This guy could have been one of the ALL time goal scoring leaders...... www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8445611His back problems cut his playing days short, but look at how consistent he was at scoring not only 50 goals per season, but 60.... |

You are correct, sir. Mike Bossy = all time Goals per game leader. beat out Mario Lemieux by less than one percentage point (although Lemieux was clearly the better player). |

Yeah...its funny how Bossy seems to ALWAYS get left out of the "who is the best ever" discussions........He clearly deserves to be mentions every time.

Loved Mike Bossy as a very young kid watching the game. My uncle was a big Isles fan so he turned me onto that team.... and it meshed well with my natural Oilers hate Just an understated sniper. Have his rookie card tucked away somewhere.

I agree. That Islanders dynasty was one of the great dynasties in hockey history. And Vivian, how could you forget Butch Goring?  ? One of the all-time great late season acquisitions, who won the Conn Smythe for playoff MVP one of those years - what a player! (My son plays out of Glenwood Community Centre here in the Peg, where they honour Winnipeg's own Butch Goring!). But that first line of Bossy, Trottier and Gillies was such a perfect trio - they each contributed superbly in their own way. What a great example of teamwork in a hockey line! Great team!!!!  PS - it was really great chatting with you, Vivian, at the party at 4-Play! |
