Holy cow that last punch by Probert! So many of his fights were like that. "Oh hey this guy is holding his own against Probert .. oh... wait... oh dear."
I didn't really start to seriously get into hockey until I was about 9 or 10 so I dont remember much before 1994 but it was indeed a great time to love hockey as a kid in Michigan! I remember very distinctly being disappointed about losing in the Cup Final to New Jersey but also not being old enough to quite exactly understand it all yet haha.
@@oldjarhead386 Gretzky, Lemieux, Jagr, Yzerman, Sakic, Forsberg, Hull, Modano, etc seemed to do just fine during the "clutch and grab" era. McDavid and Matthews are amazing talents, but how much of that is because nobody is allowed to touch them? How good would they be if they had to fight for every inch of ice? Hockey was better in the 90's.
Probert was the coolest guy ever in the league. I saw him play in Toronto and when the team came out and he stepped onto the ice, he was a huge presence. He had the cool factor. The Wings were skating around before the game and most eyes weren't on Yzerman or anyone else. Most people were watching Probert.
Agree 100%... I'm a Blackhawk fan but when Bob Probert was on the ice I was watching him whether he was playing for the Wings or the Blackhawks....! He had that attraction, that magnetism...! Loved #24
I’d never seen this clip, until now. Man this game had it all. First, Belfour gets peppered early, and yanked for Cloutier. McGill & Probert go, and ends with the 2nd knockdown. McKay comes back against Grimson, and bloodies his nose. Kocur scores on the penalty shot! Grimson & Kocur have a decent scrap, and ends in a draw. McGill smashes Chiasson with the dirty face-to-the-dasher smash. Chelios dumps Probert on his ass, with a good check. Then two power play goals to close it out. Both teams had so many beloved players, several not even featured, since it’s a “rough stuff” video montage.
@@jamesfranke4521 Then maybe you should have been more specific in your comment. One thing that can't be argued is no one in today's game would beat Probert.
Minor nitpick, Mickey Redmond is and always has been a color commentator rather than a play-by-play man. They are separate roles. That doesn't take anything away from Mickey's greatness and longevity in his role, but we should be sure to call what he does by its correct name. In this video, Mickey Redmond is paired with Dave Strader, who worked several years in Detroit. The other play-by-play guy who has been paired with Mickey for many years is Ken Daniels.
The old Norris division was like the fight club, every team had 2-3 great fighters Probert, Kocur, Darren Kimble, Wendel Clark, Basil McRae, Shane Charla, Dave Manson
@@jameslara4171 Nope! Here are the relevant NHL rules regarding the infraction: "Throwing Equipment - If a member of the defending team throws or shoots any object within his defensive zone, including a stick, at the puck or puck carrier (Rule 53.7) Interference - If a member of the defending team throws or shoots any object at a player on a breakaway in the neutral or attacking zone (Rule 56.6)" And Kocur made it count!
Yep, when hockey was so much fun to watch...! Man I loved this era.... Both teams with tough guys that battled.... Probie my all time favorite, even though I was a Hawk fan, Bob was the best EVER in that role... I can't explain the anticipation when a big game was coming up between the Blackhawks and Wings or with the North Stars, it was unreal.....! How about the rematch of Probie and Domi at the Garden in NY...? Everybody was talking about that... Loved it and now, not so much...!
I miss these games the fighting the Hard checking the great play is back in the day. I miss the games. Are you now it’s like watching two kids play Pair to this Rest in peace, Bob Robert we miss you all a good time to play for the Red Wings, and in the Blackhawks with Thank you so much
This hockey was way more entertaining than today's tennis matches but I sure wouldn't want to play it... but then these days I can't tap my fingers on the table without falling on my ass. I think the present game is discriminating against bigger slower players. Bring the neutral zone back.
RIP .... Steve Chaisson 1999-drunk driving accident Bryan Murray 2017 -colon cancer Shawn Burr 2013 - massive brain trauma from a fall at his home… Was battling leukemia also. Bob Probert 2010- heart attack
That thing was a beast. I think it had five manuals (keyboards) and the pedalboard, for a total of six divisions (groupings of pipes). Most church organs, by comparison, usually only have a great division, a swell division, and the pedal division, three in total; large/old church organs might add a choir or positiv (poz-ih-TEEV, as the word comes from French) division and have four divisions. That beast in "the Madhouse on Madison" had at least six.
This was one of only eight road games that the Red Wings won, that season. What's even crazier is that they still managed to make the playoffs despite that.
When hockey was hockey. Current NHL ended the Gordie Howe forward in favor of European speed skaters. The game will never be the same. Sad that games like this will never happen again and the Gordie Howe forward and Howe hat trick are over.
So crazy that they pulled Belfort. He was so good. But man those wings were so good through the 90s weren't they ?!. Probert was so tough but could put the puck in the net too
Good lord, I looked up the old box score for this game and there were 19 penalties, including 6 for fighting, 1 for roughing and a misconduct, lol. Bob McGill for Chicago had 22 penalty minutes followed by Grimson with 12 and Kocur with 11.
Classic Norris hockey with this brutal rivalry. The game is so much faster today & the skill is ridiculous, but this is when hockey was more of a battle than playing a game. Oh I miss the old time hockey, organ playing during the fights, seeing no net against the backboards was just as weird as seeing when they put them up for the first time.
I never realized the organ during the fights until you mentioned it! You are right they did used to play the organ during fights. I miss that organ! Not sure if they still play the organ now but if they do I feel like it’s not as often as they used to
Love in the Probert McGill fight where McGill is going down after several hard Probert shots and Probert literally lifts him back onto his skates one handed to pound on him some more
This must be the game that prompted the league to shut down all arena organists from playing while the action was live. How the F is a guy, for example, supposed to try a penalty shot while the organist is jacking along?
The old Chicago Stadium was a great hockey venue. RIP Probie.
...and Burr, and Chiasson, and McCrimmon
@@raymondlavasseur And Rw/ announcer Dave Strader...
Absolutely I used to sit in the box above the exits my old man would give the Chicago PD 20 bucks and park his car right on the sidewalk
I could watch this era of hockey 24/7!
Excellent. My dad’s company made the Red Wings jerseys. Great game and thank you for this.
Holy cow that last punch by Probert! So many of his fights were like that. "Oh hey this guy is holding his own against Probert .. oh... wait... oh dear."
What a great era, I was so lucky to be able to watch the wings every game
Crazy when I think of my childhood watching the wings comes to mind first lol. Loved yzerman. But Federov was the man.
I got the Colorado Games WTH both big fights and I love Yzerman THE BEST CAPTAIN

