Mr. belak Thank-You again for assisting our Mother in the elevator at #1 King last year...you escorted her to the concierge,waited for EMS to arrive and were a wonderful angel...We are shocked and upset to hear of your passing.
God Bless you and your 2 children and your widow.
Ie do not know what else to say.
Love and light, We pray for you this day...Gemma and Mother Vera
TORONTO IS STUPID!! DOMI and BELAK both gone. Tor is now a soft team. STUPID to trade this guy. He can play the number 5 or 6 D post and play up front.
I dunno, nobody pays much attention to the Maple Laughs. Out West her, we have ot ehr things to do, like play Golf in February, or drive for 2 hours and skii, go for a stroll along the beach, or watch a real hockey team... or anything but HNIC steady diet of mediocrity
Well, I wouldn't know about HNIC. I only get to see Toronto on Comcast Philly when the Flyers play them away. I have also seen them in person at home because I'm a Flyers season ticket holder. Its very nice to watch a real hockey team. What team are you a fan of?
Gotcha. I'm assuming HNIC is a Toronto station that gets a national viewing schedule. Sort of like Chicago's WB in the States. I can't stand flipping through the channels and seeing the Chicago Cubs disgracing my television with their presence. They haven't won a World Series since 1908. They suck even more than the Leafs.
That blows. I'm so happy we have a ball team, and a pretty damn good one at that. They have the squad to go back to the World Series for the 3rd straight time. Nah, the Cubs haven't won since 1908. The Chicago White Sox won like 3 years ago, but they aren't really the most popular team in Chicago. The Cubs are huge there, but they always suck.
The linesmen kind of fucked up in this one! I know they need to get in there when the players go down, but they held Probert back too much. Also, Probert still had some gas in the tank and he could have kept going for a little while longer.
1:08 'Probert looks like he just took a beating'...Which fuckin game were these dicks watching? Probert wasnt the one checking to see how many teeth he had left put it that way...
no your totally right, he was the one with his equipment half up his ass and the rest scattered around his body, not to mention I'm not sure if he knows where the fuck he is.... Belak is fully geared and good to go, even after fighting for the 2nd time ;) XD
Probert in his prime was very tough but nobody tougher than joey kocur i have never seen him lose a fight i have seen probert lose plenty i have seen laraque and brashear but never HANDS OF STONE Joey
lol kocur has probably been in over 200 nhl fights and you can think of only 2 times he lost?
i think thats a pretty good record
not to mention kocur didnt have very good balance on his skates, so if you actually watch those fights its him swinging wildly and falling down then the other guy falling on him throwing punches after he's already down.
He lost some toe to toe battles, a lot more than two. Hell, even Jim Kyte beat him pretty good in their first fight before Kocur knocked him out in the second one. The facts are Joey KO is top 5 all time and their is no way anyone can dispute that unless they have never sat down and watched the majority of his fights.
I've seen a great deal of his fights, and he wins a lot of them fair and square. It's no doubt that every NHL enforcer threw sucker punches at one time or another, but Kyte was really good.
Everyone is a sucker puncher at one time or another. Dave Brown, Tie Domi, Bob Probert, Terry Oreilly, and a shit load of others. They have all done it, and they have all done it twice I'm sure. Hockey fighting has no sanctioned rules, and this code of ethics that fighters talk about now is a fairly recent thing. At least, the code has obviously changed if one even existed before the instigator was born.
Very true about the instigator man. I've been praying every day for a bolt of lightning strike to Gary Bettman. In my dream his replacement bannishes the instigator rule from the NHL permanently. Not gonna happen most likely, but I'll keep praying anyway.
Hate to break it to yah, but he lost at least 40% of his fights. That's actually an incredibly low losing percentage for a top NHL enforcer, but he definitely lost his fair share of fights.
It had to be homer announcers. Probert has fought twice many nights and the announcers never make excuses like when Probie knocks Belak on his ass at the start of the fight....This is Belaks second fight of the night he has to be tired. Probert is the man.
Probert knocks Belak on his ass early in the fight an Belak wants to hug and hold. People forget Probert skates a lot lines. He just doesn't sit on the bench and come in on the last 20 seconds of the game to start a fight.
towards the end of probies career he was not the fighter he was in his prime. but if pissed off or motivated he awas still deadly. beat a young laraque when gl was undefeated. watcch the video of both fights. probie was the best of all time
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Watch the first ten seconds of this fight and tell me the linesmen did not save Belak. It looks to me like Probie decked him to the ice, and I have watched it many times. For sure it would've gotten very ugly if Belak had not been given the chance to shake the cobwebs out and get back into the fight. It would have been a 10-12 second one-sided victory for the big guy.
Probert got him toward the end but was still a draw. Probert at this stage of his career was an average fighter, in his Detroit days would have mopped the ice with young Belak.
@mrkrl Don't forget Belak wasn't in his prime here either, and in fights like this where both guys are about the same size and build, it's anyone's game.
True...I do like Belak though, infact I became a big fan of his when he decked that little piece of s--- Janssen of the Blues with a shot to the jaw a few seasons ago!!!

@HeavyD2544
You got it right. CBC broadcasts an NHL hockey game every Sat night at 5 p.m. PST. In every game, one of the teams is Toronto.
Be happy y7ou have a ball team. Summer evenings and popcorn is what that is all about. We just have triple A here in Vancouver.
Didn't the Cubs win the W Series just 2-3 years ago??

Dave Brown was one dirty s.o.b. domi delivered an overdue letter to Ulfie, and O'Reilly and Probert, tough, not dirty.
Instigator rule made the ref's job a gazillion times harder, b/c the players cannot police themselves like before.
