	The Sporting News : NHL - Your Mike Bossy memories
		I met Mike at a CUMIS Insurance function and he was a great gentleman posing for pictures with my wife and I. His remarkable goal against Vancouver in the air was the greatest goal in the history of the sport.
		In the 1983 playoffs against the Bruins when Mike Bossy was tripped up yet still managedt o unleash a backhanded shot and score while in mid-air.
		I can think of many fantastic finesse plays that Mike made over his career but what stands out in my mind was his unique ability to take a feed from Bryan Trottier just outside the opposing blueline and be able to wind up and release an extremely hard but accurate shot on net.
