Probie and Kocur on the same team was one of the greatest experiences of my childhood. Every game it was pretty much automatic that someone was going to get destroyed.
I remember reading a newspaper story back in the day when Dexter Manley, big NFL defensive end, was in rehab, acting up in group therapy, throwing chairs, yelling out threats, and generally just being a belligerent jerk. Well, Bob Probert was in his therapy session because he was in rehab also. Supposedly, Probert was having none of this nonsense and got up and told Manley to shut up and sit his ass down or else he would fuck him up. Well, Manley sat down and was a good boy after that. Bob the intimidator!
That story’s not *exactly* true. Probie did tell him to sit down and shut up, but they had a conversation first. The story as it’s told was good for the enforcer mystique. But the truth, which is that Probie connected with Dex on a human level when all these counselors and therapists couldn’t (also after Dex probably didn’t deserve the grace or empathy at that point) is much more powerful imo.
This is an example of why Jody is one of the very best color commentators in the league. Great recollection of how it went down....his recollection. He did fight Probey 4 times in 4 periods. 😌
Thank You Jody For Being Respectful about Probie. You were a decent Fighter but you missed him in his prime or it would have been a lot more painful. 😂
Jody was better than decent. He owned prime Georges. Jody was a legit top-5 for years and could have have been the king for a couple years. He was great.
Jody Shelly was almost unbeatable in junior on the Halifax Mooseheads. The guy would absolutely put a thumping on people, night after night. He was loved as much as Gigure was back then
@@bobofwinnipeg9455 Wendel got beat pretty bad twice, but he did do well the first fight in more punches. But Probert did tko him after he got jumped and then wendel held on for dear life after he took a pumbling. I never respected Wendel cuz he jumped and hit guys on the ground. If he was straight up, I would have. But to many dirty cheap shots. Like Dave Brown. But I commend him for going toe to toe with Bob.
Shit, Craig Berube, Craig Coxe, Chris Nilan, Tony Twist, Sandy McCarthy, Dave Brown, Mike Peluso. Hell, Keith Primeau fought Probie in practice one day. 🤣
@@jlsvideos5990 Look at the comments date you show up late in the conversation by a week,I'm a huge wings fan but Probie being compared to Shelly or he only won because of the jersey coming and Shelley beat him bad and is a better player of course I am going to defend him, he was the best goal scoring enforcer can't say that about Shelley.
I've never played Hocky but I'm just curious - besides the Tie Down Rule,the Legal sized Hockey Sticks,is it possible to somehow 'enhance' the Blades on the Skates to gain an advantage?
I wish they would have asked him what happened after the third fight in the first game when he sort of suckered Probert after the linesmen had already gotten in. Were there words exchanged beforehand? Was Shelley just that pumped up? I always wondered why he did that. I thought it was cheap-particularly to do something like that to a legend. At any rate, great fights. Shelley was a tough dude. I’m glad he played a season for my Rangers late in his career. And we know who Probie was.
Jody joined the church I go to when he came to Columbus, never misses a Sunday unless he is working , always there with his family , great people , helps run with youth summer sport camps ....a true legend here in cbus
Failed to mention it was at the very end of Proberts career not a prime Probert, Shelly was in his prime so I wouldn't use it as an accurate measuring tool.
Don't know if this is typical, but two of my best friends both grew up without a dad (Probert lost his at 14), and you just didn't mess with these guy's because once triggered a totally different animal came out, and those that did got got! Saw it many times, and both were Probe's age, a little older than me.
Probert was just as tough off the ice....tazered 14 times..made tank Abbott shit his pants in Rockford Illinois wresting promotion when probert said to him...listen fat boy, I could end it now or in the ring...took on 5 bouncers ....what did these other guys do......
I don't know maybe cuz Biz lives thousands of miles apart from Whit in AZ? (slight sarcasm). RA & Whit both live in MA but towns apart. Re. Other then their road trip specials & trips here in there, this is how they've always done their pods, even before covid! Just couldn't see them in the past cuz they weren't all posted up on UA-cam like they are now.
Sherry oh I mean Shelly you couldn’t even beat Probert in his 15th season and you were just getting started, Probert would’ve knocked you out easy in his 10th year. I could only imagine what he would’ve done to you in his early years, He would’ve made he crying back to your grandma.
Unfortunately bob was past his prime so sad I wish he would have stopped years before he played to long so many guys hang on to long bobs prime was 87 to 97
Jody was a tough guy who entered the league after Probies prime. That’s how it works and god love him for being respectful.
great great story...he was being honest, he was scared. Good stuff...
You know how tough Probert is when after beating him, the winner says "yeah, this ain't good" LOL
Probie was my all time favorite hockey enforcer. Man, i miss that era of hockey SO MUCH!!
Probie and Kocur on the same team was one of the greatest experiences of my childhood.

