Probert made sure to hold Nyland's jersey as he fell so that he wouldn't hit his head. Say what you want, but that was a class move, especially after Nyland got a bunch of shots in during the fight. RIP Probby.
Tough guys no doubt, the concept confuses me. Is this their "job", can they actually play? I played rugby /rugby league and you had to be able to play well first. Cheap shots, targeting good/young players were sorted in house. Fights were generally only good for losing a player for the rest of the match. Having a player that "just" fights seems like a wasted position/player weakening the teams chance of winning?
Notice how Probert never hit him when Nyland was down? Even though those two men were "tuff guys" they still showed each other lots of respect. Not like todays NHL.
BOOM! Man, you must have been nuts, to try and fight Bob Probert. Not even Ogie Oglethorp would have tried! When hockey was still the sport it was inteded to be.
Probert was an experienced fighter. He did this a lot. The first half of the fight he'd hold back and let the opponent wear himself out. Then, Probie would finish strong.
Love the commentary of Dave Strader and Mickey Redmond. Bob Probert, the undisputed heavyweight champion of hockey. Still loved in Detroit and always will be.
David Miles It's been two years since you posted this comment, so the following is me talking from the future. The NHL has become even less like it used to be, not only do they no longer fight but you rarely even see a decent body check. AND the Leafs have become a decent and respected team that are in first place.
Best fighter ever. Maybe not the best pest, and certainly not the best agitator, but that man could throw down with ANYONE and usually come out on top.
Reminds me of a game between these 2 in this building about a year later just before c'mas. About a million penalty mins., just fantastic stuff. There was even some great hockey played. Best part, the Chicago crowd was clearly chanting 'Detroit sucks!'. Mickey Redmond responds to the Det. TV audience 'The crowd is chanting 'These are the Hawks' recognizing the three game winning streak they have put together'. Mickey is a loveable homer. I guess when you score 50 for a crap team you can be one!
I like the quote, "This is where fighting can get dangerous and someone can get hurt." Considering that one of the combatants suffered a brain injury from repetitive head injuries, it's quite an accurate statement. Still, as long as hockey is played this will happen. Still a great sport.
Nyland actually did alright for most of the fight - probem is the fight went longer than most and Probert said in his book it was his stamina that allowed him to win so many fights.
big Al wanted nothin to do with macrae and hes lucky Probert didn`t get a hold of him either,and notice after the KO Bob left him on the ground and skated away,pure class too!!
This is a great example of what made Probert such a great fighter--he could take a punch, and he was great LATE in fights. When you fought him, you had better get your shots in early and you'd better hit to hurt. Most of the guys he fought weren't successful doing this.
no,the uppercut dropped chris.i watched it 3x joe d.it was the uppercut that crippled nilan.he dropped like a sack of potatoes joe.great shot,nilan never saw it,..the hawk's dr.sais that nilan collapsed after leaving the ice area from dizziness he was suffering from proberts crippling uppercut.
When hockey was hockey...I still love the sport,but the days of the enforcers,bench clearing brawls and toughness are gone...Very few Cam Neely's left...RIP...
Probert had incredible stamina. Nylund did well early in the fight, but Probert was the terminator. You think he's done but he's not. When he threw that final uppercut, Nylund was totally out of gas. Alright Probey! R.I.P. GO RED WINGS!!
Wow...I forgot that Roger Nielson was the coach of the Blackhawks.....only ever thought of him behind the bench of the Leafs and the Canucks, and the Rangers, I think near the end. He really did get around
oh give the guy a break, he's just jealous, Bob had a pretty good career playing the game he loved, made good money doing it, this guy probably washes dishes for a living.
Probert & Nylund and Secord & McRae are all fighting and the linesmen are concentrating on a fight between Ed Olczyk & Lee Norwood? Is that what they learn in linesman school to break up the fight between non-fighters and let the fighters go to do their business?
bahhhmeran I actually got arrested once for trying to attack a man in a Redwings jersey. We were both extremely drunk and fell into the park fountain. We got arrested but were both released as we were little more than drunken morons.
The Red Wing announcing team has always been the most unbiased crew and never are they ever, ever homers. Good holy LORD, it's embarrassing even listening to these fools.
Love the ref just whispering to him "Listen kid you gave it your best shot but its Bob fucking Probert"
Kid? Nylund was 2 years older than Probert. Nylund was no slouch.
rcoveyduc Did not know that haha he looks so much younger
Probert made sure to hold Nyland's jersey as he fell so that he wouldn't hit his head. Say what you want, but that was a class move, especially after Nyland got a bunch of shots in during the fight. RIP Probby.
Yeah, it was.
That was the trade mark of both bruise brothers. Unless you gave them a reason not to

Strong New It's part of their job, but not their only job. If they had no skills beyond being a tough guy, they wouldn't be playing in the NHL.
@@strongnew3744 Probert could play he scored 30 goals one year
ahhh the great old days. two or three great battles at once, with some organ music in the background for a little ambiance.
