NHL '94 "Game of the Night" Blackhawks @ Redwings "The Bob Probert Story" #24 LW CHK line
Robert Alan Probert (June 5, 1965 – July 5, 2010) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward. Probert played for the National Hockey League's Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks. While a successful player by some measures, including being voted to the 1987–88 Campbell Conference all-star team, Probert was best known for his activities as a fighter and enforcer, as well as being one half of the "Bruise Brothers" with then-Red Wing teammate Joey Kocur, during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Probert was also known for his off-ice antics and legal problems. Playing career Prior to playing with the Detroit Red Wings, Probert was with the Brantford Alexanders of the Ontario Hockey League. After being drafted, he spent one more season with the Alexanders before spending his 1984–85 season with both the Hamilton Steelhawks and the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHL. Detroit Red Wings (1985–1994) Probert was drafted as the fourth pick in the third round (46th overall) in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, in which the Red Wings also selected Kocur and Steve Yzerman. During the 1985–1986 and 1986–1987 seasons, Probert spent the majority of his time with the Red Wings while occasionally playing for their minor league affiliate Adirondack Red Wings of the American Hockey League. In the 1985–1986 season, he finished third on the team in penalty minutes behind Kocur and Randy Ladouceur, both of whom played more regular season games than Probert. In the 1986–1987 season, Probert accumulated only 24 points, but amassed 221 penalty minutes. The 1987–1988 season was the pinnacle of Probert's career. He cemented his reputation as an enforcer with a league-leading 398 penalty minutes, the sixth-highest single-season total in NHL history. He also tied for third on the team with 62 points, and played in his only NHL All-Star Game. In addition he contributed the most points during the Red Wings' playoff run, in which Yzerman missed all but the final three games with a knee injury. Chicago Blackhawks (1995–2002) Probert signed with the Chicago Blackhawks on July 23, 1994, but was placed on inactive status by commissioner Gary Bettman in September 1994 while Probert entered rehab following his July 15 crash and subsequent drunk-driving charge. As a result, Probert sat out the lockout-shortened 1994–95 season before joining the Blackhawks. Probert's first season with the Blackhawks was the last in which he accumulated over 40 points in a season. From then on, his points and penalty minutes gradually decreased. While he never returned to the levels of point production he achieved with the Red Wings, he remained a physical force on the ice and continued many long-term rivalries with other enforcers. Fighting Probert often saw it as his job to protect his teammates, especially Detroit captain Steve Yzerman. In a 2007 news story, he recalled a time that he sucker-punched enforcer Kevin Maguire of the Buffalo Sabres (December 23, 1987) after Maguire attacked Yzerman. Maguire then unsuccessfully attempted to avoid Probert. A long-standing rivalry with the Toronto Maple Leafs' Wendel Clark. Two long fights with Craig Coxe of the Vancouver Canucks in the mid-1980s. A career-spanning series of battles with Tie Domi of the New York Rangers, Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs. One of Probert's memorable confrontations was also the genesis of Domi's now-infamous belt gesture, where he gestured to the Madison Square Garden crowd as if he had a championship title belt around his waist, with Domi remarking it to reporters, "He's been heavyweight champ for a long time. I still respect him. I'd been wanting him for three years. I just hope he remembered what got him where he is." A career-spanning series of fights with longtime enforcer Stu Grimson, including a fight in December 1993 when the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim made their first visit ever to Detroit. A memorable fight on December 17, 1993, with former teammate Joey Kocur of the Rangers, during a brawl involving several players from both teams. Probert and Kocur had grabbed the nearest opposing player without realizing who it was, and continued trading punches even after they identified each other. Later on in Probert's career, he would face Kocur a few more times when he was with the Chicago Blackhawks. A fight on February 4, 1994, against Marty McSorley, then of the Pittsburgh Penguins, lasting nearly 100 seconds. Several bouts against Montreal and Vancouver enforcer Donald Brashear. In a game against the Colorado Avalanche on January 12, 1999, Scott Parker, an aspiring enforcer, skated up to Probert and bared his fists; challenging him to a fight. Parker was at this time heavier, taller and more than ten years younger than Probert. After circling around each other for several seconds the two grabbed each other's jerseys. However the fight was called off after just 11 seconds when Parker was nearly knocked unconscious from four right hands from Probert without throwing one of his own.
