Review: Bob Probert documentary 'Tough Guy' gets bruised

Bob Probert was a warrior on the ice, a boxer on skates, a guy always looking for a fight.

That was enough to make him a Detroit sports legend, but the wobbly documentary "Tough Guy: The Bob Probert Story" has difficulty standing on its own two feet, and is content recounting the former Red Wing's damaged history.

Director Geordie Day uses grainy game footage to show what Probert did best: punch people's lights out. Through interviews with teammates, opponents, friends and family members, we hear about Probert's love of fighting, which was only occasionally interrupted by the game of hockey.
