In fact that Lafleur goal is so bad I wonder if the game was fixed.
The great majority of Bossy's goals were scored fifteen feet from the goalie on passes from Trottier with an exceptionally quick and well placed shot that few current or past goaltenders would have any chance of stopping.
The definition of pure goal scorer.
