behn wilson { hawks } at wendel clark { leafs }

[KrupaDrums]

Wendel took so many shots, he got more than he gave.

[ufcenforcer]

Win Clark! Btw, its a known fact that Wilson and Dave Brown had a homosexual relationship at one point!

[ufcenforcer]

Win Clark!

[hockeystruth]

Good fight, clark handled himself against a much bigger opponent

[17JurgisRudkus17]

Wendel was 18 years old fighting against one of the baddest pricks in the N. Never say a bad word against Wendel! His fans are legion.

[khav11]

wilson win

[deckham]

Wow! That was a great scrap....

[wehateturkss]

To be fair clark had guts taking on an better fighter like wilson

[lakeerie90s]

clark was winning until about 0:28 then boom

[pharoe316]

Wilson got the upper hand on this fight. His punches seemed cleaner and more devastating. Kudos to Clark for showing heart. I'm not a Behn Wilson fan at all but to all those that think Clark won, your delusional.

[jperez1910]

Wilson! 

[xendoc]

god bless wendel!!!! thats an 18 year old rookie!! dont make them like they use to!

[xendoc]

god bless wendel!!!!

[flowerdrop1]

WIlson gets the win

[hoyfanofboulder]

How about Clark vs. Joanthan...any opinions?

[dub16100]

@hoyfanofboulder i think if the refs stayed out of it, Jonathan would eventually get the tko as he had more stamina....but if it's 20 seconds or less Wendell would outpunch him i think. Two great fighters.

[malawri67]

Wislon won that tussle.

[DanSnyder101]

you gotta give both equal respect. both allstars, both tough as nuts, both 100% hero. i dont even care who won. i dont think they do.

[sradss1]

Wilson was pretty old here, but definitely won that fight... Much credit to Clark though - guy had guts and the heart of a lion!

[hal4sure]

i still gave it wilson for an old man he landed the hardest shots of the fight and hurt clar. clark did no damage with his rabbit punches

[jetshull]

yeah behn wilson in his prime would have won this one he was a killer.

[kcmbcm103099]

Buddy as far as I know they are always on ice.

[jperez1910]

I liked Wendell but he hit people when they were on the ice. He looked very glad the linesmen stepped in. Wow Wilson landed some good shots.

[raypowersmusic]

@jperez1910 I just said the same exact thing when I watched Wendel throw punches at a downed Mike Peluso. Found myself saying 'Come on, Clarkie - you're better than that.'

[jperez1910]

@raypowersmusic

[jperez1910]

@raypowersmusic

I agree!!! Have a great day.

[Synthesis17]

when you mentioned that Peluso fight i went and watched it. Peluso was throwing punches from the ice. so you can't really blame Clark for punching him back.

[raypowersmusic]

@Synthesis17 Now I see that, and yeah, if you're gonna keep tossing fists from the ice, that's a meathead move and you deserve the leverage disadvantage.

Good call.

[shelter345]

How the hell did the both of them stay up? Grate tilt.

[dc013]

Good tilt!

[TonyTwistFan]

clark lol what a homo brian orser must of been proud

[mistrbrwn]

lol Tony Twist?? you're a fan of Tony Twist, the steroid junkie?? He's the one taking it in the ass, not Clarkie.

[WatchVenusSpa]

Wilson would have killed Wendel 10 years earlier but in 1986, whole other story. Wendel would have fought him in his prime or not which is why he will always have my respect.

[Love4SK]

Clark was insane tough. 5'10, played 6'8

[squirrelray1]

Hate teams if you want. but history shows Wendel Clark to be one of the best leaders inLeafs history! He lead by example, scoring around 20+/ year but many were important goals. he energized his team with hits, fights and generally gritty play. He didn't take cheap shots and he wouldn't let his opposition either. Great vid.

[babystinky]

thats when Clark's back was still alright. After his back went on him he started loosing some fights and looking weaker.

[angustus5]

Clark is a God.

[jetshull]

clark took on the tuffest, i mean wilson was a anvil at the end of his arm type of guy ...........jeeeezuz.

[supergwats]

wilson's right cross late in the fight would have crippled any guy off the street. clark had an iron skull though. he showed up nicely here against a much feared heavyweight

[classicNHLfights]

agreed

[rjst09]

once again, Wendel Clark way over his head, typical throughout his entire career.

[snouter]

Big Behn never lost a fight in the NHL. How about the way he smacked Wendall after Wendall tried to take advantage of the jersey over Behn's head? Just another day at the office for Wilson.