@tonym2513 Yea, that was an all time 1-2 punch. 👊
Class act Jody Shelley!
Wow can this guy tell a story!! Unbelievable! Tons of respect for Jody and Bob...both legendary breed of player!
Jody class act, Probie was past his prime but took on all comers till the end. RIP Bob.

I heard that, too.
Racial undertones
😂@@BeEazzzy
@@BeEazzzydoesn’t really count because Probert would’ve beat the black off of him.
Bobz a legend ; Probz vs Domi!! Every round was just as exciting as the last one; true warriors. Rip Probz!
The BELT....miss those days old time hockey...
Respect due to any man willing to drop the gloves and fight a up and comer, the current dude or a has been. 💯
Why wouldn't you put his name in the title? JODY SHELLEY!
Seriously and it's spelled wrong in their description. At least someone else knows how to spell it lol.
Facts
Thank you.
This is an example of why Jody is one of the very best color commentators in the league. Great recollection of how it went down....his recollection. He did fight Probey 4 times in 4 periods. 😌
Bizs face when he says he cut him is all time
Priceless!😂
Thank You Jody For Being Respectful about Probie. You were a decent Fighter but you missed him in his prime or it would have been a lot more painful. 😂
Red Wings Probie was a whole different animal!!
Jody was better than decent. He owned prime Georges. Jody was a legit top-5 for years and could have have been the king for a couple years. He was great.
Top 5 Chiclet's story hands down
RIP Probie.
Great story thanks for sharing that
Great story. Props to Shelly for being respectful and honest.
Awesome story! Big hug from Argentina, I love enforcers!
What an awesome video!!! I so enjoyed hearing that story.
Jody Shelley was crazy tough!
He was but i remember englund for the penguins bloodied him.
"You wanna go?"
"I don't care."
🤣🤣
Jody Shelly was almost unbeatable in junior on the Halifax Mooseheads. The guy would absolutely put a thumping on people, night after night. He was loved as much as Gigure was back then
Gigantic balls to go toe to toe with Probert in this sequence. Well told story
Jody Shelly is a legend in Halifax
Jody shellys a fuckin pussy
@@matthewconroy3994 I doubt you'd say that to his face
Fucking legend mate. I watched him pummel a bunch of donkeys in the q.
@@thedug Haha same, back when they'd let them take their gear off first
I watched Jody play for the Mooseheads , we love him here. I met him a few times and he`s a class act all the way .
Didn't know he had such a good personality
What a story!!! LEGEND
That’s a beauty of a story...
The tough guys are always the best dudes.
Got to love hockey, the dude fights four straight Probert fights, gives Bob nothing but love.
Fought Probby four times when the dude was at the end of his career, 37 years of age. I would’ve loved to of seen this fight when they were both 25.
Amen Bubs
LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 he wouldn't have wanted the second fight with Bob.
37 for Probert was more like 50. Given the drugs he did and the amount of fights he had been involved.
I think Bob at 25 or so was really tough
Nobody could stand toe to toe with probert in his prime
Wendal who is 40 lbs lighter then him had a few good ones with him. Oh I miss those dudes.
Chris nilan
@@davidyates1860 That dude had some serious heart!

