Clarke chased down the fastest, most talented player in the series -Valeri Kharlamov – and struck him with a two-hander that left the Soviets’ best player with a broken ankle. Kharlamov finished the game, missed Game 7, but was ineffective in the series finale.

Hey Ron
Wayne Gretzky based his strategy [on him](https://youtu.be/qQA74dLK26c)
Met him in the tunnel 2nd half of his career at the old Spectrum. The beginning for me. I was probably 8 or so. Not very big but fearless.
My favourite player as a kid, even had a book about him. I NEVER read books about athletes, the man was steel.
