The gentle side of Probert

I was sad to hear we lost NHL 'tough guy' Bob Probert.
During his career, it seemed like he was fighting in every game, maybe every period. You know, just another goon.
But several years ago, at a Red Wings exhibition game in Miami (before the Panthers existed), I got to meet him.
I got to shake his hand and he told me, "Thanks for coming out."
What a really nice guy.
We'll miss you, Probie.

"Last year we came in as maybe an underdog, quietly. Got off to the right start just because teams weren't really ready for us. But this time around that's not the case. They realize we are a good team and they're ready to go against us, right off the get-go."
