That may have been the best series he ever played, and he played lots of good ones.

He was dominant and clearly the team leader. He knocked the snot out of any flyer who stepped out of line. He proved the notion of big bullies like the flyers actually being pussies. I don't know if he won the Conn Smythe, but he deserved it.

That fight was actually during a bench, clearing brawl, a couple seasons before the playoff series Robinson suddenly appeared and sought out Schultz and beat the crap out of him because Schultz earlier had knocked down John Van Boxmeer with one punch.

Don’t forget Bobby Clarke and Jim Watson

We loved Clarke in '72 against the Russians.

Jim wasn't so dirty. Older brother Joe was.

But Schultz was their ultimate goon, so it was very symbolic when Robinson manhandled him. They lost their aura of toughness when that happened.

Did you like Gary Dornhoffer better as a player or as a colour commentator on HNIC?

Schultz scored 20 goals one year and was a +25. Considering that he spent almost 6 hrs in the bin that year I would say that was pretty good.

To me Link Gaetz was the ultimate goon...

Ok so Schultz scored 20 one year, he was still a goon.

Link Gaetz played defence, defenceman are never goons there was too important…but he was tough.

The Mag Archives: Where is Link Gaetz now?

Hockey's scariest man, Link Gaetz, doesn't remember most of his mayhem. Luckily, everyone else does.

Take a read...He's the ultimate goon...No one else comes close to him in professional hockey.

You need to be more than a footnote. I don't know how many people heard of this guy. I know that I didn't.

Or one could ask, is one game in the NHL enough? If not, then how many?

Maybe his nickname was "Chain" Link Gaetz.
