I like to talk about hockey but i have no one to talk about it with because no one knows anything about it, where i live its not popular. Not meaning to annoy people.My man, every thought that comes to your head doesn't need a new thread in the history sub-forum

I could talk all day about what a great goal-scorer Bossy was, but I think Bure was even better, maybe the 2nd-best ever, after Lemieux.

It's actually a great comparison, Bossy and Bure were such incredible scorers but very different from each other.
Bossy could score from all over the place, off the rush, great at finding space, great shooter, very focused on scoring goals.
Bure, on the other hand, utilized his explosive skating probably more so than any of the other great goal scorers. It was his skating, stickhandling, scoring instincts, creativity, and his constant nose for the net. He was certainly more of an individualist than Bossy. Bure also was a great shooter, but his skating and stickhandling really were the best of his goal-scoring skills.
"Magnitude of Bossy"? He only led the league in goalscoring two measily times while playing with phenomenal passers. Bure did it three times with drastically worse teammates.It's closer than I would have initially thought but I can't overcome the sheer magnitude of Bossy at his peak. Bure can't match that, even if he was fantastic and the most entertaining player to watch for a good bit there.

Bossy did it in a much higher scoring era. Nitpicking between 17 in the high-flying 80s and 16 in 1994 in favor of the 17 is a bit odd to say the least.How many times did Bure score 17 goals in the playoffs?
