I'm a habs fan but I always said that Clark was one of those players who didn't go after a soft spot. He took on all comers and more often than not was hitting above his size and weight. He always had my respect and I always wished he had played for us. What a hockey player. Old school !!!

@@alwillk 1 good season? he scored 30+ goals 6 times!!! while only playing more than 65 games twice, due to a 1987 back injury that never healed. -130 is bad, but considering some of the teams he played for (80's Leafs, pre-Lecavalier/St. Louis Lightning) were absolute dog water, and considering that at least pre-Domi Clark had to score AND play sheriff, he wasn't half bad. Clark was -50 in his first 2 years despite scoring 34, and 37 goals, but that's a team stat not a personal stat (also let's not forget, he was a defenseman, the Leafs changed his position. Name another #1 pick that's had THAT happen?) Mario Lemieux was -35 in his rookie season with 100 points because the 84-85 Penguins were atrocious (No, I'm not comparing Clark to Lemieux, I'm WELL aware he loses that comparison.... by a lot).

@@LowKeyContender In my opinion most teams could use a Wendel Clark type of player. Wendel was a throwback - even back then...cuz he used the wrist shot, heavy (but mostly clean bodychecker) and Wendel fought his own battles and also stood up for teammates when it was time. Wendel played instinctually and shit just developed. Almost all of Wendel's scraps developed during the play....he wasn't just dropping the gloves off the faceoff like some premeditated ritual. Immensely entertaining to watch.
