Bob Probert has to rank pretty high for cheap shots.

He was one of the strongest, toughest players ever in a legitimate fight, but he seemed to prefer dishing out blind hits and sucker punches.

I agree, Probert had some skill too when he chose to use it. He wasn't a Hart Trophy candidate by any means, but he could have been a steady 15 goal scorer if he hadn't let the booze get to him. His play suffered greatly after that and he became little more than a side show.
