    I would like to add that he was a 50 in 50 player too.  Something else that I never see happening ever again.

    65 is way too young in this day and age.

    Matthew’s just did, although not from game 1 of the season 
    Now Bossy’s 9 consecutive seasons of 50 goals may never be touched 
    A great sniper, condolences to his family and fans

    Harold Snepsts handed the puck to the wrong guy with 2 seconds left in OT of Game 1 of the 1982 Stanley Cup final. Mike Bossy was a
    true sniper, a classy hockey player, a role model to me and many other young hockey players. He passes away far too young…  top 5 goal scorer in league history imo
