Yes I kno he had the big three but those were more defensive then offensive minded defenseman. And lets not talk about Shutt. Also Lafleur was the much better playmaker as well. Overall it's close but if Lafleur had taken care of himself as in not smoke 2 packs everyday and drink he would've had 9 50 or more goal seasons as well. I mean he had 6 in a row and in the 7th year he scored 27 goals in 51 games. Anyhow Lafleur was the better playoff performer too. Also it should be taken into account that hockey news classed Lafleur as the 11th best player of all time while Bossy was ranked 20th.
There's no comparison - how many real individual trophies did Bossy win? How many times did he lead the league in scoring? Heck he had more goals than assist for his career even in the playoffs. Great scorer. Average skater, ave stickhandler, ave passer. Anyone remember Bossy going end to end? Or even rushing with puck? Played in cartoon scoring era also. Most of all, Trottier was the superior player.
Bossy was no Guy Lafleur.
