A few years ago two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to see if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said "Get the kids and get out of the house, we'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue". The "clown statue" was actually a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this on 10 videos tonight the clown will be in your bed at 3:00am with a chainsaw in his hand. Sorry don't want this to h
Leafs pick first in the worst draft year in about 30 years and get Wendel who was a slightly above average NHLer but nothing more No wonder they are a perpetually crappy team. Joe Nieuwendyk was the best player in that draft followed by Igor Larionov and any Leaf fan with some level of courage would admit that.
actually one guy did his name is stan jonathon toughest guy in the league hands down wendel was actually a pretty big guy it was stan who personified it i can honestly say that
Ok. WC would take an opponent out...said opponent would be lying on the ice listening to his bell ringing for let's say about 15 seconds (maybe more). Follow me so far? Good.
Thereby putting The Leafs a man up for the length of time it took this unfortunate opponent to get his lame ass up off the ice and over to his bench. WC would do that perhaps 4 or 6 times a game...that's a lotta time to be going 5 on 4. Wendel Clark was a weapon.
there's no point comparing sundin and clark. they're essentially the same. they were very effective captains and were both strong players. The were both great. Neither was better. It's just down to who like more in the end.
Torontonian here, Wendel Clark was awesome because he was skilled and when he fought he was the best. He could hit like a mofo too. He's the epitome of a Canadian hockey player but I will say this, everybody rips on Sundin cause he supposedly didn't do anything in the playoffs for us, WHAT DID CLARK DO FOR US IN THE PLAYOFFS? Sundin forced the other teams best defenders to cover him every shift he was a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
@EAchankre yo don't you fuckin' dare rip on Clark's playoff performances. Sundin only had ONE good playoff year with us and that was 1999. Unlike Wendel where he only had 2 great Leafs teams (1993 and 1994) Sundin had multiple and only performed in the season. In 2002, we made it to the conference final WITHOUT him. Wendel had 20 points in 21 games in 1993, 10 of them goals and he was the heart and soul. He also scored 9 goals in 1994 to lead the team, and captained back to back CF Leafs teams.
No, you are for falling for stupid shit like Clark is a better player than Sundin. It's retards like you that hold this franchise back from making good moves to win a cup..."oh there's too many europeans", "only a canadian should wear the C" blah blah blah
@EAchankre tell me how Clark is not better. at the end of the day, it's a matter of opinion, but one thing you cannot do is downgrade Wendel and his contribution to the Leafs, and you call yourself a Leaf fan (you are a poser). They both proved they can get 70+ points and score 30+ goals. one big difference is that Sundin backed down from a lot of guys, Wendel backed down from no one.
Also, we had more success with Wendel. And I say the best possible captain should wear the C, Canadian or not. But there's no doubt that Wendel was a far better captain than Sundin. Of course I would love to have a Canadian captain, because Canadians are meant to be captains due to the way they play the game, but a guy like Lidstrom is definitely captain worthy.
How many players today could be 30+ goal scorers and rack up the amount of points Clark did, 409 points in 428 NHL games played, and still be one of the toughest guys in the leauge?
@mfornelos Not many could do it today if ever but then neither could Wendel, your stats are way off!!! he actually had 409 pts in 657 games,.....Clark wants to fight everyone on the ice BUT there are NO fighters out there!!!
And when Canadiens enforcer Todd Ewen wanted to settle the score with Clark the next time the two teams met, Clark suddenly didn´t feel like fighting.
Also don´t give me this crap about coach´s orders not to fight, or the team winning and Clark not wanting to take a penalty. That´s good old fashioned bullshit. It´s about pride and honor, and it´certainly seems
Clark lacked pride and honour? Do you know how many times he fought and scored in the same game? He's probably in the top 10 all time for Gordie Howe hat-tricks. Clark is one of a kind, and true example of a captain. He could put 76 points on the board, score 46 goals, fight and WIN, threw thunderous body checks, had the hardest wrist shot in the league and could also lead his team to back-to-back conference finals. There is no captain like him, and he is a TRUE example of pride and homour.
Yes we are aware by now that Maple Leaf fans like yourself see absolutely no fault whatsoever with Clark, and that he was the Second Coming of Our Lord. Love is as blind as ever. However much you may love him he was a rather one-dimensional player, with a very good wrist shot, a very good fighter, Top ten during some years before his bad back got the better of him. Clark could also be cheap and dirty and a spot picker at times.
