Lucky Bossy hits the puck jackpot in Vegas thanks to a Maloof Brother, per report in TMZ Sports

That headline makes more sense after you read the rest.

Normally, seeing one of your team's best players on TMZ would be cause for concern. In this case, it turns out the story is a happy one, albeit very unexpected and a little surreal.

A few months ago, we read that Mike Bossy's 50-in-50 puck, the one he scored the historic goal with in 1981 against the Quebec Nordiques, was being auctioned off on ebay by some guy despite Bossy asking for its return. In 1988, Bossy's daughter mistakenly gave the puck to the ebay guy as a gift and he sat on it for decades.
