He was not a star player. Heart and soul, yes. Back then I’d have taken Tim Kerr over Clark.
Heart and soul 100%
He also led the Leafs in goals and penalty minutes in his first 2 seasons in the league. Both seasons scoring over 30 goals and over 200 penalty minutes
Then in the 3rd season he got fucked by a dirty cross check that fucked his back for life.
The guy would lay it on the line for any teammate and could score like a mother fucker
Mark messier? That person would be a damn fool if they said that
First they are completely different players, although they did kind of have the same mentality in that they were team 1st
Clark was more drop the gloves and fuck you up where mark got his message to people in different ways
I'm trying to think of a comparable to Clark, but I can't, I don't know another player that could light anybody in the league up with the fist and score over 30 goals
Tim Kerr?
The guy who was signed 5 years before Wendel was drafted?
I'm confused
If you are saying Kerr was better, id say you are comparing different beasts
Kerr was obviously the better goal scorer, anybody who questions that is stupid
Kerr would drop the gloves if he had to but come on, if you're going into a brawl, who do you want on your side, Clark or Kerr?
And that' no disrespect to Kerr, great player, scored 50 4 fucking times