You say he was one-dimensional, then you openly say that he had a very good wrist shot, was a very good fighter and was top 10 durinmg some seasons. He also had 76 points in 64 games in 1993-94, after the back injury.
He is the complete opposite of one-dimensional. He could do it all. I'm being honest when I say that there were very few players ever in NHL history to play like him. He was a mix of an enforcer and a superstar.
What I did was point out the few things that he was good at. "He could do it all." Yes, love is indeed blind in this case. When checking Clark´s stats I was actually surprised how poor they were. Only once did he have more 23 assists in a season, and only twice did he have more 30 goals in a season, and the fact that he was injured so much only adds to the feeling that he is extremly overrated by some.
He had 6 30+ goal seasons and a 46 goal season as well, in 64 games. Had he played more, he would have definitely touched 50. He also scored 34 goals in his ROOKIE season. How many players can say they scored 30+ goals in their first season? In terms of assists, playmaking wasn't his game. He was a finisher more than anything, or a guy that can carry the puck up and simply blast it. As for injuries, why would you say that? Like he wanted to get injured... Shit happens, but he's a warrior.
And you come say that to me and not over the computer. What an idiot you are that you can´t even see that you are doing exactly the same thing that you criticise me of doing. Frigging unbelievable.
Maybe that's because the Leafs were winning and he didn't want to jeopardize anything? Maybe that's because the coach told him not to? Don't forget, moron, that Clark was an all-around player. His job wasn't soley to fight or to enforce. The guy put the puck in the net like water under a bridge, threw unbelievable hits, AND he also fought. Maybe the team need him on the ice to score. Think a little.
If you´re going to rough up the Denis Savard´s of the hockey world, then you´d also better be ready to accept when the heavyweight of Savard´s team wants a piece of you. That is of course unless you don´t mind being labeled a spot picker. Fighting Denis Savard then turning down Ewen, that´s beyond cowardice. That should be clear to anybody but nitwits like yourself.
Lucic fought and destroyed Komisarkek a few months ago, and refused to fight Laraque the game later. Not that he couldn't, but HIS COACH TOLD HIM NOT TO FIGHT. Maybe you don't know that Pat Burns threw a fit at the Leaf coach for sending Clark to destroy, and it was obvious: he sent Clark on the ice that shift to rough up whoever he can. I don't know what happened the next time they played, but again, unless a player is a belligerent, blood seeking fool, there's no need to fight just because.
Todd Ewen was injured during the game when Clark roughed up Savard, but he made it clear in the press that he wanted a piece of Clark the next time the teams met. Ewen tried to get him to go a number of times during the following game but Clark "The Saint" had suddenly turned into a Lady Byng trophy candidate, and refused to go with Ewen. Of course this made him smart in your eyes, or he had received "coaches orders"
Dude, the chances of a coach telling a player not to fight when another player publicly calls him out are greater. The next time they played was in a while, so he wanted to throw Ewen's game off. What a let down that is, to look forward to a fight for weeks, only to be turned down flat. Just like when Laraque was rejected by Lucic, he was useless that game. He was just following Lucic the entire game, only to be told 100 times "I'm not gonna fight". It's the same concept.
I´ve never seen the Lucic-Laraque incident, but I´ve read a little about it on some hockey web sites and I´ve noticed that even some Bruins fans are starting to call Lucic a spot picker. And Bruins fans are nearly as hysterical about their team as Maple Leaf fans are about the Leafs, not quite as hysterical, but almost, lol.
lol, whatever the case may be, it was announced that Claude Julien, Boston's coach, told Lucic not to fight. I'm not trying make an excuse, I'm saying the truth.
I wonder how you would´ve reacted if some well known heavyweight had roughed up Doug Gilmour and then refused to accept when the Leafs tough guys wnated to settle the score with that guy? I´m convinced that you would be calling that guy a spot picker.
The incident with Savard-Ewen was not an isolated one. He once tried to pound Bob Brooke´s head through the ice while sitting straddled on top of him then refused to dance when Basil McRae wanted revenge.
If Doug Gilmour cross-checked a guy in the back, he would deserve a rough up. It depends. If an enforcer simply went to take out Gilmour for no reason, just like McSorley in 1993, then I would fucking call him the biggest coward if he refused to fight. And as for Brooke, he was willing to fight, and Wendel muscled him down, and that's how he got the advantage to throw repeated blows.
You don't just fight because you want to make the other guy happy. He did what he had to, so end of story.
we <3 you Wendel!