THIS Has NEVER Happened In The Playoffs...
Join me on RateGame: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6477869711?pt=126905374&ct=Heat%20Check%201&mt=8 We have witnessed history in these 2 iconic game 7 battles. The largest comeback in a game 7, and the absolute best shooting performance ever in the playoffs. Last night was one for the ages. But let’s start from the beginning, as Denver started this game exactly how they wanted. Nikola Jokic dominated the glass, reaching a double double of 13 points and 15 rebounds by halftime, 5 of which were on the offensive end. This led to a 12 to 2 second chance points discrepancy. And it felt like it’s going to be another one of those nights, where he was toying with the defensive player of the year. Jamal Murray unlike the previous games in this series was cooking right from the start, getting to his spots, and playing with ease on his way to 24 1st half points on 53.3% shooting from the field and 60% from 3PT range. The Nuggets pulled all the right strings and had control over the game, as they headed into the locker rooms up by 15 at the half. On the other side, KAT and McDaniels were the only ones ready to put up a fight, scoring 13 and 10 points respectively on decent shooting efficiency. KAT took advantage of the mismatch every time he saw one, patiently working the smaller defenders for some quality shots. But their main weapon, Anthony Edwards was a shadow of his game 6 performance, as he couldn’t hit anything in this game, contested or wide open. ANT shot 1 of 7 for only 4 points in the first half. And Minnesota struggled as a team overall, as they shot just 31.6% from the field. Things looked a bit worse for the Timberwolves early in the 3rd when… Down by 20 on the road, with all the momentum on Denver’s side, the Timberwolves had all the odds stacked against them, but nobody could imagine that what started to unfold was history in the making. Minnesota went on a 28-9 run to close out the 3rd quarter which was totally opposite of the previous one, as this whole game was a microcosm of the entire series. The Nuggets were unrecognizable in this one, as they shot a miserable 26.3% from the field, it’s like they fell asleep after going up by 20. And after this 3 by Edwards, it was on. They knew they had them against the ropes. And the entire arena was in disbelief when the Timberwolves took over the lead in the 4th. In an unexpected turn of events, it was the role players of Naz Reid, Rudy Gobert and Jaden Mcdaniels that carried the offensive load during these crucial times. Rudy stuns everyone with this wild turnaround and with this going in, Minnesota believes that maybe this is their day, and they can complete the upset. But most importantly, their hounding defense stepped when it mattered the most, absolutely putting a lid on the basket. Wow, Naz Reid delivers big time on both ends of the court. And after another turnover by Jamal, Edwards hits the dagger to put the Wolves up by 10 with 3 minutes to go, and everyone started to realize that it was over. Jokic and Murray had one last push to try and get back, making it a 5 point game, but then… It’s all over, the champs have fallen and Minnesota completes the biggest game 7 comeback in NBA history. History repeats itself as this came on the same exact day 20 years after KG and company advanced to the western conference finals in a game 7 showdown against the Kings.

Moving on to New York, as I was hoping that the Garden crowd would lift my Knicks to a hot start in game 7. But I was staggered when the exact opposite started to happen, as Indiana opened the game on an unbelievable 76% shooting from the field. It seemed like everything they threw at the basket went in, and despite the fact that the Knicks themselves were solid in this 1st quarter, it seemed like the Pacers unlocked god mode. And it didn’t help that OG Anunoby did a Willis Reed move. For the ones that don’t know, this means that OG got back from injury to start this game, only to get the crowd fired up, as he knew he couldn’t go, and quickly sat down. Hart is playing injured as well, on top of all the other injuries that the Knicks had. So, as crazy as it sounds, I was thankful that New York was only down by 8 at the end, and thought to myself, Indiana can’t keep up this pace. Right?! In a mind blowing shooting display, the Pacers went 76 and a half percent in the second quarter. In 20 years of watching the NBA, I hadn’t seen anything similar to this. Tyrese Haliburton chucking up wild threes, Pascal Siakam was automatic from midrange, and then Indiana could also get to the rim and finish inside, it was an all around spectacle. Just not for me and the MSG crowd.
