In Memoriam Former pro hockey players/management/others deaths (Stephen Peat, Dave Gatherum, Johnny Gaudreau)

[Fenway]

 

[VMBM]

Even though my 'exposure' to him has been fairly limited (some international tournaments, a few NY Islanders games) and I wouldn't be the first one to laud his hockey skills, I still think Gillies was an exceptional player in his own way; size, strength, clutch performing (sometimes even without Trottier and Bossy)...

 

[ICM1970]

I remember Randy Boyd as an Ottawa 67. But Clark Gillies' passing is a real shocker, how sad.

 

[TumbaYumba]

2 regular season games, 5 playoff games, 1948 Cup

And he was the last living Stanley Cup champion from 1940s. In some way it's an end of an era.

Randy Boyd, played in 257 NHL games, with the Penguins, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Islanders, and Vancouver Canucks

Jean Potvin (72)

 

[Laphroaig]

I remember Jean Potvin making sure no one took liberties with his 14 year old brother playing for the Ottawa 67s. The Potvin brothers went on to be the only pair of brothers to finish 1-2 in defenseman scoring in an NHL season. Denis finished with 98 points and Jean with 72 in 1975-76. Watching the Potvin brothers play Junior hockey was a huge highlight for me. RIP Jean.

That's an understatement.

Shit.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Shit.

Bossy one of the best pure goal scorers in the NHL. How many goals does he score if he does not injure his back

 

[The Panther]

Ugh, what sad news about 'Boss'.

One of the most elite-skilled players, ever.

 

[Ben Grimm]

During his high scoring era Bossy was the best goal scorer in the NHL. Period. Rest in Peace, Mike.

 

[vikash1987]

Bossy one of the best pure goal scorers in the NHL. How many goals does he score if he does not injure his back

If Bossy’s back didn’t let up, it’s conceivable that Gretzky would’ve ended up chasing Bossy (after Howe) for the all-time goals record.

Very sad news about his passing.
