A Historical Ride To Sixty

Thanks to Paul and the Caps for passing along this spot, currently running on Vs. (with which, incidentally, Islanders Outsider via our friends at Islanders Army rightfully has issues):

Hull's name shown inside the crease...someone at Versus a Sabres fan?

FAUX RUMORS said...

1) 60 goal scorers? If the list in the post is what appeared in the ad, then Bossy, Selanne as well as Mogilny were omitted.
2) There is NO doubt among those who were lucky enough to see him play that Bossy was the best goal scorer of all time. Had he stayed healthy 700 would have been easily attainable. Possibly 800.

Bossy's omission is especially galling because he achieved the feat as many times as Gretzky. (Yes, I somehow blew that one in the original post--it's updated now.) He's actually tied for the most 60-goal seasons!

This ad has been flogged on Versus, sometimes several times a game. If the Girlfriend Curse doesn't apply to Ovie, hopefully this jinx won't hurt him either.
