Talking With Joe Kocur

Free Press special writer Bill Dow continues his "where are they now" series about former Detroit Red Wings players.

Today's profile is on Joe Kocur:“I always wanted to play for the Wings again. I was out of a job, playing in a local beer league and with the Red Wing Alumni team. Bob Probert was with Chicago and I said to him before a game against the Wings, ‘why don’t you kick the crap out of them and maybe they’ll realize they’ll need an intimidator.' Bob obliged and the following day, there was an article about how the Wings needed to get tougher.