[slaughterer01]

That was a draw at best, both landed some great shots Clark won the start and Wilson won the end. But has to be a draw because neither wanted to stop until it was over.

[larasa007]

a draw? your kidding right? If that fight would of lasted any longer Clark would of been knocked out at the end. I don't consider that a draw, i would say that was a ass whopping. To me Wilson and Fotiu were my all time fav

[malawri67]

The linesmen always jumped in to save Wendy when he was in jeopardy.

[Stoiky14]

Idiot. It was a pretty even fight, and besides that, calling Wendel Clark 'wendy' is beyond stupidity.

He was one of the toughtest guys in the NHL, bar none.

[malawri67]

shut up you stupid asshole.

[Stoiky14]

That was relevant.

Seriously, go be a bitter Canuck fan somewhere else.

[malawri67]

Clark was a cheap shot artist for the dreadful maple losers OL!!!AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[Stoiky14]

If by cheap-shot you truly mean 'destroyer of souls', then yes he was.

By my description, cheap shot artists were players like Ulf Samuelsson, Slava Fetisov, and Bryan Marchment in addition to many more. Clark is better than all of them.

[malawri67]

He was a coward,always jumping his opponents and getting a couple of punches before the other guy there was a fight@!!!!

And no different then Samuelsson,Marchement,Kasparai­tis...

Fuckin maple laughs!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

[Stoiky14]

Clark's fighting strategy was all about starting fights quickly. Other players knew what they were getting into when they messed with Clark.

Seriously, you know nothing about hockey. And yes, you are a butt-hurt Canucks fan.

[malawri67]

Wendy's strategy was JUMPING his opponnents like the coward he was!

You are a sorry maple LOSERS prick!AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

[Stoiky14]

Wendel only tried to fight someone if they already had their gloves off, or if they tried to cheap shot him.

Every time you post, you're reaffirming the idea that you are a 13 year old canucks fan.

[dtrrose]

check out Fotiu vs Wilson, Fotiu almost knocked him out...........but keep dreaming.

[justice008a]

@dtrrose body of work bud. Wilson is either #1, 2 or 3 all-time... Fotiu not in the top 200.  Wanna name all of the tough guys on Fotiu's resume? There's probably more people living in your house than you could name

[dtrrose]

@justice008a how about wilson, holmgren, nilan , durbano and gordie lane just to name a few plus dave schultz was quoted as saying he wanted nothing to do with nicky boy! Granted wilson had way more fights than nicky because he probably had triple the ice time because he was a way better player. But in the one fight wilson had with nicky it was a mismatch so SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[justice008a]

@dtrrose Lane was a punching bag, Kevin McClelland said every punch he hit him with felt like a 300 yd drive. Schultz was a pioneer but never an elite NHL fighter. Chris Nilan doesn't belong in any top 500 list; an absolute gutless fraud who took humiliating pummelings from Wilson, Playfair...even Scott Mellanby was too much for Nilan. I saw Fotiu in Calgary and Hartford; pitiful. I see why Ranger fans think Fotiu was tough though. One of the only guys ever to wear the jersey with any guts

[Flyers20Fan]

@dtrrose check out every other fight by wilson with the flyers, only lost twice out of 52 fights as a flyer, to fotiu and wensink, the only reason fotiu won was cus he had a great grip of wilsons throwing arm, wilson was the better fighter no doubt

[khav11]

@dtrrose almost ko him? fotiu was a punching bag against wilson good try!

[dtrrose]

@khav11 please dude not sure what video you watched , but Nicky beat him good and then rocked him at the end, almost floored big bad ben...........lol. Plus Nicky didn't even wear a helmut and he pounded his sorry ass. KEEP DREAMING!

[khav11]

@dtrrose im sure staying in the dream i love having your mother sexy ass on my penis

[dtrrose]

@khav1 You are some loser dude! you still wet your bed.......lol?

[khav11]

@dtrrose first of all i thought it was a wilson clark match-up which wilson won handily wilson was quite young when he fought old timer fotiu. fotiu fought for 29-9 wilson : 60-4 you do the math! nuff said and wilson fought every single heavies fotiu was more fightin middle scrappers second rate fighters. he got killed by jay wells!

[hoyfanofboulder]

@snouter Yr a funny lil girl.

[hoyfanofboulder]

@snouter Yr crying about cheap stuff? How about Wilson fighting Bossy? How about Wilson runnung interference on Clark gillies just before Gillies pounuded Hoyda? How aboutWilosn using a helmet againt helmetless tough guys? What a tough guy...

