O.K., let's get real honest in this post shall we..............Maybe Schultz's longevity comes from the fact that when someone else began to get the upper hand on Schultz, he ALWAYS got rescued either by teammates or the officials...(See the Cashman fight)
Also, look at his fight card, yes there are toughguys on that card but arguably, out of the 193 NHL fights only 42 of them would be considered legit tough guys (How we judge tough guys) And O'rielly and Howatt acount for 17 of those 42 fights.....
With 151 of those fights coming against lesser tier guys, I can see that being a huge factor in longevity...............
And before I get crucified by the heavyweights on the board, I am not saying the other guys on his card were not capable of dropping the gloves, they really are not on the same level as the other guys I include in the 42 (Orielly,Johnathan, Wilson, Maloney, Gillies, etc)
Also there are way too many fights that we really do not know if he won or lost.....maybe he got better age who knows....
As far as him having no peers for his antics, I digress........ Picard, and the Plagers were doing this stuff long before Schultz entered the NHL, yeah, Schultz gets the credit, but the Blues actually were doing this well before Dave........
