I did, and so did most of the people who saw the incident. Probert saw him that morning and tried to suck up to the champ. From Kordic's book:
Quote:
Here is the exact paragraph from the John Kordic story "The Fight of his Life"
" ....He often dropped into the Cafe' behind the Arena .... On one occasion, Bob Probert was sitting inside with his lawyer Patrick Ducharme, waiting for an order. Ducharme had been asked by the Red Wings to accompany the team on road trips, to help keep Probert out of trouble. John, instantly recognizing the NHL's widely acclaimed number one enforcer, walked by and said 'Hi Bob, how's it goin, hope you have a good game tonight.' ... Probert never raised his head, never took his eyes off his coffee cup. When John left, Ducharme wondered why his client behaved so poorly. 'He just doesn't want to f*cking fight me tonight', Probert snorted.

Visual proof, Probert chased him all over before this clip gets started as well:
