Mike Bossy is a legend, his on-ice performances beyond superlatives, his impact far-reaching. (Like, really far-reaching: Even wrestler Chris Jericho learned a word or two, and we learned a dance move.)
Bossy was a slam dunk for the Hall of Fame, and a no doubter to be included among the NHL’s list of its 100 greatest players over its first 100 years.
He was among five Islanders greats celebrated in that NHL100 event Friday night, and the video they created to salute him gives a glimpse into why. And why, to be honest, he always kind of knew it.
