One particular evening, Wendel along with Brian Curran and Garth Iorg from the Blue Jays, went to a bar that Mackey was playing in, saw Wendel walk through the door and Dave Mackey face melted right on stage out of fear!. Story goes Mackey was about to bellow out La Bamba when all he got to was La Bammm, and then out of sheer terror his face melted like he was in the temple of doom! Wendel went on to have a couple of shots and scored a hat trick the next night.

You do us all a great service with this blog sir. A great, great service.<br /><br />@ Shaner:<br />Thanks for the kind words. You are one of my favourite personalities around here so it's particularly awesome to hear this from you. All Heart was a novice effort all the way. There was one single reason why/how I managed to gather the resources (and patience) to put it together - my lifelong admiration of the protagonist. I don't think I could do this kind of stuff for a living. Or ever again, for that matter.<br /><br />@ Everyone:<br />It means so much to me that there are so many Wendel fans out there who can identify with this video. The fact that old-timers get goosebumps and kids disbelieve what they're seeing makes everything worthwhile.<br /><br />@ Wendel<br />I bet you haven't even seen this yet.

I think it's because he got tired of being asked "Were you the guy in St. Louis who got dismembered behind the net by Wendel Clark?"<br /><br />Anyways, Bruce has the only bio of a player I've ever seen that includes <i>receiving</i> a bodycheck as a career highlight.

The pacing is absolutely so crisp and perfect. You have tied sound to action so perfectly well, there are professional editors who would be jealous of your effort. Every ebb and flow and cymbal and bass has a corresponding action to it, and that is very, very hard to do. You can usually see this kind of quality editing on a network broadcast, but they normally will actually edit the music to match the video, not the other way around. You didn't touch the sound one bit, and crafted your clips around the song.<br /><br />Marvelous work.<br /><br />The only similar work I have seen by an amateur would be a tribute to Steve Yzerman, but even that isn't in the same ballpark of professionalism. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA7gfd9CqA4<br /><br />It's really too bad that you only had old VHS tapes to work with (props to you, BTW. So much more time consuming than digital). I dearly wish the video quality was better because this video should have been the one shown on Wendel's tribute night.shanerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768430265547859112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-11799863687450426072009-10-27T22:45:16.579-04:002009-10-27T22:45:16.579-04:00Words cannot begin to describe the awesomeness tha...Words cannot begin to describe the awesomeness that is that video. <br /><br />Thanks for the trip down memory lane. <br /><br />GBGarrett Baumanhttp://mapleleafshotstove.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-73663707738302186802009-10-27T22:12:31.310-04:002009-10-27T22:12:31.310-04:00I feel like I'm in a Leafs class with a slight...I feel like I'm in a Leafs class with a slightly off-kilter, but ultimately, coolest teacher I know whenever I come to this site.<br /><br />Next lesson?bkbladeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993067848904779017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-18354130681476379062009-10-27T21:35:45.384-04:002009-10-27T21:35:45.384-04:00Bravo.
