HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 Just doing the normal long off season days sitting at work thing. Pondering what LGW member's favorite Probie fight(s) was/were. Just for fun type stuff in honor of the greatest enforcer there ever was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 Craig Coxe vs. Bob Probert-November 19,1987 The "Probert Decks Nylund" fight The ones right off the top of my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 The "Probert Decks Nylund" fight I remember the first time I saw this one I even felt the upper cut he gets in on Nylund there toward the end. Just unbelievable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 Probert was unstoppable! I always like watching the clip where Probie gets a job in on Foreskin and Adam Foote came after him and Probie ended up pounding on him. Remember when Maguire fought Yzerman, and Probert was going nuts. The Sabres goalie was in his way, and he punched his helmet off and got a shot in on Maguire.Classic.

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 Absolutely. The Joe was going nuts. Probie went nuts. My dad talks about this too and I always remember him saying, "That is exactly how you protect Stevie. Probie wouldn't even let a random person come up and ask for an autograph". lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 Hell yeah it was. Add Kocur in there and ohhh boy Stevie never took abuse. That's how it should be. That's how it still is, except Detroit I'm really pulling for Downey. I'm sick of seeing Dats and Z get pushed around.Abdelkader is a start, but he'll never be anything more than an agitator.

Stevie had the advantage of having two willing combatants on his line for some years in the 80s in Gallant and Probert. The current roster doesn't really have anything to offer, and Downey certainly doesn't have the same combination of skill and toughness that they had.

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 The Yzerman-Maguire incident is my favorite, but it's not really a fight. It was so damn dirty (and I loved it for that), but it showed what a good teammate Probie was. My favorite actual fight of his is when he drops Semenko as revenge for Semenko jumping him a little while back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNLQOgEaoh4 And of course I love seeing him beat the piss out of Dave Brown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS5ay-0wf9g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 The destruction and embarrasment of Scott Parker stands out for me. Some others are: The 2 infamous fights with Domi The 2 fights with Coxe His fight with Cochrane The game where he was willing to take on the entire St. Louis blues team on the ice. Right before the infamous Cheveldae/Joseph fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kook_10 1,705 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 can anyone find a clip of the Domi rematch which shows Stevie Y motioning that Probie took the title belt back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
