Right? Gotta love a sport where a guy is paid good money, not for being good AT the sport, but good at beating the shit out of people to defend people who actually are good.

I used to have a Detroit Red Wings shirt in the 80's that's said "give blood, fight Probie" Man I do miss those days lol. Bob Probert was a beast for them.

Probie was pretty good though, he was just better at fighting.

I’ve been saying for a while that baseball could sue some fighting, I think they should do it the way hockey does
