Awesome TRIBUTE!!!!!

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

Thanks man!! Very much appreciated 🍻

[@richardaustin735]

The greatest Leaf Captain for the past 50 years. No doubt! Physical, great shot, win at all costs mentality, outstanding team player and NEVER whined or complained!!!

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

He was a true Captain! You can’t teach what he had, he was born with that grit.

[@Smf7161]

Wendel, the BEST Leaf ever!!!!!!

[@fthechance]

In my book, the greatest goal scorer in NHL history was Mike Bossy. Quiet, humble and devoted to the team in all aspects of his career. Would make a great video. Keep up the good work.

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

I 💯 agree with you there. Bossys story is a very compelling one. A video is in the works. Probably see it mid April. Thanks for the support!!

[@nuklz]

The reason I became a hockey fan, and a Leaf fan. If i started watching the game now, i probably wouldn't even bother tuning in. The game today sucks

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

There definitely a lot less physical play in todays game, that’s for sure.

Nobody messed with Wendel. Wendel did the messing. 🇨🇦👊

Slugging it with Ben Wilson aged 18.

[@LastlyMore]

I wonder if Clark won the Stanley Cup, would he be in the hall of fame?

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

I absolutely think he would be 💯

[@palette_1563]

Why does it mention that he was inducted into the HHOF at 5:19?

[@jonnywishbone17]

Wow, lots of mistakes. He only played 793 games, not 1,230. He finished his career back with the Leafs in 2000. He was never a scout or a special advisor, and is not in the Hockey Hall of Fame. He does have his number retired, and a statue on Legends Row.

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

Everything came from his Wikipedia page. I’ve also let them know about the errors.

[@jonnywishbone17]

@@SmokeNIceNetwork that's not true either. I just looked at his wiki page

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

I strait up Copy and pasted his wiki page man 🤷‍♂️

[@salcatalano8080]

Great video. He was a warrior. He's not in the HHF though.

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

Truth, editor error. It was supposed to say Ontario Sports HOF.

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

Leafs will do well under new coach 👏 #CraigB 💙🤍

[@scottlarsh3119]

Great video. Everyting except the AI voice narration😒

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

Gotta work with what we got at the moment. We’re constantly trying to improve so your feed back is very much appreciated. 🍻

[@puu5tin3n]

Is it possible to get a video from one great enforcer Dave Schultz? 😊

[@puu5tin3n]

My bad. Just found your video about him. Great workv🙏

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

No worries, glad your enjoying our stuff!! 🍻

[@ronrotunno-jh6hw]

As a Red Wing fan I hated Wendal Clark. Mostly because he was not a Red Wing at the time.

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

That is a very fair statement. I was crushed when he left the Leafs. He’s definitely a guy you want playing for you, instead of against you.

[@RedroomStudios]

Clark is NOT in the Hockey Hall of Fame. where the hell did you get that info from? its wrong.

[@jonnywishbone17]

This sounds like it was voiced by a 'bot

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

Bingo

[@JustBreath123]

Clarke never won a Stanley Cup for the Leafs..........Nothing else matters

[@patgrace3546]

Wrong Wendel is not in the Hall of Fame. He should be

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

Ontario sports hall of fame. Research error on our end. Sorry about that. But you are correct, he should be.

[@jmartino1740]

he is NOT in the Hockey Hall of Fame, sadly. who researched this? get your facts straight.

[@SmokeNIceNetwork]

It was supposed to say Ontario sports hall of fame. Good catch.

[@asdc-central2112]

I really wanted to watch this video but then I saw Marchand in your intro (with Gretzky, Mario et al) and realized you're not credible! Marchand - gimme a break!