[justice008a]

@hoyfanofboulder what a tough guy is right.... toughest ever. How was he "using" his helmet exactly? You mean by wearing it? As the NHL mandated by rule as of June 1, 1979? I'm sure you must mean he was headbutting guys with the helmet right? Or taking it off and trying to break it over guys' heads right? Or maybe you're just talking out the side of your ass and don't know what the fuck you're talking about??? Yup that's the one.

[khav11]

@snouter actually wilson is top3 all time fighters easily. but he lost fights narrowly but i think plett wensik beat him. 3-4 narrow losses is nothing compare to what 60 wins and almost all clear? LMAO dave brown was another danger savage. another 120-10 losses those 2 flyers had 10 wins/1 loss ratio LMFAO

[bareknuckles2u]

Bombs away! It looked like Clark all the way at first but Wilson really came back...holy shit!

[siddy17]

In a close fight the decision goes to the guy with no helmet. Advantage Wendell Clark.

[malawri67]

Clark early,Wilson late.Decisison Wilson.

[eddubbs]

Wilson kicked his fucking ass. That pussy clark was a punching bag in this one!

[curtcobainforever20]

yeah he beat probert before and hes a pussy lmfao

[aljanadcob]

Decision: Wilson. But close.

[aljanadcob]

Yeah, maybe, and if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

[angustus5]

americans pretending to know about hockey is a joke...stick to baseball..wendel was a warrior because he fought all comers regardless or height weight or reputation..

[OrrCountry]

Now THERE'S a brilliant comment. Speaking of jokes...YOU would undoubtedly be surprised by how much many of us know about hockey. It used to be Canada's domain, but no more.

[aljanadcob]

decision-wilson

[jwydell]

seriously ? if his helmet wasn't superglued to his head like a little bitch clark would have easily beat him.

[bobbyblueblaze]

Superglued? what? Please elaborate. haha

[ProbertFire]

Pretty good showing by Clark, but he's probably glad the stripes got in when they did. Wilson was a danger.

[southdakota1001]

Why is it that the linesmen always jumped in just before Wendel was about to get destroyed in a fight?

[Suprarush]

And can you give us examples of when Wendel was in trouble? I've seen Wendel take his fair share of punches but as far as him being destroyed? thats NEVER happened, as far as him being ko'd or TKO'd again NEVER happened, so watch a few more Wendel fights and you'll figure out soon enough why he was probably the toughest lb for lb player EVER!!!!!!

[southdakota1001]

Umm. let me see: There was John Kordic (knocked Wendel down, rung his bell, then the linesmen jumped in), Bob Probert (Wendel grabbed Bob's leg like a girl after Bob put him down. Wendel was never the same physically), Marty McSorely (3 fights, the refs had to save him from certain injury), Harold Snepsts (knocked Wendy to his knees, and refs jumped in to save him). Refs also had to hold back Grimson, to keep Wendel from being killed. Also had to save him from Mark Tinordi. Shall I go on?

[dmellis98]

Unless you know anything about being an enforcer, I suggest you go back to playing with your cows at your parent's farm.

I would suggest you read a book, but being from South Dakota, that would be asking too much wouldn't it?

[southdakota1001]

So, you can't argue with my logic, so you make a personal attack. Gosh, you're soooo smart and funny. Why don't you go back to your masterbating to old Leaf's clips on you tube. lol.

[dmellis98]

What logic? Everything you stated in the above statement is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if it is Clark or Probert. If one fighter is getting handled, then the linesman must get involved. It isn't just Clark who gets helped.

That was my point.

Your theory is that the league must protect Clark then, like it does Crosby today. This, is inaccurate.

So, yokel, who's the smart one now?

[southdakota1001]

The difference is, Crosby doesn't run around taking cheap shots or trying to deliberately injure people; OR jump on some rookie non-fighter; all the while trying to create some reputation as a "tough guy"; and then need to be rescued. I'd say there's plenty of relevancy here, in terms of the special treatment Wendy got from the league.

Even a cow can understand that; but apparently not you.

By the way, are you still enjoying your old leafs clips?

[mistrbrwn]

lol special treatment?? you must be high.

[55Porter]

Tocchet manhandled him too. Just found it on Youtube.

[dmellis98]

Yeah, I saw that too. Tocchet is a big boy. Classic power forward.

[Suprarush]

He never knocked Wendel down, he hit him hard ad Wendel turned away, after Wendel hit him 10X. Probert got Wendel in the spin cylce, kind of hard to get going, Wendel was 3-1 vs the Heavyweight champ of the league. Snepts never knocked Clark down, if you've EVER been in a fight other than with your sister it was Clarks momentum, Snepts was throwing noogies. Grimson? this is the reason Clark was injured so oftern from fighting bums with 5 career goals.

