Islanders legend Mike Bossy, whose scoring touch helped drive the franchise to four straight championships, died after a battle with terminal lung cancer. He was 65. Bossy’s diagnosis became public last October, when he stepped away from his job as an NHL analyst for the French language network TVA Sports.
1/3 "The New York Islanders organization mourns the loss of Mike Bossy, an icon not only on Long Island but across the entire hockey world. His drive to be the best every time he stepped on the ice was second to none." – Lou Lamoriello

3/3 "On behalf of the entire organization, we send our deepest condolences to the entire Bossy family and all those who grieve this tragic loss." – Lou Lamoriello

How does a strong athlete die at such a young age while rock stars who did drugs still survive over the age of 70?

NY Islanders. Loved those guys. 80-83 Stanley Cups Championships. Great memories.
R.I.P. Mike.

Bossy was the best pure goal-scorer in the NHL until some kid named Gretzky came along. RIP.

How does a strong athlete die at such a young age while rock stars who did drugs still survive over the age of 70 Apparently the rock stars just have to make it past age 27 and they're good.
Seriously, there are plenty of them who don't really live the drugs lifestyle, such as Mick Jagger. Then there's Keith Richards - no explaining how he has made it this long.

He must have been "vaxxed" for Covid. It's been known to shorten life spans.

Being such a tobacco addict that he would smoke during post-game interviews?

I read where Keith quit smoking last year. So now he’ll probably live to 120.
