00:00I want to talk about Bobby Probert. Is he beautiful or is he beautiful?
00:05He was the big boy on the block, without a doubt.
00:09You guys better be very careful, because that's a touchy subject right now.
00:18Mr. Probert, I understand that you are considered by many to be the heavyweight champion of the NHL.
00:25He's a fan of Gowdhike!
00:27Nobody wanted to play against him.
00:28He didn't like fighting. He did it because he did it. He had to do it.
00:36The first time I ever did a Cope, that was my first year pro.
00:39It's not like Bob's problems are that unique in our game.
00:42People are watching. People are going to be testing you.
00:45Obviously, a system that takes children away from their parents.
00:48You're going to have to show some restraint.
00:50He could con anybody into thinking everything was okay.
00:53He was always worried about hurting me, or hurting the kids, or the pain he caused others.
00:58His eyes were like light bulbs.
01:01I heard an ounce that say, I get stronger as the fight goes on.
01:04He never knew what he was going to do.
01:07Bob Probert. Oh, man, that's Jeremy.
01:09He had no qualms about hitting a goal. None whatsoever.
01:14Don't point at Probert.
01:16Ah, isn't he a beauty?
01:17That's how he was raised.
01:22Boys don't cry. Men don't cry.
01:23I'll see you next time.