[67cabman]

thats because clark is a leaf legend and i agrre with you no one ever laid clark out..

[nuklz]

this fight was unusually long...Clarks fights last about 10 to 15 seconds with the other guy laying on the ice.

[adamus77]

is there not a wendel fight on here that you havent tried to bad mouth? I doubt very much so that there was a conspiracy developed by nhl officials to help Wendel when he got into a fight.

[Suprarush]

Grimson dropped his stick to make it look good (like he wanted to fight Wendel) I didn't see Grimson take one step towards him though. Tinordi never knocked wendel down either useless, I said before he took a few good punches but you've yet to indicate a TKO/KO for anyone vs. Wendel. McSorely was 3-2 vs. Wendel and he wore that shiner for the rest of the p/o's. Tell me Mcsorely didn't take 4 of the best strokes to the face you've ever seen. Stop screwing your Aunt & get real here! B.S'r

[BoSoxnation1972]

ok youre an idiot that never played hockey beyond high school! LMAO

Wendel is my 3rd favorite player ever behind Neely and Tocchet...but you have to admit when he lost, in order to be a true fan! Tinordi OWNED Wendel! It was a bad match up. Clark needed to jump out into a lead when fighting his opponents! He rarely squared off cleanly, but prefered to have landed a few punches before his opponent was set.(not a bad way to fight-just not the fairest)

[jcnyoooooooooooout]

what a surpise.. boston player on yr list!

[BoSoxnation1972]

as a favorite player to watch? why wouldnt it be? I suppose you'd rather watch a NY Ranger player play? ROTFLMAO Oh wait..none of them could match any of the 3 players I named in Rangers HISTORY!

I did love Gillies and Nystrom though..but you sound like a Rangers cunt!

[Suprarush]

You don't think anyone knew Wendel was a fighter? You think someone would have got the jump on Clark first? But while you played with your skates in your mouth I was playing Jr A (not your fantasy league). Check Neely Sameulson( Hartford) Who jumped who? Tinordi did well against Wendel but Wendel was never hurt from him and most likely shouldn't have been fighting. Probert was TKO'd many times as was Kocur, And Clark fought 3 of the top 10 in Wilson, Probert, McSorely need I say more?

[BoSoxnation1972]

Who fucking said I didn't think anyone knew wendel was a fighter? Are you a moron? Fighters gain reputations for how they fight! Wendel had a reputation for hitting his opponent before he was set. Don Cherry has talked about it dozens of times.

Now as to your claim to have played junior A, what team did you play for? It's funny that you didn't say tier 1 or tier 2!

I played at Boston College because I didn't quit school at 15 like you Canadian idiots! lol

[Suprarush]

Right! you went to Boston College to become a Cop? And I've got an on-line degree from NASA. Tier 2 OHA. Wendel wasn't about squaring off and dancing around for show, he got right down to business. When they honoured #17 in Nov. Dan Maloney said Wilson didn't look like himself in this fight and it didn't work out too well for him. And since I know everything you've accomplished in your Moms basement, I'll take his word, nothing personal....

[BoSoxnation1972]

That's funny...Wendel said he just kept swinging because if he didn't he thought he would get killed. Wendel himself said he was happy to have earned a draw. I'll take Wendel's word over Dan Maloney's anyday, fuckstick! LMAO

[AMacKShockKidz]

owned..aha

[huntercalgary]

bosox seems to know alot about the dolly.. on every post he has a different career or acomplishment... sports jounalist for 17yrs sports therapist owns 2 bars bartended for joey kocur in detroit bartended for jay miller in boston sean gagnon is his cousin lives nextdoor to b shannahan tore up his dads tix infront of harry sinden goldenglove champ,mma expert lt detective golfed every resort at hilton head has season tix to bruins,pats,celtics,sox cheers for himself during clowning

[BoSoxnation1972]

Toughest pound for pound? Nope! Clark lost to an over the hill Behn Wilson in a good fight. Stan Jonathan beat a younger Behn Wilson, and Stan was only 175lbs! George McPhee was another lb for lb contender.

Now nobody is saying Wendel wasn't tough, but I'm saying he did lose fights, and he didn't fight nearly as many times as Probert OR Kocur! 50% of his NHL fights occured his first 3 years in the league! Kocur had 100 more fights and Probert had twice as many!

