Brett Hull, a former Red Wings player, advocated for Bob Probert's induction into the Hall of Fame during an appearance on the Ice Guardians podcast. Hull believes Probert qualifies as the first enforcer in the Hall, emphasizing his performance and fighting prowess. Probert is remembered for his standout 1987-88 season, where he scored 29 goals and accumulated a league-high 398 penalty minutes. While Hull supports Probert's Hall of Fame candidacy, there is contention regarding the acknowledgment of enforcers in the NHL. Former player Stu Grimson also backed Probert, citing his abilities and impact on the ice. The debate continues as proponents of other enforcers like John Ferguson seek recognition as well.
