BallHype: hype it up!

This Day on Tuesday. Now today focuses on a rookie who more than lived up to the hype. He was the stuff of legend. All those fifty goal seasons get you that kind of respect as a true sniper. Yes we are talking about Mike Bossy.

October 13, 1977

Rookie Mike Bossy scored his first NHL goal in his first NHL game, as the Islanders lost their season opener, 3-2 to the Sabres at Buffalo.
