I don't think ppl realize how much pro athletes sacrifice.They think, Yea they get paid millions of dollars to play a sport. Thats the games, Practices, Traveling and all that. And in the long run it takes a toll on your body. GO WINGS!!!
Stevie, in my mind, is one of the greatest competitors ever- in any sport. He is also a great guy and I wish him and his family the very best of everything.
i like that probie was helping konstantinov when they walked out. a tragic faith for a true warrior and who has forgotten the hit that made cry baby claude flying? greetings from sweden
Neither Vladdie nor Probie should have their jersey retired.
Not that they weren't fucking awesome while wearing the Winged Wheel. But to have your jersey retired in Detroit is raified air. Only some of the greatest players of all time get their number to the rafters here.
@redwingsmike3718 Probert is with out questionn the greatest enforcer of all time. Think it is time they honor that. Instead of retiring they should honor them, but honestly those two numbers should be reitred. they do not look right on anyone in those uniforms but them.
all that put aside, being there and now looking back at it, I was surprised Viachaslav Fetisov wasn't there alongside Larionov and Konstantinov. They all played together in the soviet Union and were all a part of the Russian Five unit.
I may be a very unemotional Isles fan, but seeing a true hockey guy like Vlad walking on the ice for the first time in years can bring a man to tears.
i hear that 1...i still remember hearing the news right after waiting so long for detroit to get the cup and when they finally did such a shitty thing had to happen
well I think 24 is gonna be retired next not only for Chelios, but for Probert as well. Or if they ever get around to it they'll finally hang #16 for Konstantinov as they should.
PROBIE!!!!!!! he looks like he could start kickin ass at any minute!!! Great to see him in the red and white. kocur too! never been enforcers on one team like them since..period!
Probie leaving Duchesne hanging hahaha i died
