1996-1997 Regular Season

Date / Time	Away / Home Team	Away / Home Player
Nov 19, 1996	Chicago Blackhawks	Bob Probert
1pd 18:55	Edmonton Oilers	Kelly Buchberger
Comments: After fair square off at center ice, Buchberger lunges in and throws a couple of rights that don't connect. There's a short pause before they start exchanging around seven rights a piece, but not many of the punches land. They grapple a bit after the exchange of rights, and Buchberger switches to the left and throws four lefts, but none of them land. Probert stays with the right and answers back. His first two rights don't land, but the third connects solid and stuns Buchberger. Buchberger ducks his head and Probert throws four uppercuts with one landing well. Probert lets up after the fourth uppercut, and when he does Buchberger tries a haymaker right, but it doesn't come close to landing. Probert starts with the uppercuts again and drives Buchberger down to his knees. The linesmen finally come in and its over.

A straight right stunned buchberger and then the uppercut finishes him. If big Bob wasn't holding him, I think kelly would have gone down after the uppercut.

Buchie in over his head but a great effort.

Probert at his professional best, made every shot count, Buchberger really opened himself up when he tried to get Proberts helmet off. Pat on the back for Bucky though, he took a swing long after it was clear he was beaten. I think Probert was about to lay off at that point too.

I remember when probert first came up. He was used to get in front of the net because he was so hard to move. Then they made an enforcerer out of him. He had such great balance, he would trade blow for blow. I really never recall him loosing a fight from punches, he fell once or twice but the payback would be hell for the opponenet. He could take a punch.
