hit his hand. Better he hurt his hand than hurt my head.”

How About A Probert Night In Chicago?

via Tim Sassone of Between the Circles,
Yes, the Hawks are going to honor Tony Amonte and Bob Probert with a “Heritage Night,” which pretty much consists of them dropping the puck like Larmer did.
I can see saluting Amonte, but Probert? Why? Ya, he was popular and all, but that’s about it. His best years were in Detroit and he’ll always be a Red Wing.
I’m all for a Dave Manson night. Nobody loved Charlie more than me, one of my favorite Hawks ever, and a great guy.
But how about Dirk Graham? He’s one of the greatest captains and leaders in Hawks history, playing on one leg on most nights later in his career.

In This Corner, Wearing The Red Hockey Pants…

from Jim Lang of Sportsnet,
I don’t know what it is, but every time I hear Probert on the radio or hear someone mention his name around the Sportsnet newsroom, my first reaction is to log onto YouTube. The video site is filled with some of Probert’s best fights. In my mind, he was one of the toughest and scariest men to ever play in the NHL.
Now, I am not advocating fighting in hockey, but how can you not get totally amped up while watching a Bob Probert tribute video?
This leads me to the question of the day: Was Bob Probert the toughest guy to play in the modern NHL?

Elliotte Freidman did a great piece on Bob Probert duing the HNIC pre-game last night.

Speaking of surly, former NHLer Bob Probert was outside the Caps dressing room after the game. He introduced himself to Ovechkin. The star walked away and asked somebody, “Grobert? Who’s Grobert?”
AO, I’d like you to meet Grobert....
