Totally agree. Clarke was talented and tough enough to back himself up, but he didn't need to at the time. If you went after Clarke you immediately had to answer to any of the other guys, which is what I see happening currently with the Flames in having McGrattan/Bollig/Engelland etc.
I also remember watching Clarke play as far back as Flin Flon.
