Phil Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 From what I've read, it's a matter of days/weeks before he dies. Feel so bad for his family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I don't know how many of you got a chance to see Bossy in his prime, but he was just an absolutely unreal scorer. Probably the fastest release of any player to ever step on an ice rink. Really sad to hear... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 RIP, Mike. If his back didn't suck, he probably easily finishes in the 800-900 goal range. It's been a rough year for the Islanders franchise. An underperforming team on the ice and losing two of their legends. Also, a shit year for Denis Potvin who lost two of his good friends and his brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
