They broke the mold with him.....there will never be the likes of him again.

Thank you Wendel, for all those amazing moments during a time of lows.....

He’s right, he does kind of look like the villain/anti hero from the Goon movies.

Man those were some scraps you don’t see anymore. Love the comments about what exactly is the refs job back then.

Kind of blew his mind and a nice angle on how a sport fan unfamiliar with hockey see’s it. Ha i like it.

One Cup in his time with the Leafs...that's all I'd asked for.

My favourite Leaf.

back when nhl players in their 20's looked like grizzled 40 year old men

That performance by Liev Schreiber as the veteran tough guy was so good and almost out of place in a largely silly movie. When I saw the movie I just assumed it was some former player who could act, I didn't even recognize him as the actor I'd seen in several other things.

Imagine if our current guys had 1/10th of the heart Wendel had. I’d be planning the parade.

Bang on. These current stars today are a whole new breed. Most of them wouldn't even played back in Wendel's days.

That hit by Clark on Bruce Bell is the greatest hit I have ever seen.

Canucks fan coming to say everyone loved this guy. Growing up he was the definition of a hockey player and gave everything every shift. As someone mentioned above they broke the mold after making him !

The Canucks had their own heart and soul guys in Linden and Smyl though!

Wendel Clark will forever be remembered as one of the most favourite Leafs players of all time.

Nobody on the current roster comes close in terms of popularity. It wouldn't surprise me if Clark's jersey still sells as much as anyone on the team today. That's because when the Leafs were an absolute garbage hockey team Wendel Clark still showed up every god damn night and played his heart out.

Once upon a time it meant something to wear the blue leaf.

It meant putting the team before yourself. It meant standing up for each other in the face of overwhelming adversity. It meant making personal sacrifices for the benefit of the greater good.

And Wendel Clark was the embodiment of everything a Leafs player stood for.

Clark poured his heart and soul into this team. Despite having one of the worst owners of any sports team ever. Because Clark knew the greatest fan base in the world deserved better than the perennial sack of crap it was before he arrived.

It must be so embarassing for him to see what's become of the organization and it's players today.

They did but as much as loved them Wendel was something else that I appreciated !!

There is a big difference between growing up a farm boy and bring an entitled rich kid, and it really, really, shows.

He was a great goal scorer as well. In his rookie season 34 goals and 227 pims. Next season 37 and 271. The team had just finished in dead last when he joined the Leafs. Then the injuries came in year 3. If he focused on scoring instead of the rough stuff he could have been a consistent 50 goal scorer.

Or both with the right linemates
