There's no doubt that Clark brings certain much-needed qualities to the
team, and he probably has influenced the play of some of the younger
players on the team, but I think you missed the mark on these two.

Anderson in particular had a reputation for having a mean streak in him
long before he ever came to T.O.  In fact, some people consider some of
his retatiliatory tactics down right "Ulfish" (as in Samuelsson).  Watch
his stickwork behind the play sometime; you'll see what I mean.

And Gilmour has always been thought of as a good two-way centre, not just
since Don Cherry started doing PR work for him on "Coaches' Corner".  You
don't get a good reputation for your defensive play without being a decent
and fairly frequent hitter.

Just my $0.02.
