With the Leafs leading 5-0 in game seven of their second round series against the Blues, Wendel Clark pulls a "waster" on Curtis Joseph.
My favorite part of the entire sequence is the MLG crowd reaction: an excited buzz as they realize Clark has a chance at a hat trick, followed by momentary confusion when they see that he didn't score, followed by delirious cheers when they realize he's chosen to murder the other team's goalie instead.
Joseph's attempt to shrug it off as no big deal is actually sort of badass, or at least it would have been if Curt Giles hadn't completely ruined it by rushing over to give him a hug. That part kills me.
On a related note, this was the only actual slapshot Wendel took in his entire NHL career.
I had this play at #12 on my list of the Top 17 Wendel Clark moments of all time: http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2008/11/...

"And the mask saves Curtis Joseph's life". I love Harry Neale. Leaf broadcasts have been 50% worse without him. Millen sucks. He isn't a homer, he isn't funny and 70% of his comments begin with: "When I was playing..."

I loved Wendal's game but I think if he didn't bash his body all to hell with his those fights and hits he could have been one of the offensive greats. He didn't do too bad but he could have had hall of fame numbers if he didn't miss so many games due to injury from the style he played. Sure he was a great fighter but there were alot skilled guys who could fight but didn't have to. Selfless of him to sacrafice numbers to play that role and fight goons like grimson and domi.

Clark had such an awesome shot. Joseph looked humiliated on this shot, he looked like he was going to cry. Man I wish management could put another leaf team like this one on the ice. Never though joseph would end up being one of the best leaf goalies.

It wasnt poor play against the devils. He was amazing in those series and equal to Brodeur (and this was when brodeur was in his prime). However Brodeur had a better team in front of him so they won the series