[PunChonChin]

Wilson was 28 in this fight, Clark was 19, Wilson didnt hurt his back until later in that same season...Jonathon lost to Jim Nill and Rick Vaive, yes Rick Vaive, he played maybe 5 seasons, Clark played 14 and 10 were with a nasty chronic, back injury, Jonathon dropped 2 guys in his career, Clark dropped at least 25.

[somewhere6]

Vaive's NHL career; 1979-1992, 14+ seasons, 441 goals.

[Suprarush]

Imagine Wilson made short work of Clark Gillies, yet had a tough time with an 18 year old Wendel Clark. Wendel early, Wilson late. Clark got some good ones in with Behns shirt over his head.

[jcnyut000000000000]

You F heads are soooooooo over rating wilson...not to take anything away...good fighter...good balance...but as Potty head helmetted fighters go...you got ta go without helmets or SHUT DA FUK UP! against non-helmeted players...can be a substantial disadvantage.

[Rockmanzzzz]

I was watching this game and I still remember this fight. Wendell had a look on his face as he was going to the box....like he had seen a ghost.

Behn was a very tough fighter.

[shanimal47]

I wish they would drop the instigator, than we would see more good clean hockey like this, and less dirty bullshit like avery and tootoo.

[GabeWayne]

Can you imagine some clinch and hug idiot from today like Stortini or Parros going with one of these two? What happened to the fighters like this?

[woodyt56]

As a Blues fan, I hated Clark in those days, but he was worth the price of admission to watch. Good ole slam-bang western Canada kid. A damn shame that players like him are extinct now. A bunch of face-shield wearing, all their teeth having, no scars on their pretty faces, finesse skating pussies. And that includes the Canadian players, not just the Europeans.

[aljanadcob]

Behn laid a beating on Wendy.

[turpin77777777]

Drunk. You must be drunk.

[aljanadcob]

Idiot.The guy must be an idiot.Stuck in the key.When he came up with a user name, he got his finger stuck in the key.Of phrases.He starts his sentences off with a collection of phrases.Short of a picnic.He is two sandwiches short of a picnic.

[Kainnmaul]

Wendel proved what he was made of time and time again throughout his entire career. He did a great job taking on the one of the best all time heavyweights, goddamn Wilson was tough.

[sradss1]

Great showing by the much smaller Clark, but win for Behn Wilson, who came on real strong, at the end...

[jetshull]

Draw.....behn wilson deserves points on respect.

[pklmlynn]

One of the greatest fights i`ve seen on this.Two very well respected tough guys.Another one was Jonathan and Bouchard.

[wyldebuzz]

that was one hell of scrap... Behn Wilson was one of the toughest dudes of all time and it just shows you how tough Wendel Clark was to take some of Wilson's best shots and comeback with great punches of his own...great clip.

[alartandy]

Marv Albert showed this scrap on the David Letterman Show when Dave was on NBC. He called the segment "The Albert Achievement Awards."

[tacular3]

Awesome!.... This element is really missing in hockey today, that really to bad. The lousy Canucks need some of this.

[meanwiddlekid]

Marv did "The Albert Achievement Awards" every month for 25 years.

[nathanburns]

Clark rules!!!

[Remliv]

Big Behn almost took Wendel's head off with that one right. Great fight, ah the good old days!

[Zaphrod88]

What a fight!!!

[latinochileno1978]

clark gets the decision over wilson

[thenewnhlsux]

I HATED B Wilson, but damn could he fight, he really could 1 of the best NHL fighters ever. Wendel Clark was a emotional great player who was all HEART/SOUL, todays league needs these type players instead of pussy euro's who dont bring ANY emotion or hitting to the game! (zzz boring) Fans love a guy who bring his "lunchbox" to work and works hard! long live tuff hockey

[kj677]

Great fight! Check out what Clark said about this one on the Don Cherry Show. "I thought if I stopped puching he'd kill me". That's respect among gladiators. Wendel was all heart. Wilson was a monster!

[dadblair]

good scrap clark did well wilson was tough they could both toss em with both hands.

[hockeybooks]

behn wilson is well represented here on YouTube

search the correct spelling

and make sure you also watch

his bouts with O'Reilly and wensink

[Camel22221]

Great example of the way hockey used to be. By the time this 1986 fight happened, Wilson's fighting skills had diminished but as a rookie in 1978-79, he took on all comers. Instead of the "hold with your left, throw with your right" tactic that a lot of fighters used back in the 1970's, Wilson mastered the art of taking a couple punches to get into position and then unleashing his powerful uppercut. Probert took that strategy to the next level. Wilson was easily a top 3 fighter in his day.

[darthvtec]

hell yea
