Probert Crowned Heavy Weight Champ

The Vancouver Province has crowned Bob Probert as the NHL's all time greatest heavyweight.

Our panelists agree, with one dissenter, that Bob Probert is the meanest, toughest, best fighter of all time in the NHL. And if he's tougher than Dave Brown, that's saying something.

Panelist member Don Taylor had some interesting insight:

The bigger the stage, the better Probert fought.
"Who can forget Probert's successful rematch with Tie Domi at Madison Square Garden or his demolishing of Dave Semenko?
"Bob Probert was at his best when all eyes were on him, when his title was challenged, when people doubted him."

Be sure to check out The Vancouver Province's website for more features. There is also a nice article on former Canucks' pugilist Craig Coxe.
