[edit] Per Game Stats

I removed the line about Gretzky's numbers if he had retired after his first ten years. First of all, it's misleading because it's only true if you count the other players' full careers versus Gretzky's first ten years. A simple calculation from the individual player pages shows that Mario would've slightly edged out Gretzky in goals per game for their respective first ten years in the NHL with Bossy not that far behind. Also, it seems pointless to include a purely hypothetical stat (since Gretzky didn't retire after ten years) and particularly one about Gretzky when this page is about Mike Bossy.

[edit] Career Stats

I think that we need to add Bossy's career stats to this page. The write up is nice, but stats would make it a bit better.

[edit] Accomplishments Section

This section is turning an ad for Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky then subsequently a debate between Gretzky and Lemieux fans. Try to focus it on Bossy and if you are going to compare him to the two favorably don't follow it with three sentences intimating about how they are really way better. In situations like this I find it's always better to just try to keep it as brief as possible, get a succinct summary, and not get into an out of place long off-topic debate.
