Mike Bossy vs Pavel Bure who's the better goal scorer all time?

[MadLuke]

That's serious cherry-pickimg that still does not account for the fact that Gretzky outgoaled Bossy in 6 of 8 seasons they were in the league together.

Yes I agree that it was a serious exercise done, the comments was more if you are really curious about the how it could be there was a very long and serious thread about it:

playoff + all regular season games against above average defensive team is not a small sample size.

Who was better at scoring goal argument for Bossy will be eye test/would have done it longer-more different league-more different teams built, less reliant at getting open with speed, etc...)