One of my best memories is drinking out of the Stanley cup in 08
Great era!
I miss 80's/90's hockey. Every game was a war. The skill is clearly better today but the game was better back then. Nothing like it.
More hits and fights.
ill take the fights and scrums over toe drags any day( wayy more exciting)!! glad i got to watch first hand the wings and avs playoff wars!!
@@richjohnson-im1qr I'm a lifelong Blues fan, but yeah, the Wings/Avs rivaly was peak hockey. It hasn't been the same since.
There walls more clutching and grabbing to go with the bigger hit. This frees up players and ice. I think the players look better because of it.

Joey with a penalty shot. GOLD.
Pulled the the exact same move for a goal against Ron Hextall in Game 1 of the '97 Cup Finals.

Iconic teams.
Iconic division.
Iconic warriors.
Iconic arena.
THIS is hockey!
It wasn't as skilled but it sure was exciting
@@jamesfranke4521Wasn't as skilled?
@insertnamehere313 Yes, today's players are much more athletic
@@jamesfranke4521 Then maybe you should have been more specific in your comment.
One thing that can't be argued is no one in today's game would beat Probert.
@@insertnamehere313 The players back then were certainly tougher that's for sure
Mickey Redmond is still one of our color guys to this day! So glad to hear his voice on this one!
He's a Detroit legend forever thru and through

Man I miss micky doing the commentary
@@user-ku4vq6fd4q he is still doing it, when was the last time you watched a game on tv
Now that’s real hockey 80s and 90s. Loved every minute of it.
These were such great games between these two teams. Probert is my all time favorite hockey player.
The old Norris division was like the fight club, every team had 2-3 great fighters
Probert, Kocur, Darren Kimble, Wendel Clark, Basil McRae, Shane Charla, Dave Manson
Love the organ going for every fight.
Random video of Joey Kocur scoring on a penalty shot and then kicking Grimsons ass shows up in my feed? Sometimes the algorithm is right
Same! Rofl
Instant sub
Too bad Kocur turtled to get that penalty shot opportunity.
@@jameslara4171 Nope!

And Kocur made it count!
I was able to start watching at eleven in 2001 and they have delivered many great moments for us fans. Thanks boys
I loved watching Belfour getting pulled!!😂😂
Holy shit this is real hockey

The old Chicago Stadium was the greatest venue for hockey ever. The huge Pipe Organ and Harvey Wittenberg as PA announcer.
Thanks for uploading this, brings back some great memories, Subbed up!
The organist going crazy while the fight is going on kills me LOL
Fedorov was such a stud he was unreal….

