Mike Tosser lol
Ranger fan here. He Never got the recognition he deserved. A pure goal scorer. He scored 37 his last year and said he wasn’t playing to his potential because of his bad back…. Guys today would kill to score 37.. I grew up in Queens, and always heard of this guy Bossy, and finally got to see him play in the early 80s. A truly gifted goal scorer. I think in my opinion Bossy and Mike Gartner, truly great scorers that deserved more than they got. RIP Michael Bossy, thank you for giving us, as New Yorkers, 10 of your greatest hockey years and 4 Stanley Cups.
R.I.P. Mike. Had one of the most intense ten year careers of any athlete in any sport. Seemed like a great guy as well. I’ve been a fan of the team for nearly half a century over here in Jersey and he was such a huge part of the team.
RIP
I emulated him playing street hockey, but he exemplified class on and off the ice and has a greater legacy as a gentleman, husband, father, teammate and friend.
R.I.P. Mike
You may be gone, but never will be forgotten.
I was born in 1982 in Vancouver. That year my Canucks made it to the finals for the first time. Even though I was a baby, I learned all about that season and watched the games years later as a kid. They had no right to have made the finals, the goaltending of Richard Brodeur was a real miracle every night, but they hit a brick wall in the finals known as the NY Islanders.
I never saw mike Bossy play a game live, just a lot of highlights and as a kid I studied his stats like homework. Even though that Islander team derailed the Canucks in 82, I loved them. They are the forgotten or overlooked dynasty in between Montreal and Edmonton. But I say, the Islanders had the greatest dynasty. They had it all. Defence, Offence, Goaltending and Coaching…but most of all they had Mike Bossy, the greatest goal scorer in NHL history.
RIP Mike Bossy, you won't be forgotten.
rip #22. the 50 in 50 in dramatic fashion. The highlight reel goal vs. canucks in gm. 3 of '82 finals was a thing of beauty classic goal. 9 straight 50 goal seasons. 574 goals in just TEN SEASONS. Bbossy still owns the highedt gpg avg. in nhl history. to put that into perspective if the wonky back doesn't end his career in 10 short seasons and with a full 20+ seasons ovi would be chasing bossy as well right now. plain and simple the isles don't win four cups in a row and 19 straight playoff series wins without #22. simply the greatest pure goal scorer the nhl has ever seen. we'll miss you #22. bow tie made the right choice in the '77 draft. rip mr. bossy and say HI to al, bow tie, jethro, and jean up there.
Pure Sniper!
Listening to Bryan made me cry. So sad!
HEAR THIS NOW…. THERE HAS BEEN ONLY 2 TEAMS WITH 4 OR MORE STANLY CUP WINS IN A ROW ONE WAS MONTREAL CANADIANS WITH 5 IN A ROW AND 4 WINS IN A ROW BY THE NY ISLANDERS…… AND MIKE BOSSY WAS THERE FOR ALL OF THEM GREAT GUY …. WILL BE MISSED .. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT….
I still have in my scrapbook, the newspaper photo of Mike Bossy taking a header after he got the game winner against Toronto, which is seen at the 8:30 mark of this most moving tribute.
Fan of the Bruins, but had he played 20 years or close to that he would be the first to break the thousand goal barrier.
His rhythym was beyond real
I'm a forever Leafs fan but Bossy was a great player. I don't usually care that much when a famous person dies but his death took a piece from my childhood and it shocked me, I knew he was ill but still…. RIP
Sad 😢 day another icon gone too soon rip 22
Rip Mike we miss you
I'm a diehard Islanders fan since the pre-dynasty days and over the years, great goal scorers have come and gone. But there is something quite special about someone who scores 573 goals in just 10 years. A true gentleman on and off the ice. Rest in eternal peace #22
We can only imagine Mike in today's open game. Thank you for the memories 22!
R.I.P Mike Bossy
RIP 22
Hard to believe Bossy is gone. He will never be forgotten. A true scoring genius.
Wow, I didn't know of Mikes death. I wonder was he a smoker, just curious? I had stage 4 six years ago myself. This man was one of, if not the best goal scorers in history. As a kid growing up in Jersey in the 70's I had tremendous respect for that franchise, they were special. Nystrom, Gilles, Trottier Howatt and of course Mike Bossy. One of the most unique and interesting franchises in sports history.
