Some terrible news regarding a hockey legend.

On Sunday evening, multiple reports surfaced to indicate that NHL Hall of Famer and former New York Islanders legend, Mike Bossy has opted to enter palliative care during his fight with lung cancer.

According to the reports, Bossy's condition has unfortunately worsened in recent months, and, rather than endure the physical rigors of further aggressive treatment, the 65-year-old has decided to return home and enjoy his remaining time surrounded by his family.
