It's a shame that many young hockey fans don't even know this guy. Bossy absolutely deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Gretzky, Lemieux and Gordie Howe. One of the greatest, most skilled players ever. If he had a full career, he'd have challenged Gretzky's goals title.

todays players canoot ever compare to Bossy....todays players do it for the cash not the love of the game.....yesteryear was all hart....BOSSY WILL ALWAYS BE A WINNER....I MEET THE MAN WHEN I WAS 5 or 6.....THE MAN WAS A REAL MAN.....he would eat CROSBY

Bossy had a .762 GOAL per game %. He played a majority of those first seasons in pain due to his back. Theoretically had he been able to maintain that pace and play as long as Gretzky- he would have beat Gretzky's goal total by about 239 goals. There's also no telling how much higher his % would have been had his back been healthy his entire career. Without a doubt Bossy is the most prolific goal scorer ever. The game and the players haven't really evolved that quickly .

What about Phantom Joe Malone?

@weredoomed Today's athlete is faster, stronger, smarter, better coached, properly diagnosed and trained. Without a doubt would Crosby not only score but dominate in every way in an 80's setting. Not only does Crosby face the best defence ever in today's game system, but the best goal-tending as well. You can't compare generations at all, it doesn't translate and is, as you say it, ignorant.

@TheMastadon15 You must not be old enough to have watched him play. There's no denying Crosby's skill. But Crosby is in his 6th season already and he's only scored 50+ goals once. At the end of Bossy's 6th season he already scored 365 goals and he scored over 50+ every year except his last which he scored 38 in 63 games. He retired at 30 and had 1126 points. To say Crosby is better or will be at this juncture is ignorant and premature,he's going to end up like Lindros most likely.

Man I hope Bossy didn't have teeth marks after this video sucked his dick so hard

[TheMastadon15]

gretzky is better as well, so is lemieux and orr, there is a reason why he has not been remembered like these three have. and btw i noticed some of u are saying how gretzky had it easy with all of the greats on his team.... um take a damn look at the islanders and tell me if any of them ring a bell, im sure theres couple of half decent players bossy played with too lol
