Mike Bossy

Mike Bossy has lung cancer.

(If course, Shack will jump in and yell that everybody already knows and this and that everybody also know he was/is a heavy smoker and that I am stating the obvious.)

I didn't know, thanks Darts. One of the purest goal scorers to ever lace them up.

I was still living in Quebec when he was drafted by the Islanders and not the Canadiens. Huge mistake. The "knock" against him was that he was "soft" and "poor" defensively.

Just to get in front of Shack so he doesn't clutter up this thread as is his habit, Bossy was also drafted by the Indianapolis Racers of the WHA.

That makes me sad, he's almost blood, he's my 4th cousin.

and they were right. he was soft and poor defensivley. but he could score, no question.

Oh man - it was the 80's Islanders team that got me into hockey - the Flyers - Islanders series where BN23 scored the overtime winner hooked me into this love affair. Safe a speedy recovery for MB22.

Greatest goal scorer ever, highest goals per games played career.

Imagine how Canadien fans felt whenever they saw Bossy on the ice in the "wrong" uniform. Bossy was still available when it was the Canadien's turn to pick in the draft.

So, who did the Habs pick instead of Bossy?

As the saying goes, I'm living in your head rent free. You mention me in every post. LOL

You have no clue about anything I'm going to say.

Agree 100%. Never had less than 50 in a season, except for his last when he was debilitated by a bad back.

Sad to hear.

 

[Darts]

You just knew he would show up. I am aware of two threads (maybe more since I don't peruse that many threads) where TERB members chased him away. As recently as yesterday, he was pissing off members in another thread ( (37) Will you take the COVID-19 vaccine? | Toronto Escorts Review Board Forum | Terb ).

Ok, back to Bossy. The Canadiens picked Mark Napier instead of Bossy.

Here is the 1977 draft if anybody is interested. Bossy was picked 15th.

Neither do you.

Neither do you.

Actually, I have a very good idea of what I'm going to say.

Living in your head. And there's lots of unoccupied space.

Darts is now on record as agreeing with the anti-vaxxers.

Oh the blasphemy lol.

Soft? Don’t know who would have taken more cross checks to the back.

 

[shack]

Oh the blasphemy lol.

Oh the irony.

He has been admirably pro-vax, but in an effort to prove how reviled I am, he uses the arguments I get into with anti-vaxers as proof. We are both on the same side on this issue.

Bossy was an incredible hockey player. A pure sniper. Sad to hear.
