Salming’s Legacy Through Clark’s Eyes | Toronto Maple Leafs News
Description
Wendel Clark, a Leafs legend who played alongside Borje Salming in the late 80s, calls him one of the greatest players he ever faced—so elite, Clark ranks him in his top five all-time. Despite playing on a struggling team, Salming dominated every game with unmatched speed and endurance, even outpacing younger stars at 35. Clark wonders what Salming could’ve achieved on powerhouse teams like the Islanders or Canadiens, and recalls how Salming—who still holds Leafs scoring records and stands on Legends’ Row—was considered second only to Bobby Orr in international play. The story ends with a hilarious moment: at 36, Salming walked away from a VO2 max test, convinced he didn’t need it.