Probert was a badass and a good sport. he could have beat nyland to a pulp after that uppercut...
As a Hawks fan, I miss these days. Every game was a bloodbath
I was never a Probert fan, but gotta admit that if your team goon can get 300+ PIM a season and score 15+ goals a season - that's pretty impressive.
Until Probert came to Chicago and they cleaned him up. He was never the same and scared nobody.
Probert knocks nylund out and holds him from crashing to the ice.
I think it was the following year that Probert again went over 300 pim's and scored 28 goals and made the all star team.
uppercut madness by the king of NHL fighters the late great Bob Probert... R.I.P.
Probert and Kocur went Kronk Gym..Emanuel Stewart's told them to throw uppercuts...fact
Probert gets stronger as the fight goes on,u will learn this
Notice how Probert never hit him when Nyland was down? Even though those two men were "tuff guys" they still showed each other lots of respect. Not like todays NHL.
The longer a fight went, the stronger Probert got.
anthony iacobello You crazy Australian no one gets stronger as a fight goes on. He just got less weak than his opponents.
anthony iacobello hah your right
BOOM! Man, you must have been nuts, to try and fight Bob Probert. Not even Ogie Oglethorp would have tried! When hockey was still the sport it was inteded to be.
Good lord - I've never understood why Nylund would drop his head like that in any fight, much less a fight against Bob Probert.
I miss the good ol' days.
Go Wins, Go Yzerman, one of my heroes growing up.
You got that right!
I loved when Probert was with the Red Wings.
Probert was an experienced fighter. He did this a lot. The first half of the fight he'd hold back and let the opponent wear himself out. Then, Probie would finish strong.

Why can't hockey be like this anymore:(

Steve Jobs if you're still around hopefully you're not, after what happened in Pittsburgh maybe you should take this down. You worthless fucking Nazi
@@aberamagold7509 sad as fuk but true how boring
All Time Hockey At Its Best.
SJW snowflakes, up in Canada are the reason.
Best fighter ever. Maybe not the best pest, and certainly not the best agitator, but that man could throw down with ANYONE and usually come out on top.
memorable games with some interesting events. Thanks.
This is a picnic compared to Detroit- Colorado brawl of March 97
This would be 86-87. It was Probert's rookie year & Olczyk's last year in Chicago.
False. Proberts rookie year was 1985-86.
***** Yes, this was in 1986-87, but Proberts rookie year was 1985-86.
i doubt if there was a next time. only a chosen few rematch with the probe
Hope there was a rematch. Perhaps somebody out there has it on videotape.
R.I.P. Bob
I wish I could beat my coworkers when I'm pissed.
Who says you can't. Live a little.
and all you get is 5:00 somewhere
🤣🤣
Got to love Mickey Redmond!
Probert was a fucking beast. One of my favorite Red Wings and fighters in history.
Detroit is the end all be all in skill and whoop ass. There will never be a team that can raise their head as high.
was there ever a greater and stronger Fighter in the history of Hockey as Probert
Probert rocks Nylunds world. Great vid.
In today's game, probert or nylund wouldn't be out in the last minutes of the game with a goalie pulled
they werent out in those days either dunce
great clip....thanks for the up.
incredible upperut by probert, wow
This is why Bettmans decision to separate the Hawks and Wings is so wrong on many levels!
old-time hockey
The good old "Chuck" Norris division.
Reminds me of a game between these 2 in this building about a year later just before c'mas. About a million penalty mins., just fantastic stuff. There was even some great hockey played.

probie was the best.. started slow but look out!
+jeff jones Always threw his best shots after he took a couple himself.
oh for sure lol
Probie was what you call a’top end fighter’ he does his most devastating damage towards the end of the fight
back in the day when Mickey Redmond got excited about his job long before the European Icecapades invaded the Joe...
+Kasandra Mann When the europeans invaded is when the Wings won those 4 cups
Nyland actually did alright for most of the fight - probem is the fight went longer than most and Probert said in his book it was his stamina that allowed him to win so many fights.
big Al wanted nothin to do with macrae and hes lucky Probert didn`t get a hold of him either,and notice after the KO Bob left him on the ground and skated away,pure class too!!
@porterhouse i think it was classy of him not to pound Nylund when he was standing over him with a free arm....what do you call it?
This is a great example of what made Probert such a great fighter--he could take a punch, and he was great LATE in fights. When you fought him, you had better get your shots in early and you'd better hit to hurt. Most of the guys he fought weren't successful doing this.
Give Blood, Fight Probie!
probert was one tough sob. rip.
good thing probert didn't put much behind that uppercut or nilan would have been seriously hurt...still,he drpped nilan like a bad habit.
no,the uppercut dropped chris.i watched it 3x joe d.it was the uppercut that crippled nilan.he dropped like a sack of potatoes joe.great shot,nilan never saw it,..the hawk's dr.sais that nilan collapsed after leaving the ice area from dizziness he was suffering from proberts crippling uppercut.
