Wow, only 45. Rough. I'll remember him as a Blackhawk though, not a Red Wing.

He only retired a few years ago. RIP, not many like him around any more.

I just saw that. He was one mean motor scooter. He beat up a lot of people.

I would have never expected this even considering all his off ice problems.

He had some pretty soft hands and a nice scoring touch for such a good enforcer. Those were the days Proby and Joey, the bruise brothers.

RIP

His fights with Domi were great. When he and Kocur were on the ice watch the f*ck out.

Quite the size mismatch. Though Probert Won, Domi shows just how much of a bad ass he is just by lasting as long as he did.

Every young wannabe enforcer coming up would single out Probie and throw down to prove his cred on the ice. I think he even said in an interview he was tired of it while still playing. I remember a game I saw in chicago where he scored, during halftime Chris Farley ran out on the ice and and pretended to fall down about a dozen times while the entire place laughed.

First time I saw Probie fight live he broke Currans jaw

You only get so many heartbeats and I guess he used his up with Hockey & Cocaine.

hmm i don't know much about the guy but i wonder if it's the fights that took a toll on him or drugs or just bad luck