Simply awesome clip vin. Truely miss this gen of hockey. Great plays , tossing hands penalty shot . A younb randg mckay here pre nj days. Thnx again!😊
the best division in hockey history. The Hawks could do NOTHING against Probie. RIP Champ! The GOAT.

Listen to the organ. Nothing like Chicago Stadium.

i Hope Mickey does another 34 years of Wings games. Absolute treasure
Really great to hear Dave Strader’s voice, Mickey too. This was a classic Bruise Brother game Probie and Kocur mixing it up.
Much to the chagrin of his critics, Probies jersey stayed on.
Result: KO Probert
So much success for the Wings in this game, one of their best all time
Bob Probert leads team with 3 game winning goals.....Now EAT THIS PUNCH. That era Division rivalry was just Special, andDangerous

Grimson had a rough night
Grimson ALWAYS had a rough night.
Probert threw precision bombs. Tough scraps for all opponents when he could hit so hard and so accurate while moving around.
this video is beautiful.
So crazy that they pulled Belfort. He was so good. But man those wings were so good through the 90s weren't they ?!. Probert was so tough but could put the puck in the net too

Warriors on Ice back then
All this great (fighting) hockey my mom made me miss over this thing called Bedtime!! 5nights a week
Fedorov almost sent Smith head-first into the boards with that little shoulder-shake on the first goal
EDIT: Steve Konroyd, not Smith
fastest onsetting of a black eye iv ever seen. usually takes a day or two.
Haven't seen to many street fights have you
"And there's blood everywhere." Mickey Redmond
I miss these days.
Man belfour got the yank.
Very rear Probert celebration..
back when hockey was exciting!
I remember this Game
Kocur had 15 seconds of pure hockey skill in his career. He spent it all in this game.
Not true, he used some in the 97 Cup Finals, too!
Kocur’s right hand was a jackhammer
Classic Norris hockey with this brutal rivalry. The game is so much faster today & the skill is ridiculous, but this is when hockey was more of a battle than playing a game.

@@albertaoridge I'm trying to remember the last time I heard an organ at a game, maybe in Hershey late 80's or 90's.
i miss the look of the small Indian head logo on center ice. good times.
I had no idea Probert had ADD
A fellow spaz… and it makes perfect sense now…lol
Belfour said sobber up boys... I'll be at the palace
OLD TIME HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kocur and Probert trained at Tommy Hearns Kronk gym, with Emmanuel Stewart.
Grim reaper got his ass kicked twice lmao
Kocurs penalty shot move was very similar to the move
he put on Hextall in Game 1 of the 97 Cup Finals
He will always be Joey "F-ing" Kocur to this Flyers fan that lived in Michigan in June 1997.
Funny thing is, virtually every Blackhawk they fought with became a Red Wing at some point.
Propert picked him up after he knocked him down lol
old time hockey ?? piss on old time hockey !! eddie shore ?? piss on eddie shore !! miss the hansons...
When hockey was hockey✌✌✌
Kocur was a legit heavyweight but he had no interest in trading punches with Grimson
Black and blue brothers
You just don't see hockey games like that anymore.
That's a good thing.
Probert = Sgt. Barnes
Grateful for Bob Probert 🙏 Windsor just down the road from London Ontario ...got to see Bob in Vancouver 1 time 🕜 😊🏒🥅
Фёдоров уже в 90м?
Love in the Probert McGill fight where McGill is going down after several hard Probert shots and Probert literally lifts him back onto his skates one handed to pound on him some more
Did the announcer say holy shit at the very end?
Hockey s da best😊
Probert having ADHD makes a ton of sense
Kocur threw haymakers like Tyson.
Probert fought to win kocur fought to knock your head off
This must be the game that prompted the league to shut down all arena organists from playing while the action was live. How the F is a guy, for example, supposed to try a penalty shot while the organist is jacking along?
What Lemieux was that?
Jocelyn
Bob Probert's Dad was a Windsor Ont Police Officer...His best fights imo were against Marty McSorley
Domi. But the mcsorley fight when he was with Pittsburgh was classic.
Да, было время, Детройт давал прикурить. А сейчас жалкое зрелище.
Nothing was sweeter than when Ciccarelli sucker punched Enrico Ciccone I HATED him And Jocelyn Lemieux. And Dirk Graham. Pretty much every Blackhawk.
Give blood fight probe
I'm glad that era is over. Many of the goons of that era hated having to fight all the time.
I miss this NHL
Yea, Chicago was dirty, but Wings didn't put up with that crap!
lol wings were just as dirty.
Detroit had so many great NHL players 👏 fans very fortunate for terrific owners 👏 😅🏒🥅
Probie was the heavyweight King but nobody had a right hand like Joey Kocur. So fun being a fan of the Bruise Brothers.