Probert seemed to be smiling after taking a couple of shots to the head, you really don't want to get into a fight with a guy like that.
I cant believe Probert decked him either! I didn't see the damn thing cuz the cameraman didn't catch it!!
When hockey was hockey...I still love the sport,but the days of the enforcers,bench clearing brawls and toughness are gone...Very few Cam Neely's left...RIP...
love that old 80s Chicago Stadium goal horn!
Probert had incredible stamina. Nylund did well early in the fight, but Probert was the terminator. You think he's done but he's not. When he threw that final uppercut, Nylund was totally out of gas. Alright Probey! R.I.P. GO RED WINGS!!
Gary Bettman dislikes this 14 times!
Don Davis or Blackhawks fans
Don Davis yup. Gary ( Bobble Head) Bettman would hate this.
damn i wish i lived in the 80's. iron maiden days...
Was the fucking best, please believe! =)
The only goal Bob Murray ever scored...
who?
stairs into the locker rooms? wtf
Just ANOTHER thing wrong with that fuggin chicago team...
Wow...I forgot that Roger Nielson was the coach of the Blackhawks.....only ever thought of him behind the bench of the Leafs and the Canucks, and the Rangers, I think near the end. He really did get around
Probie clearly won that battle, but hey, I gotta say, respect to Nylund for lasting as long as he did in there.
@1:05, is that bubble's dad?!!!! WE FOUND HIM, BUBBLES!!!! Still drunk and running his mouth off, I see
Not much of a fighter
@@caleblewis173 lmao!! I seen him behind the glass!!
That was a pretty even fight until Probie got that uppercut in.
That's what you get for messin' with Probie...
That one ref should be in a head & shoulders or selsson blue commercial with that hair of his
Nice uppercut AYE????!!!
PROBIE!
ouch
true stuff though.
i think our 14-2-3 record has something else to say, djhussl.
GO WINGS!
that's why u never duck your head like that..
ug. this video just makes me look in the air and wonder why cant hockey be like this anymore.
oh give the guy a break, he's just jealous, Bob had a pretty good career playing the game he loved, made good money doing it, this guy probably washes dishes for a living.
Probert just looked relaxed for the first few minutes. Thats great strategy I think.
Sweet Dreams...
I'm so glad they upload this video
Probert & Nylund and Secord & McRae are all fighting and the linesmen are concentrating on a fight between Ed Olczyk & Lee Norwood? Is that what they learn in linesman school to break up the fight between non-fighters and let the fighters go to do their business?
This made me laugh. Good point made.
Gotta love old time hockey
I really REALLY miss the barn, and I am a Wing-nut.... dammit that we park on top of it now..
Was weird watching Stu Grimson fight Probert all the time, then Probert come over to the hawks, and was the enforcer.
bochafish Then Grimson played for the Wings
Right on the button
i miss this rivalry
WHOA SHIT!!!! is that bubbles behind the glass in the stands?!!!!! 1:05
good ol donnybrook!
is the organist playing "Wipeout"?
"Oh shit the other team scored! Maybe if we all throw tantrums, nobody will notice that our team is a bunch of losers!"
The team that scored then went after the team that lost. What's your point?
It's the Red Wings. We hate blackhawks and avalanches.
bahhhmeran I actually got arrested once for trying to attack a man in a Redwings jersey. We were both extremely drunk and fell into the park fountain. We got arrested but were both released as we were little more than drunken morons.
***** Thanks for the flashback. I'm sure everyone is very interested in what you did one time when you were drunk. Riveting
Ancients PvP It's better than a story about someone's kids and their soccer season as 6th graders.
@rjst09 why because they got to the second round? and made the playoffs 20 consecutive season, right........
Nylund needed to keep his chin down. Probey more expirienced schooled his ass
Eddie O fighting with Norwood in the box out of the box.Luv it
shitty camera man leaves the probert/nylund fight to watch eddie o fight...pathetic...
At about 1:18 after taking a couple of rights to the side of the Probert looks to be smiling. That's I bad dude.
Good ol' chicago stadium
i miss fighting in hockey,
tho the wings had a good one yesterday
i miss al secord and bob probert, c'rtait le bon temps
The Red Wing announcing team has always been the most unbiased crew and never are they ever, ever homers. Good holy LORD, it's embarrassing even listening to these fools.
@lxexpress I have a hockey stick signed by Probert.
me too!
That horn sure had a punch to her
1puglife @1:58 the TV dick says "Probert dicks Nylund!" LMAO!!!!
+0TruckMafk ☢TM™" He said "decked".
Bob Papadopoulos
You gotta watch 1puglife to get the joke
Facing Probert the book - TBP in 2017
Old time hockey!
Go Red Wings.Bring the warrior passion!
I can't believe Probie let him hug up on him for that long before he decided to get rid of him.
Bob Probert the Best!как это по пнглийски ..... Необыкновенный
@reg5381 The link or date and what game?
