Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 4-1 with a solid 60 min effort

[therealkoho]

One of my favourite players growing up was Clark Gillies. To this day still maybe the strongest hockey player I have ever seen (and by strongest, I mean actual physical strength). Wendel was cut from a very similar cloth.

Gordie Howe, Tim Horton, Larry Robinson, Clark Gillies, Bobby Hull, Reg Fleming are all guys that live in that neighbourhood.

Lionel Conacher often called "Canadas' greatest athlete" may also could have been Canada's strongest athlete. He has a Grey Cup 2 SCs ILPro Baseball championship, Canada Amateur light heavyweight boxing championship, Ontario lightweight wrestling champ, Memorial Cup. On Mens Lacrosse Championship

When he was a NY Ranger he fought Jack Dempsey the worlds current heavyweight champ. At that time it was rumored that Conacher knocked Dempsey down and lost a split decision over 4 rounds. For some reason Wiki says Dempsey knocked him out.

Thanks for clarifying that.
