Mike Bossy is one of the greatest to lace them up at the NHL level. The New York Islanders have been lucky enough to have a ton of greats wear the orange and blue, but Mike Bossy, in my opinion, is the best to ever do so.
On this date in 1982, as the Islanders were on their way to their third straight Stanley Cup victory, Bossy scored his 49th, 50th and 51st goal of the season.
His 50th was certainly an important one as he became the first player in NHL history to start his NHL career with five straight seasons of 50 plus goals.
