Hockey Goon HOF - Bob Probert videos

In my latest installment to my "Hockey Goon Hall of Fame" I present my ten favorite Bob Probert fights (wins)... well, make it 11.  Numerous classics that didn't make the cut include scraps with Todd Ewen, Bob McGill, Kevin Maguire, Stu Grimson and "Bruise Brother" teammate Joey Kocur.

11. Probert vs Dave Semenko (10/17/1987)
Probert avenges a beating he took from Semenko who jumped him earlier in the year.


10. Probert vs Craig Berube (10/25/91)
One of their many fights (some won by Berube), this might be the most fun to watch.


9. Probert vs Darin Kimble (3/10/91)
Probert puts a beating on one of the tougher players of his era.


8. Probert vs Scott Parker (1/12/99)
I liked Parker, but the arrogant kid takes on the old champ and does not fare well.


7. Probert vs Link Gaetz (11/14/91)
Slugfest between two of the toughest in the game.


6. Probert vs Troy Crowder (1/28/91)
Revenge for a loss earlier in the season that cost Probert the heavyweight champ title for a few months.


5. Probert vs Dave Brown (1/9/91)
Under-rated fight historically between arguably the two toughest in NHL history.


4. Probert vs Glen Cochrane (3/6/88)
Probert dispatches another of the toughest in the game during his epic 87-88 season.


3. Probert vs Craig Coxe (11/19/87)
You could argue that the 85-86 season fight between Probert and Coxe was maybe his best fight, yet I didn't even put it on my list... I've always been partial to this one, the marque fight on the first fight tape I ever owned.


2. Probert vs Tie Domi (12/2/92)
After Domi got the decision in their 91-92 fight, everyone knew the rematch was coming... sure enough, in Probert fashion, he destroyed his opponent in one of the most famous fights in NHL history.


1. Probert vs Marty McSorley (2/4/94)
Maybe the greatest hockey fight of all time.  Both guys landing major shots and not going down... an epic battle.
