Sure, others equaled and surpassed Maurice Richard’s single season record of 50 goals, but it was Mike Bossy who was the first to equal the Rocket’s feat of scoring 50 in just 50 games. The Boss shot out of the gate in ’80-81, his fourth of nine straight 50-plus goal seasons, and potted number 50 on Saturday, January 24, 1981 in front of hometown fans at Uniondale’s Nassau Coliseum. Late in the game, Mike beat Quebec Nordiques’ goalie Ron Grahame to help the Islanders to a 7-3 win and a place for himself alongside the Rocket in the record books. Bossy ended up leading the league with 68 goals (he had an incredible five 60+ goal seasons), 28 of them on the power play. This ticket stub from the historic night has a couple of very light creases and has “Mike Bossy Ties Record 50 goals in 50 games” penned on the back. Terrific memorabilia recalling Bossy’s greatness – nobody could snipe quite like Mike!
