That really sucks. Probie was one of my favorites. He truly was a tough guy.

Never got to see him live, but all the video I have seen and such point to an amazing enforcer, hard to knock down, and a good teammate.



Even with his demons, he seemed a good player.

49 goals in 461 games played for the organ-i-zation...........hardly the type of numbers for one to get a heritage night.



With that said, sad day for the Probert family, wish them the best.

In 1988 I was 1. Doesn't mean he wasn't one of my favorite players in the mid-late 90's. My first real season comprehending/caring about the NHL was 1995... The same year Probert became a Blackhawk.

 

[Guest]

I was just wondering.



I always liked Probert and could care less if he should or shouldn't have had a "heritage night". BFD.
