Bossy vs. Brett Hull

[Sentinel]

He did have dominance over his peers in terms of playoff scoring and goals per game.

No, he didn't. His GPG is lower than Gretzky's and Lemieux's at his age.

Who's saying this in 2025? Maybe I missed those posts in this thread, but who's saying this in this debate?

I think Hull vs Bossy is a great debate BTW. I don't like how I'm reacting in this thread, but if you're going to create one, why are you so readily mocking, or egging on like you are?

I see it ON FB ALL THE TIME. Literally, ALL THE TIME. You can never mention Bossy without someone posting "GOAT goalscorer!" right below.

You are blaming me for your reactions? There is a word for that, you know.

I'm responsible for my own reactions.

The pre dynasty, and even dynasty oilers had much less depth than the islanders. Gretzky's line and Messiers line saw much more ice time than Trottier/Bossy. Which in some ways makes the Oilers success more impressive.

Someone broke down the islanders ice time on this forum once, and found Bossy was only getting like 18 minutes a night. Those islanders teams were very deep and consistently rolled 4 lines.

You seem to have some bias against Mike Bossy.

If this isn't a strawman argument, I don't know what is.
