Probert would have turned 50 this past June but died of a heart attack while boating with his family on July 5. 2010.
As the Red Wings held their annual HockeyFest Sunday at Joe Louis Arena, they had a very special panel discussion about Probert and his life.
Longtime local radio personality Art Regner served as the host, while Dani Probert, Bob's widow, Joe Kocur and Darren McCarty were the panelists.
