Edits

A couple observations:

Cutting the references to Clark's playing career outside of Toronto is a disservice to the article. I restored them.
The extended passages on the Leafs' team woes in the early 1990s have little to nothing to do with Clark himself. I tightened that up. --Faustus37 02:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe Clark ever played in the Stanley Cup Finals as is noted in the trivia section.

I believe that's correct. The closest he ever got was the conference finals in '93. I edited accordingly. --Faustus37 22:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I edited "Prince of Wales" conference to read "Campbell" conference. It is a common misconception that the Leafs were in the Wales Conference back then because most eastern based teams were on that side. The Leafs, however, were an exception and were finally re-aligned to the east several years later.
I also added the Pat Quinn reference for a couple reasons... 1) Quinn is the last NHL coach for whom Clark played, and 2) it is somewhat ironic that Quinn's Canucks prevented Toronto from reaching the finals that year.

Reputation section

Should this be removed entirely? It's completely unsourced and not written in encyclopedic style, e.g.

"Clark came into the league swinging"
"showing a ferocity seldom matched throughout the league"
"a relative who's who of his era's NHL tough-guys"
"ability to change a game with a single bodycheck" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:420:2840:1250:96A:FA4D:B31E:7339 (talk) 16:17, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
