I've seen highlights of the fog game between Buffalo and Philly with former Sabres announcer Jim Lorentz killing a bat, and heard some of the stories, but it's another world for me. Schultz never scored more than 40 points in a year and he said on his interview that he got sent down to Rochester by Scotty Bowman after a brief stint in Buffalo, which effectively ended his NHL career.

I enjoy hearing about those days. I'm sure I would've enjoyed that era of hockey.

EDIT- linking an interesting story that I found from Schultz from the NYT in 1982 with some regrets about his career.




I remember the fog game ....