Great story
Probie fights with Brownie were epic too. On any given day, either one of them could wear the Heavyweight Belt.
I think shellz won that whole war by points! But ya I'm glad he was humble about it all! Beautiful!
Is this a Bob Probert roast in the comments cause Shelly isn't half the fighter or hockey player that Probert was,even at almost 40yrs old.
I don't know what comment section you're reading but everyone is showing respect to Probz. Nobody could hold a 🕯️ to him in his prime
@@jlsvideos5990 Look at the comments date you show up late in the conversation by a week,I'm a huge wings fan but Probie being compared to Shelly or he only won because of the jersey coming and Shelley beat him bad and is a better player of course I am going to defend him, he was the best goal scoring enforcer can't say that about Shelley.
@:05 both guys on bottom shaking their heads lolololol, shows what a GREAT IDEA that was…..
Shelly seems like a great guy
Wow I never knew Jody Shelly was such a stand up guy. What a class act.
💯respect
I've never played Hocky but I'm just curious - besides the Tie Down Rule,the Legal sized Hockey Sticks,is it possible to somehow 'enhance' the Blades on the Skates to gain an advantage?
What a tough way to make a living.
Hockey players, without question, are the best. Nhlers like Shelly have more charm, class, respect than all other leagues/sports combined
Bold statement & easily disproved.
biz is absolutely loving this look at his face haha
3:16 his winger was Tony Amonte
Just awsome
JOHNSTOWN CHIEFSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS couldn't wait for game day to watch this guy
Great story gotta love the respect hockey guys always display!!! True men

Jody’s mom was my first grade teacher, awesome family

Beating Probert was an accomplishment at any point in his career but he was nearly unstoppable in Detroit.
Back when hockey was actually tough
Failed to mention it was at the very end of Proberts career not a prime Probert, Shelly was in his prime so I wouldn't use it as an accurate measuring tool.
He DID mention it @ 0:20
@@boxychubbo6922 Ahhh from Halifax A.
He absolutely mentioned it was 2002 and that Bob was on the down slide of his career. Did you even listen to him?!?
Fun Video to watch

Jody Shelley is the boy named Sue
I'm pretty sure I was at this game as a kid.
@2:50 wtf is Whitdog lookin at? lol
Great story but how the hell can you spell a guy’s name wrong like that, especially when he fought Probert 4 times in 4 periods lol
Jody pumping tires after a clear cheapshot. He cut you too in the second tilt. At least you had the balls to go.
Biz face when he heard “I cut him” like you know you love fights when that happens
......and you hit him in the face after you were laying on the ground in the last fight. I bet you regret that. What did he say to you
Probert was just as tough off the ice....tazered 14 times..made tank Abbott shit his pants in Rockford Illinois wresting promotion when probert said to him...listen fat boy, I could end it now or in the ring...took on 5 bouncers ....what did these other guys do......
Bs dude. Probie was as quiet timid and shy as they come off the ice
Why is RA so twitchy?
A tough guy named Jody Shelley?
Paul bisonette looks like a Mii
why are they all seperate again?
I don't know maybe cuz Biz lives thousands of miles apart from Whit in AZ? (slight sarcasm). RA & Whit both live in MA but towns apart. Re.

And he died of CTE...RIP BOB!
Heart attack. It’s in the book, described by his wife. They were out on their speed boat.

the 80's and early 90's, hockey was at its peak. Hate what theyve done to the game now...just unwatchable.
"I don't care"
The Moment you was the most unrespektful player...
Cbc was where is was at Sat nights
That was the longest story of my life
Forty Forth
Go in your prime you would have got beat down bro
I’m pretty sure Jody acknowledged that. Do people even listen to the interview?!?
So funny... No this is not good! 😆
Ya always a bunch of Canadians doing the dirty work for the teams. That’s why we pump out the greats on every level. You’re welcome fight fans.
First
Unfortunately bob was past his prime so sad I wish he would have stopped years before he played to long so many guys hang on to long bobs prime was 87 to 97
I love it. They took care of business, so the rest could play.
