So I was talking on Friday to Mike Bossy — for more than 40 years, always one of the distinct pleasures of having this job — about the fabled Guy Lafleur, who had successful quadruple bypass surgery Thursday.
And I’ll tell you what he said about the Flower, but there’s something else, first. I don’t know that this can be considered breaking news because it comes 30-plus years after the fact, but later in the conversation Bossy was matter-of-factly chatting about the difficulty of a player spending his career with one team then moving somewhere else late in his hockey life.