Sorry for your loss Bryan Trottier beautiful tribute to your friend.
mike bossy best natural goal scooer to ever play the game . mike you will be miss rip
The 1980 Olympic team who won the Gold Medal is what turned me on to hockey and Mike Bossy was my first favorite hockey player. RIP Mike Bossy #22.
Being a Cali kid growing up, I got intrigued with hockey when the US won gold in 1980. The first player I followed after that was Mike Bossy. Thank you Mike for bringing me into this great sport!
He had an incredibly hard shot, especially for someone who was not very big in stature pretty slender actually. Unbelievably hard shot. He was my favorite Islander because of his pure, gentlemanly play – like Wayne Gretzky.
Goodbye mike Bossy it was a privilege to watch you set records what a dynasty
Rest In Peace Mike Bossy! Number 22!!
R.I.P. Mike 🙁
Bossy, Kurri, Brett Hull, and Ovechkin are the cream of the crop among snipers. I don’t know who was the finest but Mike Bossy was my favourite. His goal production was second to none. Of all his achievements the one that stands out the most to me was the three consecutive play-off seasons in which he scored a total of 51 goals (17, 17, 17).
My favourite of all of his goals was the one he scored against the Vancouver Canucks in game 3 of the 1982 Stanley Cup Finals. He was parallel to the ice and he fired a backhanded shot about a foot off the ice, into the net. He was a very special hockey player. He was my favourite NY Islander. He was outstanding.
Such a shame that a human of such class should leave us so quickly
Rip goat we love you mike rest easy buddy
I’m a huge North Star fan, but growing up I wanted to be Mike Bossy! ❤️
R.I.P MIKE BOSSY…. I STILL REMEMBER THE CHASE,50 GOALS IN 50 GAMES..? THE WAY HE USED TO DO MY BLUESHIRTS, AND HE DID. IF YOU WEREN'T GOOD, I'D MAKE NO COMMENT ABOUT YOU. SINCEREST TO HIS FAMILY.
I am a life long Blackhawk fan and I proudly admit a life long Mike Bossy fan . I know greatness when I see it and Bossy delivered every game . My prayers to his family and to his teammates , I loved watching him play .
Так Майк умер?
Господи!
Я думал он будет Всегда!
Чистый и светлый- Мишель Босси!!
Он француз!
Пока жив буду помнить!
И другие болельщики тоже!
My Fav rest easy and thanks for the memories
Great video except for the women talking.
Was a big Flyer fan back then but we got WOR on cable and if the Flyers couldn't win I was glad if the Islanders could win. They were a great team and Bossy was a class act. RIP
I pray he & his cousin Linda are reunited in heaven…good catholic people…joining the Catholic saints .
Number 22 gone in the year 2022. 22 years after Maurice Richard. Someone above had it al planned out.
R.I.P
At that time I was a big fan of Montreal Canadians (not anymore!). I loved Mike Bossy and was pissed at the Canadians because they had the opportunity to draft him but passed. Just like they did with so many other great players.
No one will ever get me to change my mind, about Mike Bossy. He IS the GOAT of goal scorers. He became my favorite player, the first game I saw him play in, his rookie season. He has remained that, ever since. Friends eventually got tired of me, talking about Mike Bossy, but I didn't care! The national press always overlooked him, talking about Gretzky and Lemieux instead. Both deserved the accolades, but Bossy was so often not even mentioned during those conversations. Today, Guy LaFleur passed away and is getting 10 times the press Mike's passing got. I apologize for sounding bitter. I should be used to this, since it has been this way since Mike's rookie season. The only right wing I consider superior to Mike Bossy is Gordie Howe, and that is only because Howe is the GOAT, period.
RIP Mike Bossy. I will always love you.
One of the greats,a true natural scorer,like he was born to do this. I'm a Leaf fan but I always liked him.
Mike Bossy was drafted 15th in the 1977 NHL draft. Toronto and the NY Rangers actually passed on him twice no less. Scotty Bowman and his assistant Claude Ruel of Montreal had each been impressed with Bossy's play – and scoring – in person, but team scouts questioned his toughness and the Canadiens took Mark Napier with their first pick instead. Bossy was also drafted by the WHL Quebec Nordiques and offered far more money. Mr. Bossy said that he wanted to compete for the Stanley Cup not the WHL Avco Cup and signed with the Islanders
