Bob Probert -- From the penalty box to the radio booth

He's spent 17 years in the NHL, mostly with the Detroit Red Wings before going to the Chicago Blackhawks.

He's appeared in 935 NHL games and is fourth on the all-time penalty minute leaders' list with 3,300 penalty minutes.

Now NHL tough guy Bob Probert has "unofficially" retired from the NHL and has become a broadcaster for Chicago.

I say unofficially because as of now, "Probie" hasn't said whether he will return as a player or if the broadcasting thing goes well, will they bring him back.

Over the summer, the 37-year old Probert signed a one year $600,000 contract with the Blackhawks. But, after three exhibition games, he suffered a groin injury and was placed on the injured reserve list.

With the Blackhawks acquisition of fellow enforcer Chris Simon from the Washington Capitals, Probert probably saw the handwriting on the wall. There was a new lawman in the "Windy City" and his days of being "team security" were over.

Now he is the analyst for the flagship station of the Blackhawks, WSCR Radio.

He has never done radio before, but like his hockey career, you can bet the house that Probert will give broadcasting his best fighting shot.
